Check coverage before you port
Budget Mobile uses more than one network, so your coverage depends on which one serves your address rather than on the brand on the bill. Check all three: Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T.
Your right to keep the number is federal, not a carrier policy. The rule is the FCC’s: Portability: Keeping Your Phone Number When Changing Service Providers.
