- Porting ZIP Code: Also referred to as the ZIP code required for porting out.
- Porting Account Number: Ensure the correct account number is provided.
- Valid Port-Out Transfer PIN: Request the current and active PIN for porting.
- Disable Port Protection: Make sure port protection(number lock) is fully disabled for your phone number. (Note: Sometimes agents will say it's off, but we recommend logging into your account online to confirm and having the agent double confirm it's off, to avoid delays.)

NOTE 1: If you are on a family plan and want to port out the primary number, make sure to designate another number on the account as the primary number first. Failing to do so may result in the cancellation of all lines on the account. Additionally, any special promotions you are on could trigger an early termination fee (ETF), which would be due immediately.
Note 2: If you do not see your carrier in the drop-down list, select the major network that your carrier uses. EX: Light Service = AT&T

Your Number is not able to be ported:
There are times when some will encounter the following message when attempting to port their phone number:
This message is typically encountered when your phone number can not be transferred to our service. This is a block by your current carrier, and we're relaying their message to you.To confirm this is the issue:
You can confirm that this is the issue by checking the phone number on AT&T's site here, or on T-Mobile's site here.
• If the same is reflected there (that the phone number is unable to be ported), then we will not be able to bypass this message, as this is being blocked by the carrier.
• If the number is showing as eligible to port, please reach out to us.
To get more details on the issue:
- You can contact AT&T or T-Mobile to ask (whichever is relevant).
- Please note that there have been instances where the carrier will relay that there is not an issue with the phone number being ported in.
• To help prevent this confusion, you will want to specify to the carrier that you are seeing that your number isn't eligible to port via the carrier's number port eligibility checker.
- Check the box to agree to the terms of service and privacy policy, then click "Pay Now."
