To understand what plan might be the best fit for you, check out our guide here<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you are transferring a number to us from your landline provider, it can take anywhere from 3 business days up to 7 business days, sometimes up to 10 business days<\/em>, to port to your NumberBarn account.
