  • Trading in your device to your new service provider? Make sure you request the Number Transfer PIN before signing up with them.

Request your Number Transfer PIN close to the time you’ll submit the transfer request to the new provider. You can use a single Number Transfer PIN for all numbers that are on the same account.
