A number transfer PIN is used when you want to transfer your phone number from one cell phone carrier to another.
You’ll need to give your AT&T transfer PIN to your new carrier so your phone number transfer can be authorized.
Here is how to get your AT&T transfer PIN in three ways:
- By dialing *PORT
- By using the myAT&T app
- By using the AT&T website
Let's dive in.
1. How to Get Your AT&T Transfer PIN by Dialing *PORT

Step 2: Verify your AT&T account by saying or entering your four digit account PIN.
Step 3: Press 1 on the keypad to request a new transfer PIN
Step 4: AT&T will send you a text message with your temporary six-digit transfer PIN.
Your transfer PIN will be valid for four days after you create it.
If you do transfer your phone number within four days, then you will need to go through the process again and generate a new number transfer PIN.
