Transferring phone numbers to other phones, commonly known as “porting,” allows users to maintain their existing phone numbers when switching carriers or upgrading to new devices. For instance, if you decide to switch from Carrier A to Carrier B while keeping your current mobile number, you can initiate a number porting process.
Porting phone numbers offers several benefits, including seamless communication continuity, avoiding the hassle of updating contacts, and preserving established business identities. Historically, number porting gained traction in the early 2000s as mobile phone usage surged, enabling users to retain their numbers across network providers.
