# What is a Port Out Code?
A Port out Code is a unique code generated for each Virtual Mobile Number. This code exists to ensure nobody else can port your mobile number.
Port-out codes remove the need for Crazytel to store your birthday information.

To get your Port Out Code, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Crazytel MyAccount Portal
2. From the navigation menu on the left-hand side, click **Number Management**, then **Manage Phone Numbers**
3. Locate the mobile number you want to port away from Crazytel, and click **Manage** under actions
4. On the **Details** tab, locate the **Port out code** section. Copy the 8-digit code.

# How to Use Your Port Out Code

When porting your Virtual Mobile Number away from Crazytel, submit the port as a **Post Paid** account type. Enter the **Port Out Code** as the account number.
