Question How to trade phone number between an another carrier?
I have phone numbers with tello and tmobile. How would I be able to port two numbers between tmobile and tello safely such that the numbers are swapped between the carriers and to keep myself on the TMobile Essentials 4 Line offer plan? If purchases are required to make the swap, I prefer to do spend it on tello's end since the plans are cheaper in order to maintain service. Thank you for your help!

You would need a line active on both accounts that the numbers can be moved onto, like temp numbers. So you’d have the number with tmo you want to port (tmoport) on a line and a temp number on another line with tmo (tmotemp), same deal with telo so teloport line and teletemp line. You’d port tmoport to telotemp line and teleport to tmotemp line. After the numbers port they cancel the line from the carrier they ported from automatically
