Moving can I transfer my number

I'm moving soon. My current number is being used for my consulting business. The new location is in a different area code so I know I can't transfer the number, but I was wondering if I can continue to pay for the current number and have any calls to it forwarded to my new number.
I think I could do this in a round about way if I were to sign up and transfer this number to vonage, but was wondering if Verizon could offer the same service.

Contact your local business office (phone number is on your phone bill) and ask about having a feature/service called "Remote Call Forwarding" added to you current/old phone number. All calls originally destined for you current/old phone number will be redirected to you new number --even though the old phone line has been disconnected. With this arrangement YOU will be billed for all charges for all calls forwarded. (Sort of like establishing an 800 number for your customers, except that your customers continue to simply dial the number they have always used.
Alternatively, if you simply disconnect your current/old phone number you should be presented with the choice to have calls to your old number intercepted and the recording will announce your new number, so that your customer can hang up and re-dial the new number --in this case your customer(s) will pay the charges associated with calling the new number. You should also be presented with the option of having the intercept recording offer to automatically connect the caller to the new number --again for an additional charge in addition to the charges associated with calling the new number.
Note that "Remote Call Forwarding" is a feature that will remain active for your number until/unless you cancel it. The intercept announcement/connect arrangement will be automatically removed from your old number after several months, based on the demand for new telephone service (and numbers) in your area; or if the number of calls to the old number drops in volume.

How can I transfer my number onto an AT&T phone?

Can I transfer my number from an ee micro sim to an ee nano sim

I've bought an iPhone 5 and was currently using an iPhone 4 previously. Is it possible to transfer my number from my micro sim to the nano sim and can I do it at home or do I have to go into a shop.

Hi , If it's the same contract etc, the SIM should be fine. Have you got both a micro and nano SIM? Here's a handy online guide if you're wanting to turn your micro SIM into a nano one. Alternatively, you can order a new SIM from EE. Cheers,

Can't transfer phone number!!!

I'm currently a sprint customer and I'm trying to transfer my number to AT&T in the initial stage of setting up my iphone and I get the message:
"the phone number you entered cannot be transfered. You must uncheck the transfer number option and clear the information in the text fields to continue"
I've done it 20 times now and checked my account number etc. more than a few times....
Whats up?
Windows XP

AT&T will say you cannot transfer your phone number if your old phone number is in a different service area than your current location/billing address. HOWEVER, there is a workaround.
On the first screen of the activation step, you'll need to enter your old billing zip (i.e. a zip code that matches the area code of your current phone number). Later in the process you'll be able to enter your correct billing address.

Transfer VOIP Number to SKYPE

I currently have a VOIP number with BT in UK. Can I transfer this number to be used in Skype?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, Claywd,
Skype Number
Instead of porting a number into Skype, start a Skype Number subscription.
Anticipating your next question, a few caveats to be aware of so you can make an informed decision: while you can take out up to ten (10) Skype Number subscriptions per Skype account, call forwarding and voice mail function for the Skype account itself, not each individual Skype Number. What people tend to do who require a facility to separate voice mail and call forwarding for each Skype Number is to start a new Skype account for each Skype Number they need. The FAQ articles related to Skype Numbers remind us that Skype Numbers can not accept incoming SMS messages; these are routed to a mobile phone number instead.
There may be other Skype-compatible add-ons as noted in the post, above, however I confess I have not researched anything like this lately.
Regards,
Elaine

Can I buy out my contract to transfer phone number to company account?

Hello,
Currently I have a droid phone under contract with Verizon, and I am eligible for an upgrade in June, 2015, but can buy out of the contract for $180. I also am going to get a company phone for my job, but it is required that this be the iphone 6 and it can be either with Verizon or AT&T service. Ideally I would like to just transfer my number to my company account and use the iphone full time, but unfortunately it's not that simple.
Here are the options I've been informed I have:
1) Have the company take over my account for no cost, but the company would have to pay $649 for a new iphone since I'm not eligible for an upgrade, and I'm not sure I can get this added cost approved.
2) Get a separate company phone number and iphone that the company will buy for me (I think it will cost them $200). Not ideal because I would either lose my phone number or I would have to keep paying for my phone and carry 2 phones around.
Here's the option I want, but nobody can confirm it is possible:
3) I buy out my old contract for $180, then transfer the phone number to my company phone where I would get a new contract and a new iphone. I'd be fine paying the $180 out of my pocket since I'd make that up in savings in 3 months. I was on hold with customer service while 2 service people were debating whether or not this was possible, but after 15 minutes of dead air I had to leave to attend a work meeting, so I don't know if it's possible.
Here's the option I don't want to but may be forced to do:
4) Start a new contract with AT&T through my company and have my number ported over. I would then pay the $180 to Verizon to get me out of my obligation.
In case anyone has actually taken the time to read all this, here are my questions:
- Is Option #3 actually possible? Has anyone done it?
- Is Option #4 possible? If it is possible, wouldn't Verizon just prefer I do option #3.
- Are there any other options I'm not considering?
Thanks for any input you can give

