Hoping someone on here can answer this.

I have 4 phones on my account that I’m moving from AT&T to T-Mobile but two of the people on the accounts don’t live with me.

I had planned, if my phone came in on launch day, to basically spend Saturday running around and porting over all the phone numbers all on the same day. Now it’s looking like I won’t get my phone until next week, maybe early and I won’t want to wait until the end of the week to port over my number. That said, I can’t do two of the numbers until a weekend.

So does anyone know what happens if I port over two of the numbers and then wait a week before porting the other two? I can’t think of why it would be an issue but I’m half afraid it’ll shut down all the phone numbers on my AT&T account or something.

I did exactly this porting my number to Verizon and my daughter’s number stayed on T-Mobile. Both accounts were under my name, so all of her stuff and device payments are still there. The only thing that has changed is that my number and account number and everything associated to that number were ported over. She’s having 0 issues still on T-Mobile.
