Steps To Transfer
Step 1: Gather Your Account Information
To get started, you’ll need to have a few details ready:
- Account Number: Your C Spire account number can be found on your billing statement.
- Port-Out PIN: C Spire doesn’t use a specific PIN for porting. If a PIN is required by your new carrier, use the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Step 2: Make Sure Your Account is Active
Ensure your C Spire account is active before beginning the porting process. Your number can only be transferred if the account is in good standing.
Step 3: Contact Your New Carrier
Once you have your C Spire account details:
- Inform Your New Carrier: Let them know you’re switching from C Spire and want to keep your current number. They’ll ask for your account number and Port-Out PIN (or the last four digits of your Social Security number if needed).
- Check Device Compatibility: If you want to bring your current device with you, confirm that it’s compatible with your new carrier’s network. You may need to unlock your phone if it’s locked to C Spire’s network.
Step 4: Confirm Transfer Details and Timeline
Number transfers usually take 24–48 hours, but it can sometimes take a little longer depending on the carriers involved. Keep your C Spire account active until the transfer is confirmed by your new carrier.
Step 5: Wait for Confirmation
Your new carrier will notify you when the transfer is complete. Once the port is successful, test your phone to ensure that calls, texts, and data are working properly on the new network.
Important Things to Keep in Mind
- Service Disruption: During the transfer process, you may experience a short period without service. It’s a good idea to initiate the port at a convenient time when you won’t need immediate access to your phone.
- Potential Fees: C Spire may charge a small fee to cover the cost of number porting. Confirm any applicable fees with C Spire customer support before starting the process.
By following these steps, you can transfer your number from C Spire to a new carrier easily, keeping your number intact and staying connected.
