Porting an existing number: Why is it that I am not able to port my current number if I am signing a two year contract and coming from another carrier?

I talked to Amazon.com customer service. The rep had to ask around to a few people, but it appears that it's okay to port a number from a different carrier. However, that number may not be a Cingular number. I would suggest that you also check with customer service to make sure you get the same answer. If so, it seems that they need to clarify the rules.

You have to call tracfone and speak to an operator and tell them you are porting your number over. It also helps if you have a new tracfone card to add minutes to your new phone.

if you want to keep your old number you will have to go to an at&t store. i had verizon before i had this phone and I purchased it at the at&t store where they were able to import my old number.

No, you keep the number you received when you signed up. It stays the same no matter where you move to as long as you have internet service. If you want to change numbers, it's $10

If your current contract is expired then you should be able to port your current number as well as get the phone at the discounted price so long as you are willing to contract to Verizon.

If you T-Mobile customer service they should be able to help you. You should be able to port your old number if you want.

You can keep any telephone number you have but you need to port it to a service provider. If you need more info email me directly. Paul

You have to get the account number from your company for example I was with AT&T. Just call your company and let them know that you need the account number to switch your phone number that your using now to T-mobile :)

The phone is locked to AT&T; so you cannot use it you are currently with another carrier e.g. Verizon. If you are already an AT&T; GoPhone customer your phone number comes over to this new phone when you insert the SIM card from your old phone. Not sure what happens if you use a SIM from an AT&T; contract phone.

Yes you can , they call it porting. But OOma states: Please note that it takes an average of three to four weeks to complete the porting process. Number porting is supported in most calling areas

I believe you would have to contact the carrier (T-Mobile) to do this. Once they enter the new number in their computer system it changes the number on your phone. I ported my number from another carrier when I switched to T-Mobile and the whole changing of the number took only minutes. You can also switch sim cards and when you activate the new sim card a new number would be assigned. Hope this helps.

hi. yes you can switch to straight talk and still keep your existing phone number. when you activate your phone online it will ask you if you want to switch your phone number. The question comes from a computer talking just to let you know. if you have problems getting the number to switch then talk to a representative and they will help you change your number in about 2 or 3 minute after they pick up. i would suggest talking to a representative.

Has anyone tried to port the number through cingular after they received the phone? My friend says that's what he did and it was no problem. He just had to go to a cingular location and they inserted a new chip.

Obviously porting would work, but you can also check available area codes on the Ooma site. [http://www.ooma.com/products/choose-number] Note the site has a place to check the portability of your current number as well as check for a given area code.
