Heads up:

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

Get your Number Transfer PIN

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. The Number Transfer PIN will expire four days after you request it. If you need a new one, you can ask for another by following the same steps.

Helpful tips

  • You’ll need to pay any balances due your current provider. You may also have to pay an Early Termination Fee to them.
  • We may charge a one-time transfer fee, or an activation fee, for each new line of service.
