Now that I got the hardware, I need a number for it. My beeper number will not transfer over.
A friend recommended Helium Mobile for $15 a month. But they talk about porting over your old number. I never had a mobile number. I MUST have one with Atlanta area codes- 404, 770, 678, and I think 470. Otherwise my wife cannot call me from our land line.
How did I get a new phone number assigned with one of these area codes? Helium Mobile says nothing about it on their website.
As is typical of low-cost companies, talking to a human about a matter like this is virtually impossible. They have yet to respond to an e-mail.
Henrius, I have been very happy with Visible, the low cost carrier owned by Verizon. When you establish an account with them they assign you a number. I am assuming with an area code you want.
Thank you for that. Have not heard of Visible, and not ranked in Consumer Reports. $20 a month as opposed to $15, but the $20 includes all taxes.
Pick a carrier and request a new number with an Atlanta area code during signup, or contact support to assign 404, 770, 678, or 470.
