Ported phone to another carrier now cant access my account

Post by Flow »

Hi, I have subscribed to FPL and ported my home phone number back in 2013.

Now I have ported that number to my cell phone carrier and cannot access my account online to port my other home phone to my FPL account.

I have submitted a ticket concerning this on Monday but have not heard from anyone, only the automate message.

Did I lose my account? Did I loose my device activation in the process?
I was under the impression that by porting my FPL number to my cell I would be temporarily assigned a phone like when I first subscribe until I go in my account to pay to port my other number...

I hope I didn't screw this up and have to pay for a key again...

When you port away, your account is automatically closed, and, in turn, yes, you automatically lose your VoIP unlock key. You are not automatically issued a new FPL phone number.

It's possible someone may be nice and give you a new phone number for your old account. However, I'm aware of people experiencing difficulty getting that done in the past.
