How Do I Change My Phone Number?
If you want to change your Verizon phone number, or, if you are switching to Verizon and want to keep your current phone number, it's easy with My Verizon.
Go to vzw.com and sign into your My Verizon account. Once signed in, select Devices from the My Verizon navigation and choose Device overview. Click on the device you wish to manage.
Next, scroll down until you see Change Mobile Number and then click Manage. Only Account Owners and Account Managers will have the ability to change a phone number. You'll have the choice to get a new number, or you can transfer over an existing number - say from a different wireless carrier or a land line. Make your selection and click Continue.
If you would like to get a new number, enter your ZIP code or you can select a City and State from the dropdown. Make your selection and click Continue. You will then select the first six digits of your new number. Next, select the date you want the change to take effect, and then click Continue.
If you have chosen to transfer over an existing number from another carrier, you'll first be prompted to enter the phone number you want to transfer, and then click the button to Check eligibility. If your number is eligible, you'll get a message here, then click the button to Continue.
Next, you'll enter the authorized signer's name (that's the person whose name is on the account for the number you are transferring), a contact phone number - other than the transferred number - and the billing address for that number. You'll also need to include the account number for the number from its original carrier, and any account PIN if one is set. Check the box to note that you understand there may be costs associated with your existing provider for transferring your number, which could include a termination fee. Haz clic en Continue.
Now pay attention to this part, it's really important... Be sure to read over the review page, because once you change your number, you CAN NOT go back to the old one. If everything looks good, click Submit and you're done! The confirmation page will provide instructions to activate your new number depending on your previous selections.
