To confirm this, contact the new mobile provider’s porting department. You can only proceed with the port-out process after you confirm this.

b. Unlock Device

This option applies to you if you intend to use your current device in the new network. Ensure the device is not locked to any other carrier. If it is locked, contact the carrier to unlock the device after the device meets the unlocking requirements.

Most people make the mistake of canceling their AirTalk wireless account before or during the port-out process. That is not the correct way to go about it, and it will affect your port-out process.

The right thing to do is to keep your AirTalk Wireless account active until you complete the port-out process. Most times, it’s the new mobile provider that will contact AirTalk Wireless to cancel your account and service after the porting process.
