This request gets sent to your current or old carrier, like NumberBarn. Curious about each step? Check out our straightforward guide on moving your number:

Easy Tips for a Hassle-Free Move to Boost Mobile
Looking to bring your number to Boost Mobile? Fantastic choice! Here are some straightforward and detailed tips to ensure a smooth transition:
Verify Boost Mobile Compatibility:
Before making the switch, double-check if Boost Mobile can support your number. Unlike some providers, Boost Mobile doesn’t have an instant check, so it’s a good idea to ask their support team.
Also, make sure your chosen number from NumberBarn is compatible before making the purchase.
Clarify Wireline Porting:
Numbers from NumberBarn are classified as wireline or landline, not wireless. To understand this difference better, dive into our article: “Is my number wireline or wireless?” Inform Boost Mobile about this distinction so they can set up the right porting settings.
Complete Boost Mobile’s Port Form Thoroughly:
When submitting a port-out request, ensure that Boost Mobile fills in all the required fields. In addition to the previously mentioned information, make sure they include:
- Authorization Name
- Authorization Date
- Specify if it’s a wireline-to-wireless port
Identify Boost Mobile’s Network:
Boost Mobile operates on either T-Mobile or AT&T networks, depending on your phone. If any issues arise during the porting process, find out which network they’re using for your number.
You can usually determine this based on the SIM card they provided. Don’t hesitate to contact Boost Mobile support for assistance.
Confirm Porting Date and Post-Porting Steps:
Once NumberBarn approves the port, reach out to Boost Mobile to confirm the date they’ll execute the transfer.
If you don’t receive confirmation on the port completion date, contact NumberBarn to manually activate your number.
We’ll notify you when the number is successfully on Boost Mobile, and at that point, you can remove it from your NumberBarn account – no more billing from us!
With these detailed tips, your journey to Boost Mobile will be a breeze. Happy porting!
