PORTING A NUMBER

dumbphone — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 23:09:32 GMT

My friend wants to take advantage of the weekend deal... but they have DSL on their home number they wish to port over... the DSL company says they will need a week to send someone out to change to a dry loop.

Is it free to change the number later? In a week ? Porting in their old number after the DSL technician comes to their house?

Can they just choose an available number now and port in later?

@dumbphone, yes it is free to change a number. You can take a new number now and port in your old number later (free).

@dumbphone They can change a phone number for free one time a month. Also, if they port home phone number to PM, it can take up to 7-10 business days to get it done.

Just remember that the number you port must be active. Not sure how dry looping will affect the status of your number

Ensure the landline telco knows they wish to port the landline, and get a dryloop connection. It will become a new account, or telephone number on the dryloop.
