Porting to an employee account
Ok I understand that all employees can (finally) add and remove features etc and even add a line to a family share plan on the "My Verizon" web site.
So if I want to add a family share line to a relative's account, I knw we can do it on the web and poof by magic, the ESN is activated, we do a *228 and the phone works.
Now for the tough question: How do I port my existing phone numner (in the same name as the employee) to be ported to that phone? I know in the stores there is a porting procedure but how do you do it on an employee account? Call Employee accounts?
Northeast region.
Thanks

Easiest way I've found is to add a line through my verizon and get issued a temporary number.

And make sure when you call you have all the old service providers account info i.e. Account number, billing address, password/pin, and account holders ssn.

Read the employee phone program website. The employee phone team is unable to initiate ports. You are supposed to have the line ported in at a store and then call employee customer service to have them move the line into your employee account.

An employee customer service rep should know this.
I had to do this myself last year. The reason why you want to use your own equipment is to avoid running into any phone restrictions. I let my fiancee buy a Dare when employees weren't allowed to have them, and she had to return it so I could AOL the line into my account, or she was going to have to wait a year before I...

I ported 3 lines from a sprint account to my employee account about 6 months ago.. I started by getting temp numbers and new phones via the EPP then had to complete a form to have the LNP TNC completed... Took about 3 days to complete once I submitted the form...

Weird, but good to hear. I ported in that number sometime last summer.
It used to be so much easier. And cheaper. My first employee account was 500 minutes for $12.50. I added m2m or n&w at some point and it went up to $17.50.
