Published: 13 Mar 2024
Now that you can finally move your number between Telcom providers, you will be asked for a USC. Let's go over how to get one and what it is
What is USC?
Unique Subscriber Code or USC for short, is a nine digit code you need to get from your current provider to transfer your number from one provider to another
This measure is in place, to make it harder for someone to steal your number
How long is the USC valid?
After receiving the USC, it's valid for 15 days
How often can I move?
You can move your number once every 60 days, since your last move
If you have any lock-ins, outstanding debts or are a principal account holder, with other accounts under you. You will not be allowed to move, until the status changes
Internal vs External porting
Internal porting, is when you port your number within the same telco, from prepaid to postpaid or vice-versa
While external porting is when you go from one telco to another, example going from Smart to Globe
