Continue reading this post to learn how to change your number on Mint Mobile. Also, you will learn other details like the cost and duration of the number change process.
What You Need To Change Mint Mobile Phone Number
To make the number change process seamless, there are some things you need to put in place. They include the below:
a. Keep Mint Mobile Account Active
Your Mint Mobile account must be active for you to change the number linked to the account. That means that if for any reason the network suspends your account, you must reactivate the account before you can change the number linked to the account.
b. Remain The Primary Account Holder
The Mint Mobile number change request policy stipulates that it’s only the Primary account holder can apply to change a phone number linked to a Boost Mobile account.
That means that you can’t apply to change a number assigned to another customer.
That is why you have to verify that you are the primary account holder to change the phone number.
c. Save Voicemail Messages
One other thing to do before you apply to change your Mint Mobile number is to ensure you save your voicemail messages.
Any saved voicemail message will be deleted after you switch to a new number.
That is why you need to save important details before you switch to a new number.

The customer representative may request for your Mint Mobile account number and PIN to verify your account.

So, ensure you tell the support representative the area code you want to be assigned a number.
