The Prickly Pear is proud to bring you news articles and information from both local and national sources. We are happy to be part of the wave of citizen journalism replacing the legacy liberal media that can no longer be trusted. We are equally proud to bring our readers alternative opportunities and services we use in our daily lives.  The Prickly Pear supports Patriot Mobile Cellular and its Four Pillars of Conservative Values: the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Right to Life, and significant support for our Veterans and First Responders. When you switch to Patriot Mobile, not only do you support these causes, but most customers will also save up to 50% on their monthly cellular phone bill. 

Here at The Prickly Pear, we know that switching to a new cellular service can be challenging at times. Let’s face it, no one wants the hassle.  But that hassle is necessary if Conservatives want to support those who support them.   

Here are some helpful tips to make your switch to Patriot Mobile a smoother and more rewarding process. We want all our readers to have the opportunity to switch their mobile service and know they are getting the same major cellular network of their choice from the Big Three Network providers, with improved quality of customer service and tech support, all of which is 100% U.S.-based.    

Before porting your phone number to Patriot Mobile, ensure you have the following information available from your old carrier. This will make your switch easier and more efficient. 

• Old Carrier’s Account Number: This can be found on your wireless bill. 
• Correct Name and Address: Ensure these match exactly as they appear on your old mobile or wireless bill from your previous carrier.
• Remove Phone Number Port Lock: This is a fraud protection measure that must be removed from every phone number you wish to port. This is usually accomplished when requesting the (NTP) Number Transfer Pin. 
• Number Transfer PIN (NTP): Obtain this from your old carrier.
• Know your device IMEI. This can be found by going to your phone app as if you were going to make a call, and entering/typing *#06#

Important Notes:

If you are on a multi-service plan (e.g., cable and internet), make sure to get the WIRELESS account number.

• The name and address must match precisely to avoid transfer failure due to fraud detection.
• Failure to remove the port lock could prevent the transfer.

Many NTPs expire within 4-7 days, so obtain the NTP and start your Patriot Mobile activation as soon as possible.
