- To obtain a Customer Service Record (CSR), you’ll need to contact your current carrier, and you may need to ask for your carrier’s Porting Team. Please specify that you want the customer service record on file with the carrier, not merely your billing records. In many cases, the billing record and the customer service record will have the same information, but this is not necessarily going to be the case. Therefore, it’s best to ask specifically for the CSR.

Port number to NumberBarn and park it. Starts at $2/mo. You can customize outgoing message.
- Parking service ($4/mo.) is more expensive than Number Barn ($2/mo.).
- Crappy looking website. $3/mo. parking with no apparent option to customize the "parked" message.
