Q. Can I transfer my landline phone number?
A. Local number portability is required by law, so you certainly should be able to transfer your landline number in the US to a Jitterbug phone.
Moreover, if you want to keep your landline and already have a cell phone, you can transfer your cell phone number instead.
You will receive information for completing a number transfer when you order your phone. You have to make sure you do NOT cancel your previous line beforehand. The number must still be in your name for the transfer to occur. If you cancel your service first, you lose your number and therefore the opportunity to transfer it.
