Porting Number Question

Doktav

Hello,

I am currently enrolled in a family shared plan with my parents, and I would like to deactivate this add-on line and create my own.

Is it possible to port my number to the new line?  Can I do this online?  I'm planning to shop for the phone online, and not to go to an actual store.

Thanks,

Donny.

I believe it is possible as long as you port the number before you get rid of the line your porting from. I would get the phone I want, get the temporary number( whatever number comes with it), when you set up your new account I would say wait a day, then port the number over from your shared line, to your own new line. Because whatever line you are porting from well be in operable once you port it's number to another account. I just did something similar to this. My contract with sprint was about to be over, so all I needed to do was, wait til I got my phone from verizon, after starting my new contract. It came with it's own number, but when the contract was about to be over, instead of losing my number FOREVER, I could just port it to my new verizon phone. Once you create your verizon account you can port the number by going to Manage My Account and then going to Change My Number.
