LNP to existing device?

dbrashear · ‎09-25-2008

When I got my iPhone I was told that when I was ready I could port the number from my old provider. I am. But I can't figure out what I need to so to initiate the port. Is it just "call customer service"?

I could be wrong, but I think the porting needs to take place right BEFORE you activate new service. Not sure if they can do it after the fact...

AFAIK, as long as the old account is active, it should be possible to port the number in, replacing the current number on the account. A friend of mine did it a couple of years ago, when he started AT&T service a month before his VZW contract ran out, then a month later ported in, replacing the number AT&T issued to him. I believe he went to a corporate store to do it.

Thanks for clarifying!

Took all of 10 minutes for the port to take effect, too.
