Check coverage before you port
We have not confirmed which national network Scratch Wireless uses, and we do not guess. Ask them before you port, then check that network’s map: 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.

Questions about Scratch Wireless
Can I keep my phone number when I leave Scratch Wireless?
Yes. Federal number portability rules let you take a working number to a new carrier. Scratch Wireless cannot refuse the transfer or charge you to release the number.
Should I cancel Scratch Wireless before I port my number out?
No. Cancel first and the number is released, which ends your right to move it. Keep the Scratch Wireless line active until the new carrier confirms the port completed.
How long does a port out from Scratch Wireless take?
A simple wireless transfer usually completes within one business day once the new carrier submits the correct Scratch Wireless account number and transfer PIN.
Does Scratch Wireless run on its own towers?
Not confirmed. Scratch Wireless has not published which host network carries its traffic.
Does Scratch Wireless 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 Scratch Wireless account number is wrong?
The port request is rejected and the new carrier resubmits it. The number stays on Scratch Wireless in the meantime, so nothing is lost — it only costs time.
Do I send my Scratch Wireless SIM to the new carrier?
No. The new carrier issues its own SIM or eSIM. What transfers is the number, using the account number and transfer PIN — never the physical SIM.
Can I port a Scratch Wireless number to a landline or VoIP service?
Usually yes, as long as the receiving provider serves the rate center the number belongs to. Ask the new provider to check the number before you start.
