I'm porting away. Do I need to select a monthly plan?

In this article:

Your number will need to be activated to port out to a new carrier. Selecting the NumberBarn Park or Port Away plan allows the number to be activated on our system for porting. You can port out on any plan. The Port Away plan is $0 for the first 30 days - if you can't port out in that first 30 days, not to worry. The Port Away plan will automatically convert to the Park plan for $2.99/month until you do port out. This won't interrupt your porting in any way.

Once the number has ported away, your service is automatically canceled and you will not incur any further charges.

Will I receive a credit or refund when I port away?

We will not continue to bill you or charge your credit card once your number ports away. In addition, if you port away in the middle of your billing cycle, we do not issue any prorated credits or refunds.

If you're currently on the Park Plan with Annual billing and port out in the middle of your year of billing, we can issue a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of the year. Just contact Support and we'll be happy to help with that.
