How Porting Works

1
Check Eligibility

Enter your current phone number to verify it can be ported. Most US numbers are eligible.

Landline, VoIP, and most wireless numbers can be ported.
2
Submit Port Request

Provide your current carrier info, account number, and PIN. We handle the rest.

You'll need your latest bill and account details from your current provider.
3
Verification

We submit the port request to your current carrier. They verify ownership and approve the transfer.

This typically takes 1-3 business days for landlines, 4-24 hours for wireless.
4
Number Activated

Your number is live on NumberDepot. Set up forwarding, voicemail, and all features immediately.

Your old service is automatically cancelled when the port completes.
What You'll Need

Active phone number (not disconnected)

Account number from current carrier

Account PIN or password

Name on the account (must match)

Service address on file with carrier

Latest billing statement (recommended)

Important Note

Do not cancel your current service before the port is complete. Disconnecting your number before the port finishes will cause the port to fail, and you may lose the number permanently. Keep your account active until we confirm the port is successful.

Porting FAQ

How long does porting take?

Wireless numbers typically port in 4-24 hours. Landline and VoIP numbers take 1-7 business days. Complex ports may take up to 14 days.

Will I lose service during the port?

There may be a brief interruption (a few minutes) when the port completes. We'll notify you when it's about to happen so you can plan.

Can I port my number back?

Yes. You own your phone number and can port it to any carrier at any time. There are no lock-in periods.

Does porting cancel my old service?

The phone line associated with the ported number is cancelled automatically. Other services on your account (internet, TV) are not affected.

Is there a porting fee?

NumberDepot charges no fee to port in. Your previous carrier may charge an early termination fee if you're under contract.
