Check coverage before you port
SouthernLINC runs its own network rather than reselling a national carrier, so coverage is regional. Confirm the service area covers where you live and work before you port a number in.
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 SouthernLINC
Can I keep my phone number when I leave SouthernLINC?
Yes. Federal number portability rules let you take a working number to a new carrier. SouthernLINC cannot refuse the transfer or charge you to release the number.
Should I cancel SouthernLINC before I port my number out?
No. Cancel first and the number is released, which ends your right to move it. Keep the SouthernLINC line active until the new carrier confirms the port completed.
How long does a port out from SouthernLINC take?
A simple wireless transfer usually completes within one business day once the new carrier submits the correct SouthernLINC account number and transfer PIN.
Does SouthernLINC run on its own towers?
Yes. SouthernLINC operates its own network rather than reselling another carrier’s coverage.
