So, how do I transfer my Mint number to another carrier?

Transferring your Mint Mobile number to a new carrier is straightforward and can be completed in just a few steps. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Check Eligibility

Ensure your Mint Mobile number is eligible for porting. All active mobile numbers should be eligible, but it’s a good idea to verify this beforehand.

Step 2: Gather Necessary Information

You’ll need the following details from your Mint Mobile account to initiate the port:

• Account Owner’s Name
• Address: The address found on your current bill.
• Account Number: You can find this in the top right corner of your bill or in your online account portal.
• Password or PIN: This is the security PIN associated with your Mint Mobile account. To obtain your port-out PIN from Mint, you must contact their support via chat or by calling in at (800) 683-7392.
  • Note on your Number Transfer PIN Your number transfer PIN is created by Mint at your request. It is not your current security PIN on your account or the security code used to access your phone.

Step 3: Obtain Your Number Transfer PIN

Once they share that over based on the steps above, you’re ready to start transferring.

Step 4: Choose Your New Carrier

Select US Mobile as your new carrier and proceed to their website or app to start setting up your new plan.

Step 5: Provide Information and Documentation

During the setup process, you’ll be asked if you want to bring over your current phone number. You’ll need to provide the information gathered in Step 2. This includes your current phone number, your current carrier, your carrier account number, and lastly your number transfer pin.

Step 6: Porting Date and Time

The porting of a number can generally take around 24-48 hours, depending on how cooperative your previous carrier is. In certain instances, it can be longer for VoIP or landline numbers, which can take up to 7-10 business days. This is because it’s up to your previous carrier (in this case, Mint) to release your number. While they are required to release it, we can’t confirm the amount of time it takes them to do so.

Step 7: Await Confirmation

Once you’ve provided all the necessary information and continued through the activation flow, keep an eye on your inbox.

Step 8: Enjoy Your New Service

Once the porting process is complete, you’ll be able to enjoy your new carrier with your existing phone number. You did it!
