How to port phone number from verizon?

I have signed up with a different carrier.  I have/had a pre-paid monthly plan with verizon. I want to port my phone number and close my account. But somehow I can not reach anyone live on the phone to do so. There is no webpage place for this either.
thank you

You need the carrier to imitate the port. You can't call Verizon and have it done.

  • Verizon system can't handle porting phone number from Straight Talk customers?

    According to this discussion: Verizon system can't handle porting phone number from Straight Talk customers?  If still true, then VW misses a huge business opportunity. Adjusting the sizing the account number to be wider is not a hard system adjustment task and have almost zero system ripple-effect impact (I am in IT works).
    http://www.prepaidreviews.com/straighttalk.html
    "Straight Talk makes it impossible to port an existing cell phone number from their operation to a competitor such as Verizon. To port my cell phone number I was told by Verizon to provide my ST account number. It was not listed on any account documents. After 45 minutes on hold, ST customer service told me it was the cell phone serial number. But that number was too long to insert into Verizon's system. After another hour long wait, ST directly told a Verizon rep that was the only account number. As a result, I had to abandon the cell phone number that I have had for nearly 10 years and get a new one. I will not be doing any business with ST in the future."

    Ah ha!  Okay, so I just need to be more patient in other words.    I'm just glad nothing is wrong.
    I did use the "erase all data and settings" option on the iPhone 6 menu because I wanted to go through the setup myself.  I hope that didn't mess anything up.
    Thank you!!

  • How to port a number from a Family Share plan?

    This is my situation.  I am the Account Owner on a Family Share plan with 2 lines. My husband is an Account Manager.  I know I need to do an Assumption of Liability to make my husband the Account Owner and he will be able to keep his number and change his plan.  I believe my number would then be a 2nd line on his account.  I then want to port my number to an MVNO Prepaid service.  Can I do this and keep my number and not affect my husbands service with Verizon?  We have had our numbers for years and do not want to lose them.  Our contract date is ending in 3 weeks and I will be waiting until we are month to month before porting out my number.

    Nope makes no difference. He will tell Verizon Wireless he wants the account and the will pay the monthly charges. You then tell Verizon its OK to give the account and line etc. to him.
    In certain cases when the run the credit check on the other person there may be a deposit required to have that service transferred.
    Good Luck

  • Please Help! Straight Talk Ported My Number From Verizon

    I switched from Straight Talk to Verizon last month and had my numbers ported, everything was working fine until a few days ago.  Now, I am going on day three of not having service. I stopped in at the Verizon store and found out that this is a known issue. Apparently, those of us whom had our numbers ported from Straight Talk recently to Verizon had our numbers ported back to Straight Talk.  Somehow Straight Talk did this without our permission. 
    Our accounts are gone and we can't even access My Verizon for help as we are no longer have Verizon accounts. I was told by the store staff that the issue is being addressed; however, can you give me a time frame?   I am a first responder and need a phone for emergency activation and response.    I've sent multiple twitter and facebook messages with no response. 
    I'm worried that I'll lose the number I've had for 15 years and everything is linked to.
    This NEEDS to be resolved ASAP!   As you violated my contract, I may just take my new phones to a more reliable provider. 
    Thanks!

        I'm sorry to learn of the issues outlined in your post outbounddan! Sounds like your phones were ported out to your previous carrier. Please be assured that we would not be able to port those numbers out to any other carrier. The process must be initiated by the other carrier with your authorization. We can certainly start the port-in process to get your numbers back to us if you visit this link http://bit.ly/qDhvBY

  • How do I port a number from Sprint?

    I just signed up for Verizon yesterday with an individual line, and need to port my number from Sprint (also an individual line). What number do I need to call?

    Good morning tommaxwell,
         Welcome to our happy wireless family! We LOVE welcoming new members to Verizon! Since a cell phone is one of few things that we keep within reach at all times, I can certainly understand the benefits of keeping your current number! Some of these benefits are:
    • No new number to remember
    • No need to contacts friends, family member, and associates for a contact update.
    • No unnecessary expense of printing new business cards and other stationeries.
         May I ask have you started the port process yet? If not then it will be my pleasure to assist! First, I would like to provide a link to some frequently asked questions, http://bit.ly/qDhvBY. Once you are ready to start the process then you can send me a direct message with your full name, contact number, and a brief summary of the task at hand. I took the liberty of following you and it is pending your approval. I look forward to hearing from you my friend!
    Thank you…

  • How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

    Hi all
    I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
    I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
    receive it until i am back on wifi.
    What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
    My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
    On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
    One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    thanks, Andy

    Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
    You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

  • How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

    How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
    But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
    If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
    When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
    If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

    You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
    But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
    To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

  • TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this?  i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

    How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory?  I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

    You would have to restore as new.

  • How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??

    How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??
    Is it do-able??
    I have a contact form that has the contacts phone number, etc... I would like to add a button to dial the number which would open the phone line (probably through my modem) and dial the number ... where I would pickup the receiver and wait for connection...
    I need an example or a "How to" link or something where if I take the time I can get it working....
    IF not, is there software to do it?
    Thanks, Bill

    Yes, great! I will check into my modem... but I remember years ago have a c program that I used to send error messages through the modem to my alpha-numeric pager. With that I started with that c program being called from REXX IBM language and it spoke modem language...
    Is there another forum that would handle this type of request? what do you call telephone support? telephony? communication links? ....
    Thanks for the input!

  • Nokia 7230 - How to insert a phone number from Con...

    I know this is an issue with some other models, but HOW do I insert a phone number from my contacts into a text message?
    -If I go to Phonebook and "copy" number, then I try to paste it into my message, I get an answer that there is nothing to paste.
    -I cannot open the phonebook while I am in the texting window, there is no option, in old models one had "insert telephone number", with 7230 I can only  insert a smile or special character.
    -I DO NOT WANT to send a MMS with visiting card, just plain sms with a number taken from my contacts.
    Thanks to whoever can help!
    Mod

    Hi modjadii,
    The compact UI style used in 7230 does not allow copying phone number to text message the same way as in some previous models but please try this as a solution.
    Write a text message and when you need to insert phone number from your contacts select Options - More - Exit editor (or just press End key to return to idle screen). The text you have already written stays at the text editor and is visible once the editor is opened again.
    Open your contacts by choosing Names and select Options - More - Business card - Via text message and search the contact whose number you want to copy. After selecting the contact you'll get the phone number to screen and you can select Options - Editing options - Copy all.
    Now the number is copied for pasting and you can open the text message editor again and select Options - More - Modify text - Paste.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

    How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

    You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone.  To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage.  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.
