Phone number transfer

I recently just purchased a SIM card for my iPhone and requested to have my old number switched over, I got an email saying there's more I need to do before they can transfer it. How can I figure out what to do?

Ringtone format & Contact phone number transfer from another phone

Two questions for one of the experts.
What format are Iphone ringtones? Can you use songs previously purchased and converted to the proper format be used as a ring tone and how would someone perform this action.
Is it possible to "bluetooth" phone number from old cell phone to the Iphone?

What format are Iphone ringtones? Can you use songs previously purchased and converted to the proper format be used as a ring tone and how would someone perform this action.
M4r - which is MP4 and no - not without a hack.
Is it possible to "bluetooth" phone number from old cell phone to the Iphone?
No - the iPhone does not support Bluetooth data transfer. All data syncing is done with a USB connection with your computer via iTunes.

CDMA phone number transfer questions

I have a Verizon CDMA Iphone4 supplied by my company. They just sent me a new iphone5. I noticed it has a sim card slot. How do I transfer my phone number that was ringing to the iphone4 over to the iphone5? The phone is on the company plan with Verizon. I have restored all other features of the phone from a backup of my old phone.

If the phone and the number are owned and paid for by the company, then Verizon will only talk to the people who have been authorized on the account. As Ralph suggests, you'll need to go through whoever handles these this contact with Verizon as only they can authorize Verizon to change the number from one phone to another.

Cannot Get a Straight Answer About Phone number transfer

I signed up for FIOS, and I requested that the assigned number be changed to a number that was presented to me but I didn't select (system locked up and next time I went to enroll it didn't present me with the same numbers).
My installer notified Verizon of the number request I made (which was still unassigned). I have emailed, called, and spoke with a supervisor at Verizon and none of them have verified that the order is even in place. They say that they "can't see it in the system" and it could take 30 days.
If the "phone company" can't see it in the system who's minding the store?!
If anyone knows what to do please help!
TIA

Phone Number Transfer works strangely

I just opened up an account and got a new number. When I did this I transferred my wife's pre-paid T-Mobile number to my plan. So both of us are now on Verizon, on the same plan. When she calls my number it works fine, but when I call her number, it goes to her T-Mobile phone. I've since removed the T-Mobile SIM card and turn off that phone, but calling her number goes straight to voicemail (implying that it's still calling the T-Mobile number). What should I do?
Thanks

snotyak,
I would first like to welcome you to the VZW family! We want to make sure your wife is able to make and receive calls on her new phone. What make/model device does she have? Is your wife able to place call, text, and use data on her phone? If your wifi has a 4G device, please try powering her new phone off and on and then test to see if you can call her. If she has a 3G or basic phone dial *228 option 1 then test calling her again.

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

How long does it take for Orange to transfer my phone number contract to payg

I have been with Orange on contract since 2000, and decided to leave.I let Orange know in advance of my contract expiry on 22/6/15.They said I could not have a payg sim so far in advance.I rang two weeks before the contract expiry and they said they would send me a payg sim.They sent it to an address which I have never lived at, and which has never appeared on my bill.I went on holiday.When I came back the new sim had not arrived so I phoned Orange. They said we have sent it to an address in Bedfordshire which you have never lived at. Never mind we’ll send you another payg sim to your home.By now we are nearly a month after my contract expired.I have received the payg sim and the mobile number attached, I managed to get the temp number topped up and requested they transfer my number on Weds 22/7/15.By today Monday I have lost five days of business and my old number has not been transferred. I rang them twice on 23rd July, and again twice on 24th often to find out that they charge me 25p to get a message saying they are not open, so that’s £1 so far. And again with 20 minutes holding listening to music at lunchtime totals £1.25.Over the weekend make that £11 (had to top up).The phone number &*()_ i want to keep is now dead and has stopped taking voicemails.I need this number as it is on all my business cards and website.When you do finally get the number working on payg, I will then get Orange to supply a pac code and move to a different provider.One of the many departments I spoke to yesterday on your 25p line said I should give you a month to get out of the contract. I said I am on payg and I will go when I like!This abysmal level of service for 15 years is why I am leaving orange.The people on the 25p line also have a very poor understanding of English and are more interested in parroting that EE is a great service provider with a good network or some such nonsense.I hope they get my number working so that I can get off Orange network. at the time of writing 5 days and counting so far to transfer a number. At various stages the customer service line have said that I have never been with orange, (after 15 years of once a month bills), they have laughed and said no managers are here at weekends and put the phone down on me. They have given me a manager to speak to, who has given me an incorrect pac code to go to another network. The manager has not been contactable since. And every time I ring they say you must give it another 24 hours or 48 hours

Hi ,
I'm very sorry to hear of the problems you have had moving to pay as you go.
Please can you give customer service a call and ask to speak to the pay monthly retentions team who will be able to fix this issue for you.

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 current phone number to skype

Is it possible to transfer my current phone number to Skype? It is a danish phone number.

No, you won't be able to transfer a number to Skype. Skype does not participate in number-portability schemes, so you would have to select a Danish number from what Skype has available.

How can I get phone number contacts to transfer?

I read the user guide, backed up my phone list numbers from my old phone, but found that directions to transfer the phone numbers did not work on my iphone 4. Grrrrr! What I read in the instructions does not match what I see on the screen. Also, Apple's use of the word "contacts" is used to apply to both email addresses (which did transfer easily) and phone number contacts (which did not). This can be confusing.
Has anyone transferred a phone list from their previous "dumb" phone (backup assistant enabled) to an iphone4 (not backup assistant friendly).

Hey Susanne,
I'm very sorry to hear about your lack-of-success from the Backup Assistance feature that Verizon Wireless offers. I've also had a horrible experiences with that feature on the iPhone 4 and it just seems to make it a regret of getting a new phone, haha!
Just to ensure not a further headache, have you checked online to make sure all of your contacts are successfully stored on the Backup Assistance?

Transfer my old phone number (from Vonage) to my n...

Disgruntled with the sound quality of Vonage, I revitalized my old Skype account and set it up with a FreeTalk (which, by the way, works great straight out of the box).
My old phone number is still with Vonage collecting dust, but it it the one listed in all kinds of phone books and friends telephone notepads, so it would have value to me if I can retrieve this and link to my Freetalk account.
Problem: Vonage does not list a phone number where I can talk to someone to get my old number back (which they retrieved from Verizon). Skype does not list a phone number to assist me in this. Go figure, the people who make money on selling phone talk don't want to talk over the phone themselves.
Does anybody have suggestions on how to handle this?

Hi, dandurham, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, I have sad news: as Skype does not support number portability, this is not possible.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Transfer Existing Phone Number To Skype Online Num...

Can an existing landline or mobile service number be transferred to Skype as my Skype Online number?

It probably depends on which country you are based, though normally you cannot port a phone number to Skype. There are USA companies which, for a monthly fee circa $10, allow you to park your landline number with them and they will foward calls to Skype.
