Step 1: Reach Out to TextNow Support
To transfer your number, you’ll need your account details. TextNow doesn’t make this available in your app, so here’s what to do:
- Contact TextNow Live Chat Support
- Available daily from 10 AM to 5:30 PM EST.
- Ask them for your Account Number and any additional information you need for porting.
Pro tip: Let the support team know you’re porting your number so they can provide accurate details quickly.
Step 2: Gather Your Information
Once you’ve spoken to TextNow support, ensure you have the following:
- Account Number: Provided by TextNow support during your chat.
- Billing Information: Confirm your name and address to match what’s on file.
- Port-Out PIN: TextNow doesn’t typically require a PIN, but confirm this during your chat to avoid delays.
Step 3: Contact Your New Carrier
Now that you have your porting information, share it with your new carrier (might we suggest US Mobile?). They’ll handle the transfer process for you.
Step 4: Keep Your TextNow Account Active
Don’t cancel your TextNow account until your number has been successfully transferred. Keeping your account active ensures the porting process runs smoothly.
Step 5: Final Confirmation
Once your number is ported, test your new carrier’s service by making calls, sending texts, and using data. If everything works, you’re all set!
