Transfer to postpaid service and keep your prepaid telephone number!


This service allows you to get transfered anytime you want to any postpaid tariff plan you choose, keeping your number and benefitting from the current offer for post-paid subscriptions.

  • the COSMOTE card with the telephone number you want to keep;
  • ID / necessary documentation for concluding the contract – see the "How can I become a COSMOTE subscriber" from "Customer Care / Problem Solving" section.


You must also know:

  • for your contract, same conditions are applied as for any other new contract conclusion (2 monthly access fees advance payment, migration to another tariff plan only after 8 months, etc);
  • any existing credit or active extra-option (2000 minutes option, SMS option) are lost in the moment of tranfer;
    any other prepaid services active in the moment of transfer will be lost as well – this is why you must indicate which are the services you require when the new contract is concluded;

I want to transfer my postpaid subscription to another person.

The transfer of the post-paid service subscription can be made between two individuals, two juridical persons or an individual and a juridical person. The transfer between two individuals requires:
- for the person who wants to transfer the contract: ID

- written request for transfer signed by both subscribers

The documents must be shown in original or legal copy.

I want to replace my SIM card because it was lost/stolen/damaged.

We suggest that the customer goes to the nearest COSMOTE shop or commercial associate to replace the SIM Card. As long as bills are up to date, the required document is Identity document or passport (foreign citizen).

I want to make an international call. What should I do?

To use the international calling facility please visit the COSMOTE shop or a commercial associate or call the Customer Care Service and ask for the activation of this service.
