How long does it take to port a number from "land-line" to T-mobile phone?
I want to port the phone-number of my land-line (currently carried by Comcast Xfinity) to my T-mobile phone (replacing the number the T-mobile phone presently uses). I confirmed on T-Mobile’s website that the number can be ported. How long does this usually take to complete the port? Would I have to get a new sim card? Thanks in advance
ported number not working correctly
I was a TMobile prepaid customer for years. I recently rolled my number over to a standard post-post Essentials plan. I got my temp SIM card, installed it and then called support to get my previous pre-paid number ported over. Everything seemed to work fine EXCEPT when I send text messages to two friends that I know are on Android, my number shows up as the temp SIM number still. (I’m using Google Messages on my phone and/or For Web). All my friends that are on Apple devices it seems to show up as the old, prepaid number that was ported over. Digging into it a little more, I noticed that if in Messages I send my texts as SMS/MMS and not RCS, then my texts go through on the pre-paid number that was ported. But if I leave RCS on, and I text those two Android users, then they receive everything on the temp SIM number still. So it seems to be linked to RCS vs SMS/MMS itself. But I don’t understand why or what to do about it.
Non-compatible numbers to port to T-Mobile
I have 2 numbers trapped in a Verizon account because they are not “compatible” for porting. If I wait long enough will T-Mobile finally get approved to reassign these numbers? I looked up the phone numbers’ area code and prefix and they are owned by US Cellular even though they have been on Verizon for over 5 years. Just hoping to make the switch soon and I can not switch without being able to keep the numbers. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.How to port my old number to T Mobile?
They gave me a temporary number to use and needed my old carrier’s account number and pin. I didn't know it at the moment so I went after work to get it. Do I call T Mobile to proceed to transfer my number to the temporary number? Or can I port my number online somehow?
