Cellular Abroad Does NOT appear to support port requests. Cellular Abroad is a temporary phone number service for International travlers. We have been unable to reach customer service yet but will update this info if we find that they do support port requests.
Getting a number off Cellular One takes two things: the account number and the transfer PIN. It runs on more than one host network. Here is how to get both and what the new carrier does with them.
Sprint MVNO: Charge ended operations on June 30th, 2017. If you decide to transfer service and keep your phone number, you will need your porting “account” number and PIN. You can can find this on your Charge account dashboard under the “triple-dot” dropdown menu under the device section. Each device and phone number on your account has a different “account” number and PIN so make sure to get each one if you have more than one active device with the MVNO.
Boom Mobile is no longer in service. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2026 and service stopped the same month, with no carrier taking over its customers. There is no Boom Mobile account number or transfer PIN to retrieve.
Best Cellular stopped operating as a wireless carrier. The site is now a reference for carrier account numbers, transfer PINs and port-out steps.
Big River Telephone company is not a cellular provider, but a point-to-point Home phone LTE Provider. They have their own towers in 8 counties in Missouri. Account number and PIN are required to port out and can be obtained from online portal.
Account number is reqired to port out. It is a four digit PIN stored on Big Sky Mobile’s portal – have to call the recive. It is not stored on the cusotmers account.
According to Customer Service, the option to port is based on which plan you have.
Call customer service and press option #5 to reach the porting department. Your AF Mobile account number is available by calling the porting department – AF Mobile does not use a PIN number but if the receiving carrier needs a PIN you can use: 0000
Bluegrass Cellular was acquired by Verizon in March 2021. Accounts moved to Verizon, so port requests go through Verizon, not Bluegrass Cellular.
