  7. What Can You Do To Prepare? • Contact your Verizon Wireless Account Manager for port requests over 25 lines or VIP port requests. • Communicate within your company that only authorized personnel are able to make changes to your company’s accounts, including porting. • Have your old service provider information available to ensure accuracy in the data relayed to Verizon Wireless (i.e. copy of OSP current bill, passwords). • Do not cancel service with your old provider before requesting to port in to Verizon Wireless - cancelled numbers are not eligible to be ported. • Submit a request to OSP to remove all number blocks and passwords at both the account level and the line level.
