How do I port my number in?
Last updated: May 8, 2026
You can bring your existing phone number to your new plan during sign-up or from within your account after activation.
What you need before starting
Your current phone number
Your account number with your current carrier — find it on a bill or in your carrier's app
Your port authorisation code (PAC or transfer PIN) — your current carrier must provide this on request
Your current SIM must still be active
Do not cancel your current plan before the port is confirmed. Cancelling early can make the number unavailable to transfer.
How to request a port-in
Open the app → your subscription or plan details → select Port in my number or Keep my existing number
Enter your current phone number, account number, and authorisation code
Keep your old SIM in a device and stay available — the port typically completes within a few hours to one business day
You will receive a notification when the port completes
What happens to my temporary number?
In the US — your ported number will become active on your plan once the port completes.
In the UK — if your plan was activated with a temporary number, that number is replaced by your ported number once the port completes.
Your billing cycle after a port-in
Your first payment is processed when you sign up. Your renewal date is set when the port completes and your subscription becomes active — not when you first signed up.
