How to Switch, Step by Step
We've listed the current Verizon switch promotions above. Pick the deal that works best for you.
Purchase a T-Mobile port number for $14. It's delivered to your email in minutes with the phone number, account number, and PIN.
Head to your nearest Verizon store and tell them you want to port in a number to activate a new line.
Hand the store rep your port number, account number, and PIN. They'll process the port and set up your new line.
The port completes, your new Verizon line is live, and the promotional deal is applied to your account.
Which Port Number Do You Need?
Carriers are grouped into families. To qualify for a switch deal, your port number must come from a different carrier family than the one you're switching to.
Since you're switching to Verizon, you need a number from the T-Mobile family or the AT&T family. We recommend a T-Mobile number — it works for all Verizon switch deals and is delivered in minutes.

Common Questions
How long does it take to switch from T-Mobile to Verizon?
The in-store process takes about 30-60 minutes. Your new line activates immediately, and your number transfers within hours.
Will I lose my T-Mobile number?
No. You're porting a separately purchased number, not your personal one. Your T-Mobile line stays active until you decide to cancel it.
Can I keep my T-Mobile phone?
Yes, but it may need to be unlocked. Contact T-Mobile to request an unlock before you switch. Most modern phones work on Verizon once unlocked.
Does Verizon accept port numbers from Metro or Boost?
Yes. Verizon accepts port-ins from any carrier outside the Verizon family. T-Mobile, Metro, Boost, AT&T, and Cricket numbers all qualify for Verizon switch deals.
