So, you’re making the smart move to Infimobile—yass! You’re ready for those 🔥 plans and crystal-clear coverage. But then… your number decides to be dramatic and the port-in fails. Ugh. Don’t stress! A port glitch is usually a quick fix.
We’ve seen it all, and we’re breaking down the top reasons your number transfer might hit a snag. Consider this your cheat sheet to a smooth, hassle-free switch. Let’s get you connected!
The 7 Biggest Port-In Party Fouls (And How to Crash Them)
1. The “Oops, Wrong Deets” Dilemma
Let’s be real: this is the #1 reason ports get rejected. Basically, if the info you give us doesn’t match what your old carrier has exactly, they’ll slam the door. We’re talking:
- Account Number: (Hint: It’s not your phone number! Find it on your old bill).
- Transfer PIN: This is a special, one-time code. Consequently, your regular account password won’t work!
- Billing ZIP: Gotta be the exact one on file.
Your Quick Fix: Before you hit submit, log into your old carrier’s app and triple-check everything. A minute now saves a major headache later!
2. The “Premature Goodbye”
We know you’re eager to ditch your old carrier, but hold up! If you cancel your service before your number ports to Infimobile, you might accidentally delete your number forever. 😱
Your Quick Fix: Simply keep your old service active! The porting process itself will automatically cancel it for you once the transfer is complete. Easy peasy.
3. The “Money Talk” Block
Got an unpaid bill or are you still paying off your phone? As a result, your old carrier can put a financial hold on your number, blocking the transfer until you settle up.
Your Quick Fix: Clear any outstanding balances first. Then, give their customer service a quick call to confirm your account is “clear to port.”
4. The “Locked & Loaded” Number
To fight fraud, many carriers let you “lock” your number. It’s a great security feature… until you’re trying to leave!
Your Quick Fix: To solve this, dive into your old carrier’s security settings and turn off any “Port-Out Protection” or “Number Lock.” Don’t worry, you can always turn it back on with us later!
5. The “Expired PIN” Panic
Remember that special Transfer PIN we mentioned? Well, it’s like a ticket to a concert—it expires! If you generate one and wait too long, it’s useless.
Your Quick Fix: Therefore, grab a fresh Transfer PIN from your old carrier right before you start your Infimobile sign-up. Most importantly, use it immediately!
6. The “Not-So-Mobile” Number
Here’s the deal: porting a number from a landline or a VoIP app (like Google Voice) is a different beast. For this reason, the process is slower and has its own rules.
Your Quick Fix: No worries, we’ve got this! Just give our support team a heads-up. After all, we’re pros at handling these unique transfers.
7. The “Behind-the-Scenes” Glitch
Sometimes, it’s not you—it’s them. In other words, a system error or a typo on your old carrier’s end can cause a random rejection.
Your Quick Fix: This is where our A-team shines. If things get stuck, our support specialists will jump in and talk directly to your old carrier. Their mission? To play detective and get your port back on track, fast.
Your 3-Step, No-Stress Porting Checklist
Follow this, and you’ll be golden:
- Gather Your Intel: First, have your Account Number, Billing ZIP, and a fresh Transfer PIN ready.
