Changing area code

Areacode — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 22:10:59 GMT

Hi, I recently moved to a new community. I want my number to be local to my new community - whenever someone on a landline calls it charges them long distance. I’d like to keep my same number but change to be local to a different area. Is this possible and how do I do it

hi @Areacode you can change number easily

just login My Account, go to Profile page, and you can click on the pencil to the right of the phone number and you can then pick a new number

then just reboot the phone and should be all good

Changing your number is easy, changing your area code and keeping your existing number could be a problem. As the prefix you have may not even be available in the area, as well as different providers have the rights/own different blocks of numbers so I would say it is probably EXTREMELY unlikely that you will be able to change area code but keep the same number.

All phone numbers are permanently assigned to a specific city. While you can perform the type of phone number change that was mentioned, there isn't any way to change the city that a phone number belongs to.
