What is number porting?
Number porting transfers your existing phone number from your current carrier to Allo. Your number stays the same — Allo just becomes your new provider.

How it works
Fill out the porting form
Go to porting.withallo.com and submit your details. We’ll need information from your current provider — see the list below before you start.
We handle everything with your carrier
Our team contacts your current provider and initiates the transfer on your behalf.
We confirm your porting date
We’ll coordinate the exact transfer date and let you know as soon as it’s confirmed. You can also request a preferred date — note it’s not always guaranteed.
Prepare 24h before
The day before your number is ported, it will appear in your Allo account. Use that time to configure your settings so everything is ready on day one.
What you’ll need
Before filling out the form, contact your current provider to gather:| Information | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Account number | Your carrier bill or online account |
| Authorized person name | Must match the name on the billing contract exactly |
| Billing phone number | On file with your current carrier |
| Service address | Zip code and state are required |
| Port-out PIN | Request it from your carrier — not always required, but avoids rejections |
| Last invoice | A copy of your most recent bill |
Costs
Allo charges nothing to port your number. Your ported number is included in your existing plan with no extra monthly fee. Your current carrier may charge an early termination or port-out fee — check your contract before initiating. If you already have an Allo number, your ported number either replaces it or becomes an additional number at the standard rate.Eligible numbers
