If you’re still paying for a traditional home phone, you could be spending more than necessary. Transfer your landline to a cell phone with your existing Twigby Mobile account, keep the same phone number you’ve had for years, and eliminate the cost of an expensive landline bill.
Whether you rarely use your home phone or use it a lot, transferring your landline to Twigby lets you keep the number your family, friends, and important contacts already know.
Why Transfer Your Landline to a Cell Phone?
As an existing Twigby customer, you already have affordable wireless service. Instead of continuing to pay for a separate landline, you can transfer your long-time home phone number to your existing Twigby account. By transferring your landline number to your existing Twigby account, you can:
-
- Keep your long-time home phone number
- Continue using voicemail, caller ID, call waiting
- Make and receive calls and even text messages
- Eliminate your expensive landline bill
Keep Your Number
The biggest concern most people have is whether they’ll lose their home phone number. Fortunately, you can keep it. Your phone number is moved from your current landline provider to your existing Twigby Mobile service through a process called number porting. Simply put, number porting means transferring your existing phone number from one company to another so you can continue using the same number.
Because landline providers process these requests differently than wireless carriers, transferring a landline number usually takes a little longer. In most cases, you can expect the process to take 7 to 10 days.
One of the most important things to remember is do not cancel your landline service before the transfer is complete. Your current account must remain active while your number is being transferred. If the service is canceled or disconnected first, you could lose the phone number you’re trying to keep.
Phone Options That Fit Your Lifestyle
One of the best parts about switching your home phone service to Twigby is the flexibility you gain. Many phones that customers already own can support more than one phone number, allowing you to use a single phone for both your mobile service and your home phone number. This means you may not need to purchase any new equipment at all.
Of course, some people prefer to keep their home phone and mobile phone separate. If that’s you, we make that easy, too. You can use another compatible phone you already have, or choose from our selection of affordable, easy-to-use phones available on our website. A dedicated phone can stay conveniently in your home while still giving you the freedom to take it with you whenever you leave. Whether you prefer one phone or two, Twigby gives you the flexibility to choose the setup that works best for your lifestyle.
A Great Number for Text Verification
Another benefit many customers appreciate is being able to receive text messages on their former landline number. Some people prefer not to use their primary cell phone number for every website, app, or online account that requires text verification. After transferring your landline to your cell phone, your long-time home phone number can receive verification codes and other text messages, giving you another option for online registrations.
Your primary mobile number can stay reserved for family and friends, while your former landline number handles account verifications and other non-personal communications.
Save Money Every Month
Many Twigby customers have moved their traditional landline to Twigby’s affordable $10 talk and text plan and have saved a significant amount of money each month.
If you mainly want to keep your number active for calls, voicemail, and occasional text messages, there’s no reason to continue paying for an expensive landline.

If you’re ready to stop paying for a traditional landline, transferring your home phone number to your existing Twigby account is a simple way to save money while keeping the number you’ve had for years.
