Can I keep my existing phone number?

Question

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! After all, who wants the hassle of telling EVERYONE your new number? No one, that's who!The process is really simple and we'll do most of the heavy lifting for you. We'll send you a form that gives us permission to request your number from your current provider. With that in hand, we will approach your provider who will take up-to 14 days to release your number to us. During this time your phone service will not be affected and we will keep you posted on the progress.In most cases, you don't have to tell your provider that you wish to leave them; receiving a porting request is usually enough. However, at Phonely we suggest you give them a call for two very good reasons.You will need to maintain your broadband service with your provider and if you do not inform them that you only wish to transfer your telephone service then they may inadvertently cut off your internet connection.Your current provider may issue an admin charge for allowing you to move your number and you may also be in a fixed-term contract with them. It's best to check where you stand so you don't receive an unexpected bill.
