Porting your number to LimePhone

Porting your phone number to LimePhone is a simple process, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. This guide will help ensure a smooth transition of your phone number to LimePhone, so you can start enjoying all our features without any hassle.

Step-by-Step Guide to Porting Your Phone Number to LimePhone

1. Gather Necessary Information

To start the porting process, you'll need to gather some key information:

• Account Number: This is the unique identifier associated with your current carrier.

• PIN or Password: Some carriers require a porting PIN or password for authorization.

• Billing Information: Make sure you have the exact billing address on file with your current carrier, as discrepancies can cause delays.

2. Submit a Port Request

Once you have the necessary information, you can initiate the porting request in LimePhone.

1. Navigate to the Porting Section: Log in to your LimePhone account and click on "Settings." Then, select "Port Number" to access the porting request form.

2. Fill Out the Port Request Form: Enter your current number, account number, PIN, and billing information accurately.

3. Submit the Request: After completing the form, click "Submit." LimePhone will then handle the request with your existing carrier.

3. Authorization Process

Your current carrier may contact you to confirm the port request. Please respond promptly to avoid any delays. LimePhone will also notify you if any further action is required from your side.

4. Porting Timeline

Porting typically takes between 1-7 business days. During this period, you will still be able to use your existing number without any interruptions.

5. Monitor the Porting Status

You can monitor the status of your port request directly within your LimePhone account:

• Pending: LimePhone has sent the request to your current carrier.

• In Progress: The carrier is processing the request.

• Completed: Your number has been successfully ported to LimePhone.

Tips for a Smooth Porting Experience

• Check with Your Carrier: Ensure that all account information matches exactly what your current carrier has on record. Even a small discrepancy can delay the process.

• Avoid Cancelling Your Old Account Prematurely: Keep your current phone service active until the porting process is complete to avoid complications.
