How Do I Change My Phone Number?

If you would like to get a new number, use 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.

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 Continuar.
