Best Cellular is not a phone company anymore. The carrier stopped operating. There are no Best Cellular plans, no Best Cellular SIM cards, no stores and no accounts to log into. Nothing on this site is for sale by Best Cellular.
What this site is now
BestCellular.com is a reference for one thing: getting your phone number out of a carrier that does not want to let it go. Every carrier page here lists the account number, the transfer PIN or port-out PIN, the phone number that actually reaches a porting department, and the traps that get transfers rejected.
Start at the carrier database, or read how to switch carriers.
I had a Best Cellular line. What do I do?
Those lines are closed and the numbers were released years ago. There is no account to port out of. If your number is active today, it is active on whatever carrier you moved to.
Can I still buy a Best Cellular plan?
No. The carrier is out of business.
Who runs this site?
See About Best Cellular.
Is Best Cellular a carrier?
No. Best Cellular does not sell wireless service, and the Best Cellular MCNO is not a company any more. What is left is this site: a free reference for finding the account number and transfer PIN you need to move a number to another carrier.
Do you sell phones, plans or SIM cards?
No. There is nothing to buy here, no account to create and no sign-up. We no longer run any retail stores either.
Can I keep my phone number when I leave any carrier?
Yes. Number portability is federal law, not a carrier policy, and it applies whether you are leaving a national carrier, an MVNO, a VoIP provider or a landline. The rule is the FCC’s: Portability: Keeping Your Phone Number When Changing Service Providers.
Do I need an account to use the tools?
No. Every tool on this site runs without a login, and nothing you type into them is stored on our side.
Where does the carrier information on this site come from?
We call carriers and record what their own support staff say, and we cite the carrier’s published page where one exists. Where a carrier has not published which network it runs on, we say so rather than guess.
What happened to your Best Cellular number
Best Cellular stopped operating as a carrier. Its lines were closed and the numbers released, so there is no account to port out of and no coverage to check. If you moved your number before the shutdown, it belongs to whichever carrier you moved it to.
Free tools, no sign-up
Best Cellular is a reference site now. These are the tools it exists for. Every one is free, and none of them asks you to make an account.
