Utilize local number porting to switch your number from Nextel to Boost.
Switching your Nextel number to a Boost Mobile account is called local number porting. Porting your number is a process governed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It allows you to switch your number to another carrier within the same geographic area. Porting your number to Boost requires that you submit a number portability request, which Boost Mobile can complete.
Instructions
1. Contact the Boost Mobile customer service department at 866-402-7366 and follow the prompts to speak with a representative.
2. Inform the representative of your intent to port your Nextel number to their company.
3. Provide the representative with your name, billing address and Nextel account number when told to do so.
4. Wait for the representative to process your number portability request. Contact the Boost customer service department in three to seven days to verify that they have activated your number.
