The Porting tag on CellularNews collects practical guides for anyone who needs to transfer a phone number between carriers or cancel a wireless or landline service. This section is designed for customers of major providers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and Cricket, as well as users of smaller networks such as Consumer Cellular, Ultra Mobile, and H2O Wireless. Whether you are switching to a new plan or finally cutting the cord on a landline, these articles walk you through the exact steps required.
The articles here solve two main kinds of problems. The first group helps you locate the critical account details needed to start a transfer, for example, how to find your Consumer Cellular account number or where to locate your Simple Mobile account number. The second group focuses on the actual cancellation and release process, such as how to cancel a line on Xfinity Mobile, how to end T-Mobile service, or how to release a phone number from Verizon. Several guides also cover obtaining a transfer PIN from providers like US Cellular and T-Mobile, which is a common requirement for porting.
Other articles address specific scenarios like keeping your number when moving to a prepaid service, including how to keep your phone number with Straight Talk or how to transfer your number to Google Voice. If you are looking to unlock a number from Verizon or get out of a Verizon phone plan, those steps are covered here as well. Each guide focuses on a single, clear task so you can follow along without confusion.
