Port a Phone Number

Porting is the process of transferring a phone number from one provider to another. This lets customers select the provider of their choice, without the worry of needing to change phone numbers.

Usually, the process of porting numbers from one wireless carrier to another can take a few hours to a few days. In most instances, you can keep using your phone number with your current provider until the porting process is fully completed.

Most phone numbers are eligible to be transferred. Contact us and we’ll be glad to assist you further with understanding your eligibility and options for transferring your service.

A new service provider will usually require:

• the mobile phone number(s) you wish to transfer
• the zip code of your current account
• name on the account
• account number
• your Transfer PIN

Contact us and we’ll be glad to assist you further with understanding your options and information needed for transferring your service.

A Transfer PIN is a unique code that authorizes you to move your UScellular line(s) of service to a different carrier (also known as porting out). The Transfer PIN is valid for a brief period of time and is required to complete this transfer.

You can get a Transfer PIN by contacting Customer Service. Contact us or visit us in-store.
