Will calls still forward while my number is porting away?

In this article:

You want to know, "Can I use call forwarding features while my number is in the port-out process?" Maybe you just bought a number and you're eager to start using it, or maybe you're ready to get your parked number back in the game. Either way, we have good news! You can port your number away on any plan.

Ideally, as long as you keep your NumberBarn service active, and you have all of your service ready to go with your new carrier, you should experience minimal downtime during the port out process. You should just notice that NumberBarn forwarding stops working right about when your new service starts working. We can't guarantee that the transition will be seamless but that's the typical experience.
