Swapping Numbers Between Two Carriers

AB49 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 07:05:13 GMT

I have two mobile plans. One from Public Mobile and one from Zoomer Wireless. I was wondering if any of you guys know a way through which I can swap my numbers between carriers as I figured there is no easy way.

The reason for this is, based on the needs, my plan with Public Mobile is more suitable for my mom & her plan is suitable for me.

Both the plans are registered under my name.

Its impossible, one of you will lose their plan. porting immediatly cancels a plan so one can keep their number and ge the beificial pln teh otehr loses their number.

This question has ben asked a couple time search teh forum for swaping plans or something similar

Hi,

I don't think it's possible. Since plans are tied up to phone numbers, you will end up losing one of the phone numbers and plans in the process.

Impossible to swap. You can get extra plans from each carrier and do two ports.

You can't swap number once you move any of your number from any account that account will be closed right away
Only option. You have is if you get a new plan with new number lets say 25 dollar text and text plan then you can port your zoomer number on that plan bit you will lose your zoomer plan but you will port your number other then that sorry you won't be able too swap without losing plan and line and of course you will lose 1 number for sure

Can't be swapped number for number, As suggested you would need to start a new number at each carrier and then port each number over. That would mean you lose any promo plans you might be on.

As a suggestion.... why not just text everyone (all contacts) with the number change. you take your moms number and your mom takes your number ? Any straglers , you just tell them the new number. You could even state it in your voicemail announcements. I won't take much to get everyone updated.

Going further into that, if both plans are still available at Zoomer and Public to new customers, two brand new activations could be done. Each number would have to be ported to the new lines at each carrier.

Thanks for filling in the gaps, it is hard to swype a wall of words on the phone. The number swap can end up being very non ideal because when the dust settles, the two existing plans are closed on porting and two new plans with whatever in market deals replaces them.

The question not asked is what plans do you currently have and how much $ are you spending and is the zoomer one contract?

In the end you still will only be able to save one number/plan.
