How to Keep Your Cell Phone Number When Changing Carriers
The first step is to determine whether or not you really want to keep the number. Many decide to keep the number out of comfort and habit, despite facing harassing phone calls everyday. Sometimes it is best to start fresh, and get a brand new number. However, others may find that maintaining the number is the only way that they can do business.

The second step is to decide what carrier you want to change to. In the United States, many customers are migrating on a daily basis. While the company you choose doesn’t necessarily affect the port process, it is vital to know in order to avoid having to go through this process on multiple occasions.
The third step to consider is whether or not you want to port a cell phone number or a house phone to the new company. Porting a cell number is much easier and quicker than a house number, as that can take up to two weeks to fully process.
Once you have steps one through three figured out, the next step is to find one of your old carrier’s bills. You will need to get the account number off of the bill, but it is generally recommended that you just bring the bill to the store when you want to go through this process.
