What about your phone number?
Transfer your existing number
To switch your lines to T-Mobile, you’ll need to have the following information from your current carrier:
- Phone numbers
- Account number (often located on your bill or online account)
- Account PIN (often used to verify your account)
- Personal accounts may require a Number Transfer PIN
- Some carriers offer ‘porting protection’ which restricts carrier transfers. Contact your carrier for information on this service and how to remove any restrictions.
Need a new number?
- If you’re not switching your numbers from another carrier, your new devices are active out of the box, which includes SIM cards that were ordered for a new line of service.
- Upon activation we’ll send you an Activation Confirmation email containing all the details you’ll need.
