No, you cannot directly port your mobile number to Safaricom Home Fibre—it’s a fixed broadband service without SIM-based portability. Safaricom separates mobile-to-mobile M-PESA number porting from their fiber internet plans. Wavelink Networks LTD offers superior fiber connectivity in Nairobi with same-day installation and no porting needed—dial 0748 111 304 for Quarry Road, Westlands, or Eastlands homes.
Understanding Number Porting vs. Fiber Internet
Kenya’s Mobile Number Portability (MNP) launched in 2017 allows switching carriers (Airtel→Safaricom) while keeping your number, but Home Fibre operates independently. Safaricom’s fiber uses ONT boxes and WiFi routers—not SIM cards—so traditional porting doesn’t apply.
Common confusion: Customers expect fiber bundles to inherit mobile numbers. Instead, Safaricom offers separate Home Fibre + mobile data bundles, requiring dual accounts. Wavelink bypasses this entirely with standalone unlimited fiber from KSh 1,500/month—no mobile tie-ins, cleaner billing.
Safaricom Fiber Porting Reality Check
Safaricom’s official stance: No number porting to Home Fibre. Their FAQs confirm fiber activation creates new service IDs. If porting from Airtel/Zuku:
-
Mobile stays separate (port via *445# for voice/data)
-
Fiber needs new signup (2,500 KSh starter plan, 3-7 day install)
-
Bundling workaround: Link accounts post-activation for discounts
2026 pain points:
-
7+ day fiber delays in Kilimani/Kileleshwa
-
Separate apps for fiber vs. mobile management
-
Fair Usage Policy throttles heavy users
Why Wavelink Networks Beats Safaricom Porting Hassles
Skip porting complexity—choose Wavelink’s plug-and-play fiber serving Hamza Estate, Crystal Rivers, and Industrial Area with true unlimited speeds (5-20 Mbps).
