How do I go about transferring my telephone number/line from another company?

You may transfer your telephone number from another company to Straight Talk online. To port in your existing telephone number to your Straight Talk phone, the number you are porting must be active with your current service provider.

You need to request Straight Talk to port in your number, Straight Talk will process your request in your behalf. In order to request the transfer and initiate the activation process, please go to www.straighttalk.com/Activate, and select the radio button option "Activate my phone with a number transferred from another company."

The transferring of your phone number to a new Straight Talk phone could take as long as 2 business days, but in most cases it only takes a few hours. Transfers for landline phone numbers may take longer.

Your new Straight Talk phone will be ready to complete activation when your old phone stops working.
