Step 3: Keep Your Account Active
It’s important to keep your Hello Mobile account active until the porting process is complete. Canceling your account too early might disrupt the transfer and could result in losing your number.
Step 4: Reach Out to Your New Carrier
With your Hello Mobile account number and PIN, contact your new carrier to initiate the porting process. Provide them with the account details and let them know your number has been unlocked for porting.
Step 5: Wait for the Transfer to Complete
Porting your number typically takes 24–48 hours, though it might take longer in some cases. Keep an eye on updates from your new carrier during this time.
Step 6: Test Your New Service
Once the porting process is complete, test your new service by making calls, sending texts, and using data to ensure everything works as expected.
