Sometimes you need to port out your number to Verizon for some reason. You may belong to the following cases:
- Port a number to a new line with Verizon,
- Replace the current line,
- Transfer a number from Verizon mobile reseller.
How to Port a Number Out to a New Line with Verizon
During the process of number porting, the telecommunication service with your previous carrier will continue working and you’re allowed to use your new Verizon mobile to make a call but fail to receive one.
With your number successfully being transferred, you’ll receive a text from Verizon on your new mobile and you’ll be able to dial and answer all numbers with your new Verizon service.
How to Port a Number to Replace Your Current One
In the process when your current number is being ported out from your current service to a new line, your Verizon mobile and other devices provided by other providers will normally work.
With ports being completed, you’ll receive a free text message from your Verizon mobile including some directions telling you how to reprogram your mobile. As you receive that text message, the mobile number with other carrier will stop working immediately and you should start to reprogram your Verizon mobile.
After that, the number you’ve purchased from other providers, like PhoneNumberWorld, can be used to dial and answer calls through Verizon mobile service or plan.
How to Transfer a Number from Verizon Mobile Reseller
To transfer a number from Verizon mobile reseller, your new Verizon mobile service fails to be used until the porting comes to a real end.
With number porting completed, the mobile provided by other providers will stop working and you should reprogram your Verizon mobile at once.
With your Verizon mobile reprogrammed, you’ll be able to use the number transferred from another carrier to dial and receive calls and messages through Verizon mobile.
Must-Read Tips before Porting a Number to Verizon
- Both landline and mobile numbers can be transferred from your current service carrier to Verizon mobile.
- The guide mentioned above works on the numbers purchased from PhoneNumberWorld and other numbers from other carriers.
- Before real porting, your number should be guaranteed to be “valid” to be transferred to Verizon.
- The transferring usually takes about 24 to 48 hours and you should leave much time if the phone number will be used for important occasions.
