Hey @dmillerbogan, we want to help you find this passcode, so you can transfer your number. 

 

The passcode you're referring to is called a Number Transfer PIN, and it's needed whenever you port your number into or out of AT&T. If you have AT&T service and you're looking to port your number out, then you can find your Number Transfer PIN in one of the following ways:

  • Online with a browser:
    1. Go to your MyAT&T profile.
    2. Choose People & Permissions
    3. Select Wireless.
    4. Scroll to Transfer phone number and Request a new PIN. The Number Transfer PIN will be displayed on screen. 
  • Using the MyAT&T app:
    1. Sign into the MyAT&T app.
    2. Go to your profile, and select People & Permissions
    3. Scroll to Transfer phone number and Request a new PIN. The Number Transfer PIN will be displayed on screen.
  • From your AT&T device
    1. Dial *PORT, and enter your account passcode. You'll get a text sent to you with your Number Transfer PIN.

Keep in mind, this is only for postpaid service. If you have PREPAID service, then you won't need a Number Transfer PIN. Additionally, if you're transfering your number to AT&T, then you'll need to reach out to your current provider for the Number Transfer PIN. 

Thanks for reaching out to the AT&T Community Forums.

Keep in mind, this is only for postpaid service. If you have PREPAID service, then you won't need a Number Transfer PIN.

If you have prepaid service, use your account pin.
