Transfer Guide
Step 1: Gather Your Account Information
To get started, you’ll need some details from EcoMobile:
- Account Number: EcoMobile doesn’t list account numbers in the user portal, so you’ll need to contact customer service to get yours. Just give them a call at 1-855-825-8855.
- Password/PIN: EcoMobile uses a password or PIN for account verification. Contact customer support if you don’t know yours, and they’ll help you set or retrieve it.

Hours: 24/7 customer service
Note: Technical support is available from 8 AM – 11 PM.
Step 2: Keep Your Account Active
It’s crucial to keep your EcoMobile account active throughout the porting process. Canceling your account too early can disrupt the transfer, and you might lose your number. Let your new carrier handle the cancellation once the port is complete.
Step 3: Contact Your New Carrier
Once you have your account number and password/PIN, it’s time to reach out to your new carrier.
- Initiate the Porting Process: Contact your new carrier (like US Mobile!) and inform them that you’d like to port your number from EcoMobile. They’ll take it from there and guide you through any additional steps.
- Consider US Mobile: If you’re looking for a flexible, affordable option with excellent customer support, US Mobile might be a great choice. They offer customizable plans on multiple major networks, giving you coverage options and flexibility you’ll love.
Step 4: Wait for the Transfer to Complete
Porting your number usually takes 24–48 hours, though it can vary depending on the carriers involved. Keep your EcoMobile account active until your new carrier confirms the transfer is complete.
Step 5: Test Your New Service
Once the porting process is done, make sure to test your phone to ensure everything is working—calls, texts, and data should be good to go with your new carrier.
Why Consider US Mobile?
If you’re looking for a carrier with flexible plans, reliable coverage, and great customer support, US Mobile could be the perfect fit. With customizable plans on major networks, US Mobile ensures you get a plan tailored to your needs without overpaying for features you don’t use.
Switching carriers doesn’t have to be a hassle. Follow these steps, and you’ll be all set to move your number from EcoMobile to your new carrier. Happy switching!
