Issues to Consider Before Submitting Authorization
Wireless numbers cannot be ported.
You cannot port a number if another porting request is active.
Distinctive ring, PIC freeze[i], or a carrier change restriction must be removed prior to porting your number.
You must have a full copy of your current phone bill dated within 60 days.
A “no porting” or “frozen” subscriber agreement with your existing carrier will block the request.
DSL service will automatically be canceled on ported numbers. Do not port DSL service numbers unless you are changing your DSL service.
