NumberBarn

They secured two very appropriate local numbers for our mobile phones at a reasonable price. Took a few days to secure them, but once we had them, the porting took less than 48 hours to two diferent MVNOs. Had a snag with one of them, but NumberBarn was very quick to provide the needed information and help. Great service that I never knew existed. Thank you!

Not Worth The Trouble. Lackadaisical Customer Service.

The ordering process is clumsy and somewhat defective. If there is a problem with creating your account, you won't be notified. If there is a problem with your order you won't be notified. Presumably, you could go for days before figuring out (on your own) that your order won't be fulfilled. Such occured in my case.

For those lucky enough to acquire per their order, great. But I would bet a bunch of folks don't get what they were after. And one more point... if they screw up (which in my case they did), they won't apologize, they won't try to fix the issue. Heck, they won't even offer. Hence my use of the word "Lackadaisical" above. They just don't seem to care. I find this to be true of a number of California companies I've dealt with recently.

So if vanity is your thing and worth the ridiculous hassle, go for it. Myself, there are other more important fish to fry. This company gets the boot, in my opinion.

I wanted to port a number from them, they did exactly what I wanted. I needed help with Xfinity mobile and they told me exactly what to do. The support team sent me Amanda to help and she was professional and helped me through until my number was ported over. It was easy and very inexpensive. They didn't charge me for anything else. I was able to pick my number and then I sent it over to Xfinity with all the information that NumberBarn told me to send them. They helped me through email while I was on the phone with Xfinity Mobile trying to get it ported. It was a good experience and I know if I need this again, where to go. My number was ported over on the 5th of February, 2024 and it was in my phone by the 7th. Thanks for all your help and keeping it professional. I will come back again if I need another number.

I am using this place for all my phone number needs of my entire family.

Was able to buy vanity number at a reasonable price and port out to my Canadian service providers without any hassle.

If the information submitted are in order, they are releasing the numbers in lesser time.

Many of the providers here are not familiar with porting land lines. That makes the process bit hard occasionally.

Overall great place for custom numbers.

Great service from NumberBarn. Rates are cheap to park your number. SMS still works for the same price. I had issues with SMS though but their support was incredible and fixed the problem. Will use it everytime I~m out of the country. Thx!

Take weeks to reply, doesn't have a customer support number, still being charge the full year although I didn't use the service and requested refund because they took too long to reply to the cancellation request. Highly do NOT recommend using this service what so ever. Use Verizon One Talk.

Found a great # and bought it. I had a lot of questions about porting over to a new Cell Company. They answered all my silly questions. After I signed up with my Cell company and had trouble getting them to post the "wire" line over customer support at Number Barn helped so much.

I am thankful I bought from them and not from another company. NB seems to want to earn you business. They have from me for sure.

Prompt responses and frequently updated by customer service. This is a great value, super cheap but full of features like sending and receiving photos, texts and phone calls (set up the e911 service! Otherwise calling will give an error)

It's hard to trust sites these days, especially with phone numbers that cost hundreds of dollars for a vanity number. But look no further these guys were 100% professional and attended to any questions I had. I have sense ported out my number with no issues to my cell phone carrier. Cannot say enough good things. I'll use them in future.

New, but so far great service and customer support with fast email responses! Porting of my number was super fast and easy! Unlike my old port and forward service, this one has a call log which I appreciate and use. Thanks!

I haven't been with Numberbarn very long, but so far so good. I think it's great you can park a number for as long as you like for future use without having to get an expensive cell provider just to keep that number. Customer response has been quick. They display all customer FAQ quite well on their website. I only ported one number out so far and it went fast and smooth. I see what they mean by a port request expiring after a few days. I had an issue with T-mobile having trouble with a port expiring before the port can go through. You do need to ask for extra days on the port sometimes because the automated system will kick it out. I don't think most customers give this company a chance and understand the porting process can be different in every situation. I hope Numberbarn is around a long time.

Stay away from number barn if you want to park your number for a few months. They say you will get all your texts on the app but this is not true. I received 3 texts over 6 months. They could not find the problem. Would not refund me any of my money. When I needed to port out the number to a new provider it was very difficult and took over a month. When a number is parked it is considered a land line and mobile providers do not like this. Their app does not work properly. Avoid them.

Overall these guys did a great job. Purchased and ported about 12 numbers.

The Bad: You should know upfront that porting is SLOW, even though its VOIP other VOIP providers such as broadband.com manage to port within minutes so I don't understand why number barn can't, but maybe it is truly out of there control. They should also update their website to say ports happen in 5-7 days instead of 3 - 5 because based on my conversations with the winning carrier they demand 5 days as a minimum so why advertise 3-5 days if your going to require 5 as a minimum.

The Good: Prices are good, number availability is awesome, and customer service is responsive and fast.

My wish list: speed up porting and lower the monthly cost for your various plans, especially for folks with multiple numbers.

Overall, I recommend them without hesitation.

I paid for a Vanity phone number for my new business I am starting. My wireless phone company has been trying to port the phone number to their system but have been unsuccessful for over a week and a half. They told me it was Number Barn's fault at which point I reached out. The owner of Number Barn was nice enough to call me and stay on hold with my phone company which took almost two hours to get it sorted out. Great service! Thanks Guys

Beyond happy with this company, bought a phone number on 4/19. Emailed customer support to clarify a few questions I had on 4/20, got the info that I needed and ported. My phone with the new number was active in less than 15 minutes. Absolutely no hassle.

Cheap phone bills, techs I've never seen anywhere else before (conventional big telecommunication companies or smaller similar virtual phone companies). I almost didn't want to post this to recommend them because I just want to keep this to myself.

Numberbarn took our phone number of 20 years after our credit card expired. They did email us, but we missed the message and they took our phone number and sold it to someone else! They could have called! What a scam!

Sons birthday and I got him a local easy to remember #.
2 weeks before i needed his # to be ported over the request was put in with ATT and it keeps getting rejected. I get distracted with work and then 7 days before his birthday we figure out the company the # was coming from had all these crazy restrictions. Including a 10 day waiting period. I reach out to number barn and start working with Kylie. She calls ATT, she calls the company that owns the #. Makes it work in TIME! Considering what I paid for a phone # she did'nt have to do that! But she did. I was really surprised, AND she was super sweet and in constant contact the entire process. AWESOME! Thank you

My daughter is out of the country for 8 months and we wanted to save her number. This service is exactly what we wanted. Prices are very fair, customer service is outstanding and they know everything about number porting. Very professional. Wish I had more occasion to need to use it. Love.

Their service is excellent!
I couldn't believe by paying $10 and a call to my cell phone provider, I can have an excellent phone number with the same plan, device, and even sim card!
Although they don't provide a phone number for customer service, their communication by email is perfect: quick response, comprehensive and detailed. I strongly recommend it.

I was hesitant to cancel my old unused home phone service. I've had the number for 12 years! We rarely used it and it was getting expensive to keep. NumberBarn was cheap and I was surprised at how easy it was to sign up and transfer my number. So far notifications work great, I'm saving over $40 a month and I don't get all those spam telemarketer calls anymore.

Nothing was smooth, they destroy you in charges not discussed in the porting. Nothing is selling and they made it sound like they are advertising like crazy when in fact they are not putting in any effort so they can continue to rob you with all kinds of charges. They absolutely will not take a phone call and says it saves us money. I am stuck paying hundreds a month for nothing.

I have been trying to port my numbers over to Number barn for over a month with no success. They will no give you a phone number to actually contact them. They are a total waste of any bodies time. GO somewhere else
