If I switch to Frontier, can I keep my existing phone number?

Yes, so long as you’re staying in the same geographic area – meaning you switched to Frontier as your provider, and area code are the same. Phone number transfers, also known as porting, can take up to 5 business days. 

If you’re moving to a new geographic area with a different area code, you may need a new number. If you’re unable to transfer your existing number, we’ll provide a new number at no cost to you.

Note: Sometimes, providers will place a Local Carrier Change Freeze on your account to protect against unauthorized transfers. If your current provider has placed this freeze on your account, you’ll need to contact them and have it removed before we can transfer your number.
