Overview

Porting your Verizon phone numbers to Quo requires a transfer PIN that expires after 7 days and account numbers that vary significantly based on your plan type. Verizon has different account number formats for mobile, business, and government accounts. Depending on the carrier, most ports are completed in 3-7 business days. In rare cases, the porting process may take additional time (but your service is uninterrupted).

Special considerations for iPhone users

When porting from an iPhone, you must deactivate iMessage and FaceTime to ensure all messages and calls route correctly to Quo.

​

  2. Tap Messages
  3. Tap Send & Receive
  4. Uncheck your ported number in You can be reached by iMessage at

​
Remove from FaceTime

  2. Tap FaceTime
  3. Uncheck your ported number in You can be reached by FaceTime at
If messages still aren’t routing correctly, you may need to deregister iMessage completely.

​
Special considerations for Android users

​
Disable RCS before porting your number

Quo uses SMS and MMS for text messaging. If your number still has an active RCS registration when it ports, other RCS-capable devices will continue trying to send you messages via RCS instead of SMS and those messages won’t be delivered. The RCS cache can take up to 30 days to expire on its own.
If your phone number is registered for RCS messaging (the default on most Android devices), you must disable RCS before your number ports to Quo.If you wait until after the port, the de-registration cannot be completed from your device.

​
Disable RCS from Google Messages

  1. Open the Google Messages app
  2. Tap your profile picture → Messages settings
  3. Tap RCS chats
  4. Toggle off Turn on RCS chats
  5. Wait for confirmation that RCS has been turned off

​
Disable RCS from Samsung Messages

  1. Open the Samsung Messages app
  2. Tap ⋮ (three dots) → Settings
  3. Tap Chat settings or RCS chats
  4. Toggle off Rich Communication Settings
Do this while the number is still active on your phone — once the transfer to Quo is in progress and the number leaves your device, you can no longer deregister.

​
Restart group conversations

Group conversations will not automatically convert to SMS/MMS, even after RCS is disabled. Your contacts will need to delete the old group conversation thread on their devices and create a new one for you to reliably receive messages to Quo.
