ZingPCS is no longer in service. It sold its wireless business in 2016. Here is what that means for a ZingPCS number.
Account Number
There is no ZingPCS account number to retrieve. The company’s own account of its history says it started in wireless in 2011 and sold that branch in 2016, and the zingpcs.com domain now belongs to an unrelated notary and business-formation firm.
Transfer PIN
ZingPCS no longer issues transfer PINs. No successor carrier took over the base.
ZingPCS Contact Info

ZingPCS Porting Instructions
There is nothing to port out of. ZingPCS sold its wireless business in 2016, so no account, account number or transfer PIN exists to move a number away from.

Your number and your rights
Number portability is a federal right, not a carrier policy. It applies only while a line is active — once service ends and the number is released, there is nothing left to transfer.
If you are setting up a new line
ZingPCS is gone, so there is no transfer to make. If you are choosing a carrier now, start from the network that covers your address rather than the brand on the bill.
Questions about ZingPCS
Can I still port my number out of ZingPCS?
No. ZingPCS left the wireless business in 2016, so there is no active account to transfer from.
What happened to ZingPCS?
The company sold its wireless branch in 2016 — its own published history says so. The zingpcs.com domain now serves an unrelated notary and business-formation firm.
Who holds my old ZingPCS number now?
If you moved the line to another carrier before 2016, that carrier holds it. If the line went dark, the number was released and is no longer yours to move.
Which network did ZingPCS use?
It had no network of its own. It resold across three host networks, with the network set by the SIM you bought.
How do I tell whether an old ZingPCS number is still mine?
Dial it. If it rings to someone else, or to a recording saying the number is not in service, it was released and reassigned — at that point it is no longer portable and no carrier can recover it for you. If it reaches a line you still pay for, whoever bills you for that line is the carrier that holds it, and that is who issues the account number and transfer PIN. A number only stays portable while a live account sits behind it.
Why does a brand disappear without telling its customers?
Small resellers rarely own the network they sell, so when a wholesale agreement ends or the business is sold, service can stop faster than notices go out. ZingPCS sold its wireless branch in 2016 and kept the domain for an unrelated business, which is why searches for it still land somewhere that has nothing to do with phone service. The practical lesson is to port a number out while the account is still active rather than waiting for an announcement.
