I'm ready to port my number to World Mobile! What should I know and how can I do it?

I'm ready to port my number to World Mobile! What should I know and how can I do it?

Before you begin the number porting process you'll need to know a few things:

First, check that your device is supported on our U.S. mobile plans here
  1. To start the number porting process you'll need the following from your existing carrier:
    1. Name of account holder
      1. Full name of the current account holder. This information is case-sensitive so enter it exactly as it is shown
    2. Type of account
      1. Whether the type of account is business or residential
    3. Number Transfer PIN (port-out PIN)
      1. This is only created by your current carrier at the time of your number port-out request, and is not the PIN used to sign into your account
    4. Account number
      1. You can usually find this on your billing statement or in your account portal
  2. For security and privacy reasons World Mobile and our staff cannot obtain your account number, Number Transfer PIN or any other information from your existing carrier for you. This process and information must be initiated and gathered by you. You will use this information to begin the number porting process.
  3. Do not close your existing account or deactivate service with your existing carrier until you've ported out your number to World Mobile. Your service and account (if you are the only single line with the account) at your existing carrier will close once your number has been ported.
  4. Be careful of number porting scams and always make sure you're interacting with the accurate applications, website(s) and support staff at your existing carrier before proceeding. We want this process to be smooth and safe for all parties involved.
  5. The terms and costs involved (if any) vary from carrier to carrier, so be sure to check with your specific carrier ahead of time.
