In short, you will want to contact your current provider to ask for port-out credentials. These credentials typically consist of an Account Number and a PIN. Once you have these, you can provide them to your new provider, who will initiate the port request to transfer your phone number.

It's crucial to understand that you cannot keep your phone number indefinitely if you do not have an active subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you have 60 days from the cancellation date to keep your phone number. After 60 days, there’s no guarantee that the carrier has not released it.

The best practice is to port your phone number to a new provider before canceling your current subscription. This will ensure a seamless transition without the risk of losing your number.

By following these guidelines, you can make your phone number porting experience as smooth as possible. Happy switching!
