I opened a new account to take advantage of a Boxing Day sale (for new accounts only). My existing account is only 3 months old, so there is no big loss of credits if I eventually cancel. The new account now exists and the preferred plan is purchased but not yet activated. It is essential that I keep my old number but I realize that I can't transfer it directly from my old account. I have read various threads on this topic and it appears that one way to do this is by "parking" the number with a third party and transferring/porting it back to PM. I have several questions and would appreciate advice from those who know.
- If I successfully park the number, will PM automatically delete my old account or do I have to turn off the auto pay?
- NumberBarn appears to be the cheapest option to temporarily park a number, i.e. US$5 entry plus US$2 monthly, exit free. Is this correct?
- Are there any risks or issues in parking at NumberBarn and porting back to PM the same day?
If there is any risk in losing my number, I would cut my losses and stay with my old account/plan and cancel the new one.
