Bringing phone number to FreedomPop
You can port in your existing number from any major wireless carrier in the USA, without charge. You can even convert your landline or VoIP number (such as Google Voice) to FreedomPop.
After you have obtained your FreedomPop Premium SIM, visit freedompop.com/activate and enter your SIM card ICCID number. Check the box that says "Would you like to port your existing wireless number?" This will open up the phone number transfer request form.
Fill out this form as completely and correctly as possible. You'll need your phone number's account number and PIN number. Get this information from your previous wireless carrier. Make sure to ask for the "number transfer account and PIN" because some wireless carrier have one account number for account management purposes and another account number for phone number transfers.
Do not terminate your existing service! Your account with your previous carrier must be active at the start of the process. If you cancel service before the port completes, your account may be closed prematurely and you will lose your number.
Transferring your phone number from FreedomPop VoIP to the new Premium SIM card
Easily transfer your phone number from the older, VoIP SIM card to the newer Premium SIM card by going to freedompop.com/upgrade, after you get your new Premium SIM card in the mail.
If all the information that you enter into the system is accepted, the port in process can take from just a few minutes to a few hours. However, porting in a landline phone number can take about 14 working days.
Gather the necessary information
Do not terminate your existing service! Your account with your previous carrier must be active at the start of the process. If you cancel service before the port completes, your account may be closed prematurely and you will lose your number.

What happens now?
The process typically takes 2-24 hours for mobile phone numbers and 5-7 days for landlines or VOIP numbers. Once the port-in process is complete you'll get an email from us to let you know your request was successful.
Once the port-in process is complete, your ported-in phone number will show up in the FreedomPop messaging application and online in your my.freedompop.com account. Your old number will be deactivated, and your ported-in number should now work.
Your phone may be unable to make or receive calls for a few minutes after the port-in process is complete. Text messaging may take up to 72 hours to work.
We recommend that you log out and log back into the FreedomPop app if your new phone number does not show up properly.
If your ported-in phone number is not working
If you are unable to make or receive calls or texts, even 72 hours after the port-in process was completed successfully, you may need to synchronize your FreedomPop account with your FreedomPop application and phone.
