Can I switch carriers while keeping my Cricket phone number?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, it is possible to switch carriers while keeping your Cricket phone number. This process is known as porting your number. To do this, you will need to initiate the porting request with your new carrier, as they will guide you through their specific procedures. It is essential to ensure that your Cricket account is active and that you have the necessary information, such as your account number and PIN, available for the new carrier. The new carrier will take care of contacting Cricket Communications to complete the porting process. Keep in mind that the transfer can take some time, and it is advisable to wait until the process is fully complete before cancelling your Cricket service.
