Local Number Portability (LNP)

   
Switch to America's best national wireless network and keep your phone number.*

Starting November 24, 2003, you can bring your existing number from your current wireless or landline service provider to Verizon Wireless - the nation's best, most reliable national wireless network*. This is called porting your number.
You'll have:

  • No new number to remember.
  • No need to contact dozens of family, friends and associates.
  • No unnecessary expense printing new stationery or business cards.

Important Information
Porting is a new service and wireless porting requirements are subject to ongoing government review. As a result, the information may change.

We anticipate local number portability to be available starting November 24, 2003 All phone numbers are assigned to a local geographic area. To port your number:
  • it must remain associated with the same local geographic area where it is currently assigned

  • the local geographic area with which your number is associated must be an area where Verizon Wireless currently provides service

Initially, numbers that are assigned to local geographic areas outside the 100 largest markets may not be eligible to be ported.
