Role
Editor, Best Cellular. Responsible for what appears on this site: the carrier records, the port-out instructions, the network mapping and the corrections log.
Publisher
Best Cellular is operated by Assertive Holdings, LLC. Best Cellular is not a wireless carrier and does not sell service.
Why this site has a named editor
Most carrier reference sites are anonymous. That is a problem when the information is wrong, because there is nobody accountable for the error and nobody to fix it. Every carrier record here carries a verification date and a name.
It also matters for accuracy. A large share of the port-out instructions circulating online are copied from each other and years out of date – four-digit security codes that carriers stopped using, networks that shut down in 2022, carriers that no longer exist. Those pages are anonymous too. Verifying a record against the carrier’s own documentation and signing it is the difference.

Editorial standards for this site
- Carrier documentation first. Account numbers, PIN retrieval steps, expiry windows and contact numbers come from the carrier’s own support pages wherever the carrier publishes them.
- Unverified is labeled unverified. If a carrier does not publish a PIN length or an expiry window, this site says so rather than repeating a figure copied from another site.
- Network claims are sourced. Where a carrier will not name the network it runs on, the page says that too – and the recommendation module is suppressed rather than guessing.
- Corrections are dated, not quietly edited. Every carrier record carries the date it was last verified.
- Commercial links are disclosed in place. Recommendations are filtered by network first and sorted by price, not by what pays. See the affiliate disclosure.

Corrections are welcome
Carriers change their port-out process without announcing it. If a record here is wrong or out of date, say so and it gets checked against the carrier’s documentation and fixed.
