Tips for a smooth transition to Verizon Wireless

Here's what you can do:

  • Keep it live - Don't cancel the current service before switching. The number must be active to switch.
  • Leave a paper trail - IMPORTANT
    To make the process easier, please ensure that important information is readily available. Have a copy of your most current bill, and if possible, your contract. Read the contract carefully to learn about any applicable early termination fees and other contractual requirements. We will need your account number in order to quickly process your request.
  • Cover the bases - Have an alternate contact number for emergencies in case the port takes longer than anticipated.
  • Keep records - Write down contact information from your phone before beginning the porting process.
  • Don't delegate - Only the authorized account holder can switch a number. However, the process can take place in a retail store or over your phone.
  • Cut the cord - You can port your landline number to Verizon Wireless.
