Learn about Number Transfer PINs

You’ll need a Number Transfer PIN (and required account info) to transfer your number from AT&T to another service provider.

Heads up:

  • Don’t disconnect your AT&T service before requesting a number transfer with your new service provider. If you do, you’ll have to reactivate your AT&T number before your request can be completed.
  • Using your device with your new service provider? Make sure your device is eligible to unlock and  request the Number Transfer PIN before signing up with them.
  • If you have Wireless Account Lock turned on, you won’t be able to transfer your number—you’ll need to turn off the account lock first. Learn how to turn off Wireless Account Lock

Get your Number Transfer PIN

Request your Number Transfer PIN close to the time you’ll submit the transfer request to the new provider. You can use a single Number Transfer PIN for all numbers that are on the same account. The Number Transfer PIN will expire four days after you request it. If you need a new one, you can ask for another by following the same steps.

Online with myAT&T

  1. Go to People & permissions in your myAT&T profile.
  2. Select Wireless.
  3. Scroll to Transfer phone number and select Request a new PIN. Your Number Transfer PIN will display on the screen.

FYI: AT&T employees can’t generate a Number Transfer PIN on your behalf.
