Thanks. Appreciate the reply!I try to make a best guess
23 Jun or before - no bill generated yet, telco may block portout on grounds of outstanding bill not settled
24 Jun - generate bill (which is dated 1 Jun)
25 Jun - charge to credit card, update to “paid status”
26 Jun, 27 Jun, 28 Jun - the 3 “safe to port out dates”
29 Jun onwards - may risk incurring next mth charges? (Can check if the rules states port out at least 1 day before end of the month, but this is hard to understand as portout happens 11pm to 3/4 am)
there are other telcos that bills on 1st day of mth (invoice generated) & deduct on 8th or 15th day. This gives 2 weeks of time to portout comfortably before hitting next mth.
sometimes when all conditions set by donor telco are met (min 2 mth stay, paid all bills), there are other small details which may jeopardise successful portout within the 3 day window (26-28 Jun).
portout itself not hard but i think a bit tricky with this telco. Same logic as avoiding to stay in a hotel without a clear & easy to understand escape plan. Well, diff is wun die but just pay another mth extra aft portout
Cheers~
