ATT / Verizon Switch Numbers
Posted on 10/13/14 at 7:49 am

I am a contract holder (unlimited data with ATT). I now have a company provided iPhone (with verizon). My mother currently has a Verizon phone (but is out of contract).
Is it possible that I can port her number to my ATT account (letting her take my place on this account) and my number to my employer's Verizon account?
Hers leaving Verizon, shouldn't be a problem as she has no contract.

Short answer- yes

good news. If I port my current # to my employer's Verizon account, wouldn't that effectively cancel my ATT account?

Yep, it does. When the port goes through it automatically cancels the ATT account. I did this when getting my new iPhone.. Called the 1-800 number for Verizon to port my number and within 15 minutes my new phone had my old number and my ATT line was canceled

I will never port my number into an employer's contract again. It was next to impossible to get it out and get a new contract set up.

That's what I was afraid of. I guess I could temporarily add a line just to bring the new # in, then switch those within the account, and port out mine.
That's where it gets tricky.
Or just punt my #...I guess

How about porting your number to Google Voice, then forward your GV account to your company provided phone? You'd probably need to do a 3 step process. Add a line to your ATT and transfer your number to the added line and transfer her number to you old line. Then transfer your old number to GV.

Not a bad idea. If I port to google voice, would I be able to make outgoing phone calls from that number?

GV is now integrated in Hangouts. Not sure exactly how it works on iOS, but on Android you can make/receive calls with your GV number over data with the Hangouts app. Found these 2 articles, but since I don't have an iPhone, I can't comment on how well/if it works.
