Your phone number is obtained from the wireless provider you

have a contract with. No phone number comes with an iPhone nor

is an iPhone restricted to just one phone number once service is

started.


Look at a past bill from your wireless provider. Ask a friend/relative/co-worker

what number they use to call you.


If you let your contract lapse or it was cancelled, there may be no number

assigned to your iPhone and therefore no number to port.


If this is not what you are asking, provide more information so someone

may offer a solution.
