During activation, you can choose to get a new number or bring over a number you already own from another wireless carrier. If you choose to **Get a new number**, you’ll enter your Service Zip Code.

After activation, [complete the steps](https://help.redpocket.com/finished-activation-time-to-setup?hsLang=en) to setup your SIM card and make your first call. ##### What numbers are available? You can choose a new wireless number from anywhere in the U.S., from Hawaii to New York. Enter the ZIP code for the region you want your number from in the **Service Zip Code** field. If your desired ZIP code isn’t available, try using a ZIP code from the nearest large city. We typically have the largest pool of available numbers in bigger cities. ##### **Can I transfer a number later if I get a new one?** Once a number is set on your RedPocket Mobile line, you’ll need to start a new line if you want to transfer a different number from another carrier. Our [support team](http://redpocket.com/contact-us) can help you with transferring a number. ##### Can I get a new number later if I transfer one? ##### Our customer service team can help replace the number on your account. While the new number can’t be transferred in from another carrier, we may be able to assign you a new RedPocket number.
