I moved to London and kept the Lagos number my family and bank already had. My OTPs still arrive without swapping SIMs.

The honest comparison
How does Keep My Number compare to Google Voice and MTN for a Nigerian number abroad?
Keep My Number makes a Nigerian mobile number usable after you move. Google Voice cannot port +234 numbers, while MTN Keep My Number protects a prepaid number from recycling but leaves calls and texts tied to the MTN line and roaming.

Facts checked August 2026. Google Voice personal accounts accept active US mobile numbers only, so Nigerian (+234) numbers are not eligible. MTN Keep My Number is available to MTN prepaid customers for ₦3,500 for 1 year, ₦5,000 for 2 years, or ₦7,500 for 3 years; it excludes the number from disconnection and recycling but roaming is a separate service. MTN TravelPass starts at ₦5,000 for a 1-day voice-and-data plan. Sources: support.google.com, mtn.ng, and ncc.gov.ng.

Nigerian number questions, answered.
Can I keep my Nigerian mobile number when moving abroad?
Yes. Transfer your active +234 mobile number to Keep My Number before it is disconnected or recycled. Calls, texts, bank OTPs, and verification codes then arrive in the app without relying on Nigerian carrier roaming.
How do I transfer a Nigerian mobile number?
Start with your active, NIN-linked line and enter the ownership details exactly as registered with your carrier. We guide the transfer and verification steps. For standard Nigerian carrier ports, NCC requires identity confirmation and validation from the current line.
How long does Nigerian mobile number porting take?
NCC guidance says ordinary operator-to-operator ports are normally completed within 24 to 48 hours. Timing for your Keep My Number transfer can vary by carrier and ownership checks, while setup in the app takes about ten minutes.
Will Nigerian bank OTP and 2FA texts still arrive abroad?
Yes. Your number remains a real +234 mobile number, so OTPs and verification texts from banks, payment services, delivery apps, and other accounts keep arriving on the number they already recognize.
Can Google Voice keep a Nigerian +234 number?
No. Personal Google Voice accounts accept active US mobile numbers only. Nigerian +234 mobile numbers are not eligible to port into Google Voice.
How is MTN Keep My Number different?
MTN Keep My Number protects an MTN prepaid number from disconnection and recycling for 1, 2, or 3 years. It does not move calls and texts into an independent app; using the line abroad still depends on the MTN SIM or eSIM and separate roaming service.
Can I use a local SIM or eSIM with my Nigerian number?
Yes. Keep My Number carries your +234 number over the internet, so you can use any local SIM or eSIM for data while receiving Nigerian calls, texts, OTPs, and verification codes in the app.