Hello Kinquana,
Yes, I'm available for Early Edge upgrade, but from what I can tell it doesn't really offer my company any savings versus them just buying the iphone up front at full price, and it probably just creates complications for the IT department. Either way, it's an additional cost that I would have to get approved.
So it sounds like my best option is to just move my number to AT&T and cancel my verizon account? Seems like you would not want that to happen.
I do not have any issues with my current phone, but my company requires that I get an iphone due to compatibility with email and security.
Thanks for the quick response

My phone and number is on another persons account. If I start my own account, can I transfer the phone and number to it? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?

My phone and phone number are on another persons account. If I open my own account with Verizon, can I transfer the phone and number to it? What steps do I need to take to accomplish this?

I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

Can I just transfer my number?

I've wanted an iPhone since before I even had my iPod Touch, but I don't want to pay for a data plan. I'm not going to use it-I'll use wifi whenever I need internet if I can connect. I know Verizon Wireless wont sell one to you without upgrading your plan, but what if I get it somewhere besides the Verizon store?
So, my question is: If buy an iPhone from Amazon or where ever, can I simply transfer my number from my current cellphone (Samsung Bright-side on Verizon) over to an iPhone without a data plan? Will that work? Will it not work until I do get a plan or something?

When you attempt to activate the phone on Verizon, they will see it is an iPhone and will require you to add a data plan. No way around it.

Can I transfer my skype number to my cell phone

I have very nice number , so is it possible to transfer my number to my celluler phone?

Did this ever happen? I would like to transfer a cell number that I don't use anymore to skype for the next year in case I miss any calls it should capture them during the transition.
No, you cannot transfer a number (landline or mobile phone) to Skype. Skype does not participate in number-portability programs, so you would have to select a number from whatever Skype has available for the country and area/city code you desire.

I am waiting for a new iMac with two drives: SSD conventional hard drive. How can I transfer only a certain number of applications to the SSD and the rest to the physical hard disk drive?

I am expecting a new iMac (i7 with SSD). How can I transfer only certain applications along with the system, library etc. to this limited (space) HD and other applications to the conventional disk HD in order to save space on the SSD?
Thank you,
Gilles

I have the same scenario, using an SSD for my start-up drive. I have copied my Applications folder to a mechanical hard drive and created symbolic link to it. The symbolic link resides on the SSD and works properly.
That may not be the best solution. Many updaters expect apps, especially Apple apps, to be in the /Applications folder on the OSX drive; if there are updates, the apps may not be found, thus may not be updated. I don't know if the installers/updaters will follow a symbolic link or not.
DItto some apps, especially Adobe apps, won't even work if they're anywhere else. Again, I don't know if they'll follow a symbolic link, either.

Can you transfer an Kindle e-book from a computer to the ellipsis and will it work after transfer?

I have purchased an e-book from Amazon and it downloaded to my computer. Is there a way to move e-books between these two devices?
If it can be moved can one still read the book on the new device or on both of them?

Amazon allows Kindle books on multiple devices. The number of devices allowed may vary depending on the book, however I believe for most books it is up to 5 devices.
You don't really transfer books from one device to another. You simply go to the Kindle store on the device you would like to read the book, look at your Kindle library on that device. If you have already purchased the book on your account, it will be listed in your available books. Simply click on the book and it will start downloading. If you already have the book on your limit of devices it will inform you of that fact. You can simply go to one of your other devices and delete the book from it and then download it on your new device. If you ONLY have the book on your computer and want to download it to a Kindle e-reader, you should have no problem with it being on too many devices, though.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.
 Cheers, Tom
