If you are looking to port your number from Mint Mobile to another network, there are certain details you’ll need to provide your new carrier. These details include your Mint Mobile account number and Security PIN.
Any carrier you want to port your number to will ask for these details to begin the port-out process.
This post will guide you on how to retrieve your Mint Mobile account number and PIN so that you can start the number porting process. But first, let’s explain why your Mint Mobile account number is essential.
1. What Is Mint Mobile Account Number?
The Mint Mobile account number is the unique identifier assigned to your account. Every Mint Mobile customer is given an account number that is crucial for several reasons:
- It is used for billing purposes, including payments and renewals.
- It is needed when you want to make major changes to your Mint Mobile account.
- It is essential for porting your number from Mint Mobile to another carrier.
If you want to transfer your phone number from Mint Mobile to a different network, you will need this account number.
2. How To Get Your Mint Mobile Account Number
Unlike some other carriers, Mint Mobile does not make the account number easily visible on the online dashboard or in your monthly bill. Therefore, you have to follow a specific method to retrieve it.
Previously, you had to contact Mint Mobile customer support to get your account number, and this could take some time. In fact, it can be frustrating to wait on the phone with customer service, sometimes for more than 15 minutes.
However, there is now an easier, faster method to get your account number directly through the Mint Mobile app. Here’s how:
3. Steps to Get Your Mint Mobile Account Number:
- Download the Mint Mobile App:
- Visit the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for the “Mint Mobile” app.
- Download and install the app on your phone.
- Sign Into Your Account:
- Open the Mint Mobile app and enter your User ID and Password to log in.
- Navigate to the Support Tab:
- Scroll down to find the ‘Support Tab’ and click on ‘Start a Conversation’.
- Request Your Account Number:
- In the chat space, type ‘Account Number’ and send the message.
- The Fox Chatbot:
- The chatbot will ask if you want to ‘Port In’ or ‘Port Out’.
- Choose ‘Port Out’.
- Wait for the Agent:
- The bot will place you in a queue to chat with a customer support agent.
- Wait for a couple of minutes to get connected.
- Verify Your Identity:
- Once you are connected to an agent, request your Account Number.
- The agent will send an Authentication Code to your phone to verify your identity.
- Complete Verification:
- Copy and paste the code sent to your phone into the chat box.
- Once the verification is complete, the support agent will share your Account Number.
4. How To Get Your Mint Mobile Transfer PIN
The Transfer PIN is essentially the security PIN tied to your Mint Mobile account, and it’s needed to complete the port-out process when transferring your number to a different carrier.
Here’s how you can get your Mint Mobile Transfer PIN. The process is nearly identical to getting your account number, so you can easily request both at the same time.
5. Steps to Get Your Mint Mobile Transfer PIN:

- Open the Mint Mobile app on your device.

6. Viola!!! You Have Your Account Number and Transfer PIN
Once you have both your Mint Mobile Account Number and Transfer PIN, you can proceed with porting your number to your new carrier.
Remember, it’s important to keep both pieces of information handy when initiating the port-out process. You’ll need to provide these details to the new carrier when asked to transfer your number.
Conclusion:
Getting your number ported from Mint Mobile is pretty straightforward. Just follow the steps to grab your account number and transfer PIN from the app or customer support. Once you have those, you can easily transfer your number to a new carrier.
Just make sure your account is active before starting the port-out. After that, the process should be smooth, and you’ll be all set with your new carrier.
