Can I sell or trade you my phone number?

Selling Your Phone Number

Number Shack and Phone Number Purchases:

At Number Shack, we currently do not purchase phone numbers directly from individuals. However, we can provide some helpful resources and information to assist you with selling your phone number on your own.

Maximizing Your Sale:

• Value: Consider these factors to determine a competitive price:
  • Premium Numbers: Do the digits repeat in a memorable pattern (e.g., 416-555-7788)?
  • Vanity Numbers: Does the number spell a word that could be appealing (e.g., 416-555-SOLD)?
  • Area Code: Generally, numbers with sought-after area codes like 416 often fetch more.
• Research: View our available 416 numbers at 416.numbershack.com for a pricing reference when setting your own price.
  

Selling Process Considerations:

• Transferring the Number: Decide whether you'll sell the number with a SIM card or via porting.
• Security Measures: Ensure the buyer assumes responsibility for the number once transferred.
  • Meeting in Person: This method allows for secure exchange with verification (ID & tracking number).
  • Mailing SIM Card: Consider requiring proof of ID upon receiving the package.
• Porting Considerations:
  • If the number is your only account number, porting will deactivate your service plan.
  • You might incur early termination fees if under contract.
  • Any promotional rates or locked-in pricing will be lost.

Additional Resources:

• Porting Guide: Learn more about the porting process at port.numbershack.com (though designed for Number Shack purchases, it can provide general information).
• Knowledge Base: Explore our Knowledge Base at help.numbershack.com for answers to other inquiries.
  
• About Us: Learn more about Number Shack on our About Us page.

We hope this information empowers you to successfully sell your phone number.
