Need English speaking support with bringing over previous mobile number

2 years ago

Hi Telekom team,

I have signed up for a mobile pre-paid account with Telekom and want to take my previous mobile number with me. However, there is some problem with getting this mobile number. I have been talking to your support team 3 times, which unfortunately only via German and my German is not very good, and each time I have provided all the necessary information. But till now, I still receive an email from Telekom support to contact them again as they still have questions. Can you please help to connect me with an English speaking support person as I would like to get this issue solved?

Thanks and have a great day ahead!

      Greetings @xelloss_sama 
      Subsequent porting of the number is not possible.
      This is only possible when concluding the prepaid contract.

      Thanks for the info but my previous mobile number was with my company and it was a post-paid contract. My company have ended this contract and have already informed the mobile provided (1&1) that I want to take this mobile number. During my four calls with Telekom support, not once did they mention that it was not possible.

      @Malte M. I've filled up as much as possible. I don't have a Kundennummer yet but I have provided my Aufstragnummer instead. Hope this will help.

      thank you for the pleasant call. As discussed via phone I'm going to contact my colleagues from the business service and write you again, when I get net information.

      Have a great day.

      Good morning @xelloss_sama,

       

      number porting has been rejected because the "customer type" is wrong.

      This means you are a business customer with your current provider.

      In the first step, it is now necessary for you to accept the mobile phone tariff there.

      Has the contract already been terminated there?

      The number can then be ported to us.

      Please let me know if you have commissioned the takeover in your name.

      I will then place the order again with your porting request.

      (Since I'm writing with a translation program, I hope everything will be translated correctly.)

       

      Best regards

      Thanks @Marita W. for the response. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by "accept the mobile tariff there". Yes, the contract has been terminated and will end at 31 August. My office has already contacted the current provider that I want to take this number with me to a new provider but I can check whether they have given my name or not. Please let me know what else I need to do.

      @Malte M. I need your help again! 😩 Can you please help to update my information for the ID authentication? Unfortunately, the birth year and expiry date is incorrect there so I could not proceed with the authentication. I'll give this information in my profile so can you please refer there? Thank you so much again!
