How to change your phone number

You can change your phone number by yourself over the internet or by simply contact Customer Service.

Your account balance must be in good standing for you to change your phone number.
If you have voicemail, you'll lose all your saved messages as well as your greeting message, voice signature and access code. Once the change of phone number is completed, you'll need to set up your voicemail again by choosing a new access code and recording a new greeting message/voice signature.
There is a charge of $25 for changing your phone number, unless you're changing it because you're moving to a different region (outside your current local calling area).
If the change happens during your billing cycle, your airtime minutes, add-ons and monthly plan charges will be associated with either your old or new telephone number.
