Porting an existing number

Would like a skype number, but want to port or use a number I already have. I will of course cancel current service and transfer to skype.
Is it possible?
Thanks,
John

I kept looking through the learn tab, and found the answer. NO, one cannot use an existing number.

Upgrade and port existing number?

I want to "upgrade" my smartphone to a messaging phone. The dumb phone costs more than my ETF, so according to my Verizon, getting the dumb phone puts me on month to month service. OK. Now can I then switch the phone to pay as you go? and can I then port my existing number to a pay as go service plan?
Thanks

Thanks, SuzyQ, for your reply.
Hello sulla,
I would love to assist with your wireless concerns but do need some clarification. Are you currently under contract with a Smartphone on your line and attempting to upgrade to a basic phone? If so, are you purchasing the basic phone at full retail price or are you upgrading at a discounted price, renewing your agreement?
If your mobile number is portable and you’re switching from a postpaid account to a prepaid account this can be done in a direct Verizon Wireless retail location. If your line is under contract when the change is done you will be charge an early termination fee.

How can I port an existing Tomcat (JSP) application in SAP Netweaver 2004s

Hi All,
I want to port an existing JSP application (using Tomcat as Web server) in SAP Web AS 6.40.
Please any one suggest me.
Eagerly looking forward to your reply......

Hi,
The maximum number of work processes depends on several things like the below.
1) Majorly on Your primary Memory
2) Hardware capacity
3) Operating systems
4) SAP version as well...
You need to calculate the work processes with your primary memory.
Every work process should take 150 mb space on memory.. so you need to increase the work processes that should be campatible with your primary memory.
And please read the OSS notes as suggested by our frnds then go ahead with your rquirement.

Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline.

Hi, need help on resolving this issue with Verizon. Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 12 days ago. HD Prime, 15/5 internet and Digital Voice landline. I switched from TimeWarner cable. I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and tried to use my current house telephone number when signing up. Next day I get a call from a Verizon rep telling me my order was lost even thou I had a confirmation number and that I would have to redo my online sign up.
I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had with TimeWarner and port it over to Verizon. What I did to save my old house phone number was I ported my TimeWarner house telephone number over to an activated cellular Tracfone that I own. So I resigned up online and selected a new telephone number and the order went thru and I had my FIOS installed at my house.
What I have learned from talking with Verizon billing, is because my old telephone number that I had with TimeWarner had been originally given to me by Verizon many years back and then it was ported over to TimeWarner from Verizon that Verizon now won't port the old number back over to my house landline because they have already ported it out once years ago for me.
One suggested I create a new account, don't know it this can be done or not. I got a really good price on the FIOS Triple Play bundle I had installed and don't want to loose the great Verizon FIOS price deal I have.
Really frustrated at this point, being told before installation that I could keep my old phone number, spending a lot of time on the phone and then being told I can't do it after installation is completed.
Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number I have on my Tracfone now to my Verizon FIOS landline? I was told by a Verizon rep that it can't be done and they won't do it since the telephone number is my old Verizon phone number from many years ago that they ported out they won't port in back it now. Wow, talk about a "Can't do" attitude.
Any and all constructive input is welcomed. Thanks for reading this.

I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

You'll need to do an Assumption of Liability. The parent that is the account owner and your boyfriend will both have to be at the store to do this. Your line is actually your parents and it will be your fiancee's once the change is made. But you should be able to get your upgrade and you definitely get to keep your number. Also depending on your fiancee's credit history there may be a security deposit required.

I need your assistance? Verizon won't port old phone number over to my new FIOS

Need your help on resolving this issue with Verizon.  I switched from COX cable. Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 3 days ago. I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and selected a new telephone number because I was told online that my old number cannot be ported over to new FIOS.
Earlier today, I was contacting my friends for a new phone number and learned from them that it is violation of FCC regulation that the Verizon FIOS could not port my old number. They said that the Verizon should be able to port my old number... In my realization, I contacted Verizon customer service, but the rep said that the Verizon FIOS cannot do it because the installation is completed.
I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had years originally with Verizon and then Cox.
Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number to my Verizon FIOS? Again, I was told by a Verizon rep or online during the sign up process that it can't be done and/or they won't do it.

Re: Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline

I have been trying for six months to get my old copper wire phone number ported into FIOS, and have heard nothing but excuses and failure. I am paying two bills, one for FIOS and one for the copper wire line. In a thread earlier this year titled "Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline", a user reported success in getting his old telephone number ported in to FIOS after filing a complaint with the FCC. Do I need to file a complaint with the FCC in order to get some action on this request?

PA04-How to make existing Number Range/interval external.

Question: PA04-How to make existing Number Range/interval external.
One of the Pernr Number ranges/interval in PA04 is Internal(box is
unchecked) and i want to make it "External" (check the box) to load some data.
Issue: The issue is, the check box is Greyed out and i can not check it. But i have access to
everything else in PA04:
- create and delete number ranges
- change the "Current number"
- Uncheck the box to make the External to Internal.
But i can not Check the box to make it External from Internal due to the greyed
out box for this number range.
The only solution i can think of about it is to - Delete the number range
and add it again and check the box when doing that. And once the Data load is done Uncheck the box.
Is there a better option..?

