Change your provider from Brightspeed to another
Here's how to transfer your Brightspeed landline number to another carrier:

- That company will contact us to initiate the transfer – or "port", in our jargon
- The new company, or provider, should confirm with you when the transfer has been completed
Note: If you have a freeze on your number, you will need to contact us to have it removed before the new carrier can transfer your number.
