How to Get a Free iPhone with a Port Number

The entire process takes about 30 minutes. Here's exactly what to do.

1

Choose Your Deal

Check our iPhone Deals page for the latest promotions. Each deal shows the clawback risk so you know what you're committing to.

Tip: If you want zero financial risk, look for deals marked ✓ Phone is Yours — these are instant discounts where the phone is yours at checkout.

Check Carrier Family Rules

Carriers block ports within the same family. You can't port a T-Mobile number to Metro (both T-Mobile family), or an AT&T number to Cricket (both AT&T family). Use the checker below to see which port numbers work for your destination.

Select the carrier you want to switch to:

Visit the Carrier Store

Walk into the carrier store and tell them you want to switch from your current carrier and port your number over. Give them the port number details we sent you.

What to bring:

  • ✓ Port number — the phone number you purchased from us
  • ✓ Account number — included in your order email
  • ✓ PIN / passcode — included in your order email
  • ✓ Valid ID — driver's license or state ID

Get Your Free iPhone

The store rep will activate your new line, port your number over, and give you the promotional device. For instant-discount deals, you walk out with the phone immediately. For bill-credit deals, you'll start receiving monthly credits on your bill.

At the store: Just tell the rep you're switching carriers and want to port your number. That's all they need to know — the process is the same whether you've had the number for years or days.

Before You Go

Understand the commitment

Postpaid "free phone" deals require 24-36 months of service. Canceling early means you owe the remaining device balance. Read our Clawback Guide to understand the real risk.

Your personal number is safe

The port number is a separate number used only to qualify for the deal. Your personal phone number stays on whatever carrier you currently use.
