Transfer Your Cell Phone Number to Save Money
If your 2023 goal is to save money or pay down debt, we’re going to share a shortcut that will let you save money on your cell phone every month.
When people consider ways they can save money on their cell phone, they usually look at options that would involve switching providers, losing their current cell phone number, and basically shaving a few cents off their bill. (Not helpful, IMHO.)
But what if we told you there was an easy way to …
- Keep using your regular cell phone number
- Get a bunch of features free (voicemail, forwarding, etc.)
- Pay a much cheaper cell phone bill
The solution is simple: Transfer your cell phone number to Hushed.
BENEFIT #1: You get to keep your existing phone number
Like most people, you’ve probably had your cell phone number for a while. You’re pretty attached to it, right? It’s on file so many places, it would be a pain to change it. And what if you forgot about a place, and then they had no way to contact you ever again? What a mess! We get that.
Here at Hushed, we make it easy to port your number to our service. We can accept ported mobile numbers from Canadian, U.S., and United Kingdom providers, and it’s completely free.
Just like mainstream cell providers allow you to port phone numbers (or transfer phone numbers) back and forth as needed, Hushed also lets you port an existing phone number to become a Hushed number.
BENEFIT #2: You get tons of great FREE features
Other providers may charge you extra for voicemail, but Hushed accounts include lots of free phone services:
- Calling
- Texting
- Custom voicemail
- Call forwarding
- Call routing
- Auto-reply messages
- Using multiple devices
- Using multiple phone numbers
Hushed numbers run over the internet, so they aren’t affected during carrier outages. While Hushed phone numbers don’t include mobile data, our sister company, aloSIM, can hook you up with prepaid mobile data packages if you want to stay connected during times you’ll be without a Wi-Fi connection.
BENEFIT #3: Hushed provides cheap cell phone plans
It’s shocking how much money some people pay mainstream carriers just for having a monthly cell phone plan. Depending on your carrier and what your package includes, you may pay $50 or $60 a month for something you’re barely using.
If you’ve been around the block (a.k.a. you’re an Elder Millennial, Gen-Xer, or Boomer who’s had a cell phone plan for ages), you probably remember when cell phone plans were cheap. That’s because basic calling and texting doesn’t cost much! Things changed when mobile data came into the picture, and suddenly carriers were forcing us to pay for deluxe cell phone plans because our fancy phones “needed” them, and we weren’t allowed to have a basic plan anymore.
Here at Hushed? We don’t care if your phone is brand-spankin’ new, or so old that it’s held together with duct tape. As long as you can download the Hushed app, you can choose any cell phone plan you’d like. (Psssst! Cell phone plans start at $1.99, so you’ll save a bundle.)
