Title of the article

Designations like "landline" and "mobile" are determined by your carrier, not your phone number. Whenever you port a number into NumberBarn, it becomes a "wireline" number regardless of how it was classified before.

In short, yes! You can absolutely port in your landline phone number and use it to send and receive text messages through our website and mobile application.

The one exception is when it comes to toll-free numbers. If you'd like to text with your toll-free number, you'll need to sign up for our sister company, NumberGarage.
