Keep reading on how to make this quick and simple switch from one carrier to another.<\/p>\n

Check the Coverage in Your Area<\/h2>\n

First things first, check that the carrier you are looking to switch to has coverage where you live, work, and frequently travel to. There is nothing worse than already switching phone carriers and there\u2019s little to no coverage available where you live! Fortunately, at Twigby, coverage is the least of your worries as we provide coverage from the nation\u2019s largest and most reliable network<\/a>. This gives Twigby customers peace of mind that they have the best coverage available.<\/p>\n

Confirm Your Current Phone is Compatible<\/h2>\n

You like your phone. It works just fine. Great \u2013 bring it with you. Bringing your current phone with you when switching carriers can also help you keep even more money in your pocket. Before bringing your phone to a different carrier, it\u2019s also a good idea to check if your current phone is compatible with that carrier. Remember, regardless of whether the phone is “unlocked” or not, some phones were manufactured to only work on a specific network. When a phone is “unlocked”, it means it can be used on any compatible network, not that it will be compatible with every network.<\/p>\n

When switching phone carriers to Twigby, we make it easy to see if your phone is compatible with us. By using our compatibility tool<\/a> and your phone\u2019s IMEI number (think of it as a social security number for your phone), we\u2019ll let you know if you can bring your phone to Twigby or not. If it is compatible, you’ll be guided through our simple check out process. We also show you how to find your IMEI number. However, if it is not compatible, no need to worry! We have great phones at even better prices<\/a>, all without contracts or credit checks.<\/p>\n

Bringing Your Number to Twigby is Easy<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s admit it \u2013 most people don\u2019t want to have to get a new phone number. Once you have checked your coverage and determined if your phone is compatible or if you are getting a new one, the next step is to decide if you are bringing your number with you. When switching phone carriers to Twigby, it\u2019s really simple to transfer your number from your existing provider to us. We\u2019ll ask you at checkout if you\u2019re using an existing number or if you\u2019d like a new one, and we handle the rest from there!\u00a0You can transfer a mobile number or a home phone number, it doesn\u2019t matter!<\/p>\n

If you are bringing your number to Twigby, we will need the following information to transfer (port) your number to Twigby: name and address on phone bill, phone number you want to bring to Twigby, account number with other carrier, and port out\/PIN password. If you need help finding any of this information, we have compiled a list of port requirements by carrier here.<\/a> Just remember that your phone number will only be eligible to port if it is currently active. If you have already deactivated it, we will not be able to port it for you.<\/p>\n
