I may be setting up an account for my boyfriend soon and I read that when porting a number it may be better to activate with a temporary number and then port the number .
A) Will this really help and how? I assume there would still be a delay in the porting process where I only have partial service when I initiate it until it's done.
B) If I did this and used my number for referral but then he changes his number, will it mess up the referral credit?
Some people have had issues when they tried to activate and port all at once, so the suggestion is to activate the Public Mobile number/SIM card first. Make sure everything is working fine, then port in the number within a few days, or as soon as everything checks out.
The referral is tied to the accounts, so even if he ports in his number from another carrier later on, the referral credits will be fine.
