Learn about Number Transfer PINs

You’ll need a Number Transfer PIN (and required account info) to transfer your number from AT&T to another service provider.

Heads up:

  • Don’t disconnect your AT&T service before requesting a number transfer with your new service provider. If you do, you’ll have to reactivate your AT&T number before your request can be completed.
  • Using your device with your new service provider? Make sure your device is eligible to unlock and  request the Number Transfer PIN before signing up with them.

Get your Number Transfer PIN

Request your Number Transfer PIN close to the time you’ll submit the transfer request to the new provider. You can use a single Number Transfer PIN for all numbers that are on the same account. The Number Transfer PIN will expire four days after you request it. If you need a new one, you can ask for another by following the same steps.

From your AT&T mobile device

Call *PORT. Follow the prompts to get your Number Transfer PIN sent to you via text. You’ll need your account passcode to generate the Number Transfer Pin when calling *PORT.
