Is it not fully switched yet? Should I wait for more updates from Verizon?\u201d I was unsure if the transfer was done and dusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How long should I wait? How do I know when I can start using my new line?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re currently switching to Verizon, you may be scratching your head over the same questions I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The confusing part is that the updates come via scattered text messages. So instead of twiddling your thumbs waiting for the next update, it&#8217;s a good idea to check your port status yourself to see if it&#8217;s really complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s tackle these questions one by one. Grab your phone, we&#8217;re about to dive into your browser to check your Verizon port status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to know if my porting request will go smoothly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that it&#8217;s pretty simple to predict if your number porting will go off without a hitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sit back and relax while waiting for Verizon\u2019s notice that it\u2019s all sorted\u00a0 if you&#8217;ve done these things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Settled any outstanding bills with your previous carrier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensured that the information you provided is accurate and up-to-date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Given Verizon an alternate working contact number in case they need to call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kept your current carrier service active.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(This is important. Do not cancel during the porting because your previous account will automatically disconnect after it\u2019s completed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ticked off these boxes, there&#8217;s a good chance you won&#8217;t see a &#8216;Rejected&#8217; or &#8216;Failed&#8217; status, assuming there are no other bumps in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to check the port status?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Verizon will drop you a text with updates, so you don&#8217;t have to keep checking the status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, you can manually check if you&#8217;re itching to know the current status of the transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as I mentioned earlier, it&#8217;s a wise move to check the status yourself, especially if you&#8217;re having connection issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to check Verizon port status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the main event: how to check your Verizon port status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the status will help you catch any unexpected hiccups early, spare you from pulling your hair out wondering why your line isn&#8217;t working, and ensure you don&#8217;t miss the activation of your Verizon account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this two ways: either by hopping onto the website or by giving the Port center a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Check status through the Verizon website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-1-07132023-1024x543.png\" alt=\"Port status and resubmit on a Verizon website\" class=\"wp-image-2785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-1-07132023-1024x543.png 1024w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-1-07132023-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-1-07132023-768x407.png 768w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-1-07132023-1536x815.png 1536w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-1-07132023-2048x1086.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Got a text from Verizon with a link inside? That link will lead you straight to the page where you can check out how your number porting is coming along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, find that text and tap that link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oops, deleted the message, did you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you accidentally deleted the message containing the link, you can check the status by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/switch-to-verizon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">switch to Verizon<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the steps to check the status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Once the page opens, input your 10-digit phone number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Input the 6-digit PIN given by Verizon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Check Status<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>My Services<\/strong> to view the port status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple, right? This way, you can keep tabs on the status anytime you want, and it barely takes two shakes of a lamb&#8217;s tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure what your status means? Scroll down to the \u201cWhat does your port status mean?\u201d section for some clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Call the Port center&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get chatty with a Verizon rep by dialing the Port center at <strong>1-888-844-7095<\/strong>, then ask them what&#8217;s up with your port status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nice bit about speaking to a human is you can ask them to decipher your status for you, unlike with the online method where you just get the status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got issues with your port status? Ask away. If things are dragging along, you can also follow up with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the port status mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-2-07132023-1024x541.png\" alt=\"Port status tracking website in Verizon\" class=\"wp-image-2789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-2-07132023-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-2-07132023-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-2-07132023-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-2-07132023-1536x812.png 1536w, https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/verizon-port-status-2-07132023-2048x1083.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bummer &#8211; the website won&#8217;t give you an estimated completion time for the porting. You can only see the status, and knowing its meaning will help you understand what phase you\u2019re in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the statuses and their meanings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Submitted<\/strong>: Verizon has taken note of your port request and is getting things ready for the switch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In Progress<\/strong>: The number transfer is underway. This can take a few hours or even days, depending. You can place calls, but incoming calls are a no-go. Texting is also out of the picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Completed<\/strong>: The transfer is done and dusted, and your number is live on the Verizon network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rejected<\/strong>: Uh-oh, your port got denied. Maybe you gave wrong info, had unpaid bills with your old carrier, or there&#8217;s a record of fraudulent activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Failed:<\/strong> The transfer bombed because of an incorrect PIN\/password, if you scrapped the port request, or due to tech issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s <strong>Rejected<\/strong> or <strong>Failed<\/strong>, Verizon might try to get in touch. You can also ring them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your status is <strong>Completed<\/strong> but things aren&#8217;t working, give your device a reboot. Switch it off for five minutes, then power it back up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still no action? Better call the Port center for answers and what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long will the process take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the transfer is taking more than half a day, it&#8217;s no reason to chew out the customer support rep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your SIM type, it could take a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, a mobile number takes around 4-24 hours and a landline around 2-10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are no hard and fast rules, though. Your line might be out of action for a bit during the transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there fees for the port process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than hidden charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes surprise expenses messing with their budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you won&#8217;t be forking out any cash to Verizon for porting, whether that&#8217;s a mobile or landline number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Verizon port status is a handy tool to keep an eye on the number transfer process. If you&#8217;ve played by Verizon&#8217;s rules, things should go swimmingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porting a mobile number can sometimes be as fast as 10 minutes, so you might not even have to check the status!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you want some reassurance, you can check the status at any point in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, landline porting takes a wee bit longer, averaging 2-10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online status check can show: Submitted, In Progress, Completed, Rejected, or Failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ran into some trouble with your service after the port? Give the Port center a buzz at 1-888-844-7095, so they can help you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell us how your porting journey goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More from <em>CleverFixes<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cleverfixes.com\/does-firestick-work-on-any-tv\/\">Does Firestick Work on Any TV?
