Problem with international number retrieval (nummerbehoud)

Hi, 

I did a number porting request for my French number that I would like to convert in a Dutch number (keeping the same number), but I did not receive any code for the porting and I am now stuck, not being able to download my new e-sim. 


How can I either receive the SMS or cancel my porting request ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi ​@mimm62,

Thanks for your message. As ​@Scotsman already mentioned, unfortunately this isn't possible. Number porting is only available for active Dutch mobile numbers. This means you can't transfer a French number to Simyo while keeping the same number.

You'll need to get a Dutch mobile number to use with Simyo.

I hope this clarifies things!

Greetings,
Khadija

As far as I know, you cannot port a French number (or any international number) to Simyo (or to any other Dutch provider for that matter). That explains why you did not receive a code. You can expect a response of one of the moderators of this forum on Monday. If the matter is urgent, Simyo Customer Service can be reached every day via WhatsApp from 10:00 to 17:00.
