Swedish mobile porting, SMS

Hi,

I have a mobile phone number in sweden that is still active but barely used, I need to port it out due to country-wide network changes in 2026 that will block some phone models.

I noticed mentioned somewhere that SMS capability in Sweden had been in development, but didnt find confirmation that it had been finished.

So if I use FlyNumber to port this number, assuming there is no problem with the port, would I be able to forward SMS messages to my other mobile number, or to a VoIP app?

Is there a VoIP app that is recommended over the others?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for posting and considering us here.

We should be able to port the Sweden mobile number without issues - keep in mind there is a one-time $75 fee to port in Sweden mobile numbers.

Incoming SMS works; it’s outgoing that’s in development (almost done).

Is there a VoIP app that is recommended over the others?

Well, if you’re using our phone system, there is an app that’s integrated with it - otherwise, we really like Groundwire (one-time paid app).

Normally, the phone system is 14.95, but in this case, you can get it enabled for 9.95 - if you need simple incoming and outgoing, you can cancel it in a couple of months when the new panel is launched, where incoming/outgoing will come with each FlyNumber without the phone system.

Please open a ticket and let us know the Sweden number you want to port in so we can confirm and start the process if you choose to move forward.
