Porting your phone number is an easy process. You will need the following information from your old carrier:
• The phone number you wish to port
• Your Account number
• Your PIN number
• The street address associated with your old account
Our website will ask for your full name, address, and other personal information. Please remember, it must match the information that is on file with your old carrier. If anything does not match, we won’t be able to port your phone number over. That’s why it’s a good idea to speak with a representative for your old carrier, so you can confirm the correct information.
Please Note! If you have a GSM (SIM card) you must select an UNREAL Mobile number first, before you begin the porting process. Click here to learn how to get an UNREAL number for your account.
