If you're using a second number app like Google Voice, Sideline, or Quo, you can easily transfer your existing number to M1. Ensure your number is unlocked with your current provider before starting the porting process.

To port your number, start by contacting M1 support through the chat feature, and let them know you'd like to port your number. You'll then need to prepare required documents and share them with the M1 team.

The porting process usually takes about 1-2 weeks, but is often completed in about one week. There's no disruption in service while your number is being ported. Numbers with data plans are not supported for porting.

If your number is with a traditional carrier, you can use call forwarding and customize your caller ID through the M1 app. To set it up, enable call forwarding and set your caller identity in M1.

Here are some tips for a smooth porting process:

  • Double-check that all submitted documents are legible
  • Verify that your name and number match on all ownership documents
  • Make sure your numeric PIN is set and ready
  • Follow up with M1 support if you don't receive updates within the expected timeline
