Don't terminate your existing service. You old operator account must be active at the start of the port.

Porting
will automatically close your old account. If you cancel service before the port completes, your account will
be closed prematurely and you will lose your number.

Gather the information you need. All operators require at a minimum the number you are porting and the account
number and PIN or password. Most also ask for the account holder's name and billing address. If you don't
know your account number or password see the list below for tips on finding the account credentials for specific
operators.Â

Initiate a number port with the operator you are switching to. Most operators let you do a port online. A few
require you to call.Â

Ports usually complete within 24 hours, often in an hour or less. During the porting process there may be a short
period, usually less than five minutes, when neither phone works. When the port is done you may get a welcome
text or voice message from the new operator. Or the new phone may just start working without any message. If
the number hasn't ported within 24 hours you need to call your new operator.

Text Messaging can take longer to fully activate. It can take up to 3 business days after calls work with a ported
number before incoming texts work from all operators. If your texts aren't working 3 business days after calling
starts working, contact your new operator.

1) Find out which Cell phone provider your target has. If you don't know you can
use www.phonevalidator.com to find out. It's usually right most of the time.

2) You should have a burner that you want that phone number ported to.
