Is there a way I can port an existing cell phone number onto my current account?

Question by Michelle E: Is there a way I can port an existing cell phone number onto my current account?
I added my husband onto my cell phone account but I wanted to keep his cell phone number the same so his father doesn't have to worry about the fees or minutes. How can I do this?

Call customer service of your current cell phone provider. Each of the main Cellular providers has a special department called the porting department. BTW the process of transfering an existing number to a new account from another provider is called porting.

Here they are going to need:

The name of the account of the cell phone number you want
The password " " " " " " " " "
The account number "" " " " " " " "

They will tell you to wait a day and your set.

Also before you call, make sure your account is active. They can't get his old phone number if he already closed the account with the other company. They can only get the account if the old account is still active.

It will take a day maybe a few days for the porting to complete.
