Checks before requesting or retrying MNP

  • Confirm line type, account holder, current pending procedures, and the method selected at the destination carrier before retrying.

Recommended troubleshooting order

  1. Open the account page and confirm the exact line, contract type and account holder.
  2. Check whether another operation is pending: SIM/eSIM reissue, plan change, billing repair, identity verification or cancellation.
  3. Choose either MNP One-Stop or the reservation-number method based on the destination carrier's application flow.
  4. If using a reservation number, confirm issuance status, expiration date and whether a previous number is still active.
  5. Complete the destination-carrier application before performing a normal cancellation at the old provider.

When settings cannot fix the problem

If the line itself is not MNP-eligible, is a data-only/special contract, or requires a contract-type conversion, changing a phone setting will not solve the issue. Complete the provider-side procedure first.
