Here is how to get your AT&T Landline account number and transfer PIN, and what to do with them when you move your number to another carrier.
Account Number
For an AT&T home phone, US Mobile says the account number is your 10-digit phone number. Quo says the home phone account number is 12 to 15 digits at the top of your bill. Check your bill, or call 877-910-0468 or 866-791-0240 to confirm.
Transfer PIN
US Mobile says the landline PIN is the 4 digits right of the phone number in the top right corner of your bill. Quo says landline and VoIP numbers get a 4-digit PIN that lapses after four days. AT&T’s own transfer PIN article covers wireless only.

Questions about AT&T Landline
Can I keep my phone number when I leave AT&T Landline?
Yes. Federal number portability rules let you take a working number to a new carrier. AT&T Landline cannot refuse the transfer or charge you to release the number.
Should I cancel AT&T Landline before I port my number out?
No. Cancel first and the number is released, which ends your right to move it. Keep the AT&T Landline line active until the new carrier confirms the port completed.
How long does a port out from AT&T Landline take?
A simple wireless transfer usually completes within one business day once the new carrier submits the correct AT&T Landline account number and transfer PIN.
Does AT&T Landline run on its own towers?
AT&T Landline is AT&T’s own home phone service, so it runs on AT&T’s own network. It is not a reseller.
Does AT&T Landline charge a fee to release my number?
No. A carrier cannot bill you for porting a number out. You may still owe a final bill or an unpaid device balance, and that is separate from the transfer itself.
What happens if the AT&T Landline account number is wrong?
The port request is rejected and the new carrier resubmits it. The number stays on AT&T Landline in the meantime, so nothing is lost — it only costs time.
