Transfer Your Phone Number | Switch to Verizon Wireless

Same number. Better network.

Keep your current number when you switch to Verizon.

Check if you're eligible to transfer your number, or check you transfer status.

How it works:

There's no charge from Verizon to transfer your number.

Your old phone will work during the transfer process, while your new Verizon Wireless phone will be able to make but not receive phone calls.

Wireless numbers usually take 4-24 hours to transfer, while landline numbers can take 2-10 business days.

We'll send you a free text to let you know when you're all set.

If your new phone doesn't work after the transfer time, please call (888)-844-7095 from another phone and the Port Center will help you.
