I can only assume that both numbers are active mobility numbers. Are you deleting the temporary account? You will need to contact Bell mobility at: 1 800 667-0123 or dial *611 from any Bell mobile device. They will be able to complete this for you. Make sure have both devices readily available when you call them.

Good day @Dek 1,

Welcome to the Bell Community, and thanks for reaching out.

When transferring your home phone number, it can typically take a minimum of two business days to be completed. You can learn a little bit more by checking out the article we posted above, under the Home phone number portability section.

When you called us directly, did the specialist happen to provide you with any details regarding why it is taking some additional time?

Please keep us posted, and let the Community know if you need further assistance.
