A port out PIN is often required for switching your phone to another carrier. The user admits that they had been thinking about exploring US Mobile and it seems like Verizon caught onto it. One person wondered whether the company was up to something due to similar recent posts in the last few days.
Another responded and claimed that Verizon had been losing customers to T-Mobile and other alternatives at a crazy rate. Offering promotions like this is one of the avenues that Verizon is exploring to improve user retention.
But here’s the kicker: the original poster wasn’t the only person who asked for a port out PIN and received this offer within 24 hours. Another Verizon user claims to have had the same thing happen to them.
Verizon seems to be offering discounts across all voice lines — or perhaps even more — to anyone that requests their port out PIN. Now, naturally, if lots of users start doing this then the company will probably stop offering it.
But as of now this seems like an almost guaranteed method to get discounts on your Verizon lines without any downsides.
