PORTING A NUMBER

[dumbphone]

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?

It's easy when you find the way,

1. After you log in on MY account

2. Click on Plan and Add-Ons (After Overview, My profile, Payment)

3. You will see Change Your Number on the second from your right hand side

4. Fill out some qusetions, then Phone number change successful

Hope you find the way 🙂

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.

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

@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.

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

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