Once you have made your decision to define a number range as 'internal' it is not possible to reverse this. check this http://scn.sap.com/thread/1976017

Transfering existing number to existing family plan

I have my own personal Verizon account and my family said they would add me to their AT&T family plan when I got an iPhone.
I want to transfer my verizon number to the iPhone, which I know is possibel through itunes.
But does the online iTunes activation allow for you to transfer an existing number with Verizon to an existing AT&T account?
I hope so, as the family member with the AT&T account lives in another state. So hopefully it doesn't involve anyone having to physically go into the store.
But if it does require a visit to an AT&T store, do they need the actually iPhone with them? Hopefully not, as I'd have the actual phone being activated.
Any answers is appreciated. Thanks.

Be advised that ATT may not let you add an out of state number to a family plan in another state. For example, if you have a NY number and you are trying to add the number to an account that is based in Atlanta, ATT will not let you do that because, according to them the markets are different.
To be on the safe side, you can call and inquire but I'm pretty sure they will tell you the same thing.

Problems after porting Call Sign number.

We have today ported our Callsign number from BT to a VOIP provider as we are moving.
The ported number works fine
Our main number is now not working. All I get from "Inidian Telecom" is the network is working correctly & everything is fine. We can send an engineer but may need to charge!
I get a dial tone, the problem is when we try & dial out or dial in we get nothing but a bleeping.
Talking to the call center is like talking to a scripted brick wall.

MartyUK wrote:
Correct it isn't my number.
That would be great but we are not moving until the 12th of March and it seems BT have screwed up.
We are not taking the current number with us as we are moving 100 miles away.
I'm glad the broadband is still working
Anyway I can get the number reconnected until the 12th March?
I would not rely on the broadband to keep working, as if there is a cease order for it, then that will go as well.
The change of number to the "stopped line" would have been done automatically, as you are not taking the number with you.
As for the possibility of getting it re-instated, you would have to ask one of the BT Care Team to take a look on the system, to see what has happened.
If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.

1.     I have realized the Message thing, Will rectify it.
2.     I have also changed the Directory extends TelNumber
3.     I did not have an equals method in TelNumber but the problem has not gone away. Set mySet which I have defined as (directory.set) adds existing numbers. Yet it realises that the directory is full!
I defined set in TelNumber as a HashSet()
Doesn?t the HasfSet() guarantee that duplicates will not be added????????????????????????
I have a feeling it could my boolean values!
Am grateful for your help.
Thanks again

Permission to Port an existing Skype number over t...

Hi All,
I would like to port our Skype 0203 number over to our new office telephone DDI.
Our new supplier says we need permission from Skype to do this, please advise who I need to contact and how I can get this done ??
Existing Skype Number : 0203 2*****
New DDI Number to Port to : 0203 7******
[Numbers redacted for privacy.]
"We need an LOA from the current provider advising that they are happy to port the number, the customer can get this from Skype and then we can advise of lead times etc."
thanks,
Lloyd

Hi, lloydgprice, and welcome to the Community,
It is my understanding that the receiving carrier does all of the transition work in the background. I have requested clarification on this, and will post back with information when I have news to share.

How do I keep my existing number when signing up with Fios phone??

I do not currently have a Verizon land line. I'm considering signing up for 3play bundle but it doesn't appear to let me keep my existing phone number. Does anyone have ideas on how I can do this? Anyone know if verizon offer a means to do this? Otherwise I probably won't purchase anything, the 2 service bundle costs too much to switch if I have to keep my current landline service as well.

its called "porting your number"
Call the sales guys at 1 800 VERIZON and advise them of what you want.. they will be more than happy to sign you up and make a commision

Port straight talk number to Verizon regular account phone?

I have a Straight Talk android and want to port the number to an existing Verizon single line account (regular monthly plan). Is this possible?

Well, it is done!
And it went VERY smoothly! I was even talking on the Straight Talk phone and the VZW rep walked me thru the transfer automated line, then she called the port people and had them PUSH it through since I was on the line. She said that we can hang up, wait till you get the confirmation text and do a *228 option 1.
Well I waited about 10 minutes, then had not seen a text. I went ahead and dialed it and did the programming, and BOOM! My number is ported!
VERY happy!

Transfer Existing Number between accounts, with out the penalty of a New 1 or 2 year agrement..

I currently have 4 Cell Phones on my Personal Verizon Account and have been with Verizon for longer than I can remember. None of my lines are under any type of Time restrictive agreement (i.e. One or Two Year). The company I work for uses Verizon as well and said they will pay for on of my lines, if I transfer it to their Business Account. I was told by a Verizon Representative that because all of my contracts/agreements are more than 13 months old that when the day comes to transfer my phone number back to my Personal Verizon Account I "Will Not" be forced into a new 1 or 2 year agreement. (i.e. Existing Personal VZ Number, with no pending agreements, transferred to a Business Account and when transferred back I will not be forced into a New early termination agreement...) Is this correct?

This is a personal observation. I would not transfer the line (number) to your company. First reason once transferred to them the line now becomes the companies property.
Usually a company will issue a line of service and device if they require you to have one for work use.
Secondly, the company will have total access to your calling, texting and internet history. Not good.
Third, transferring the number back to you at a later date may not be possible. You would be doing an assumption of liability on the line even though you previously owned the line. Credit check and possibly a security deposit. And your plan or service may be impacted in ways I am not thinking of.
When I was in charge of adding users to our account we opened the line and number and had total control of the billing and use of the line.
A few employees would use their own cells and submitted the copy of their invoices with work calls highlighted. This was also a nightmare especially not really knowing if the calls were business or personal. We forbade the practice.
Good Luck
