Transfer Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Gather Your Account Information
You’ll need:
- Account Number: Find this on your NorthwestCell bill or by logging into your online account.
- Password: Contact NorthwestCell customer service at 1-660-582-3334 or 1-800-331-6341 if you don’t remember your password.
Step 2: Check Eligibility
NorthwestCell allows porting only if your number meets their local access and transport area (LATA) restrictions. This means your number must fall within specific local area codes.
Step 3: Keep Your Account Active
Make sure your NorthwestCell account stays active until the porting process is complete. Canceling it too early could result in losing your number.
Step 4: Contact Your New Carrier
Provide your new carrier with your account number and password to initiate the port. They’ll handle the transfer process for you.
Step 5: Wait for the Transfer to Complete
Porting your number usually takes 1–3 business days, depending on the carriers involved. Keep your NorthwestCell account active 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 checking your data.
