Frequently Asked Questions
What does Return With Your Number do?
We help missionaries keep their current phone number while they are serving, so they can return home with the same number they left with.
Why would I want to keep my number?
Keeping your number helps avoid updating contacts, changing accounts, and losing access to services tied to your phone number. It also makes the transition home much easier.
Will I get the exact same number back when I return?
Yes, we guarantee you’ll return home with the same phone number you had before leaving on your mission.
Do you work with all phone carriers?
Yes, we work with all domestic and some international carriers. During the signup process, we’ll verify compatibility and walk you through everything.
Is the process difficult?
Not at all. We guide you step-by-step and handle most of the process for you.
How long does setup take?
Setup timing can vary depending on your current carrier, but most transfers can be completed fairly quickly once we receive the required information.
Can we still access the number while the missionary is serving?
The number is securely maintained during the mission period so it can be returned when the missionary comes home. We also offer an option that allows parents or family members to receive texts or verification codes if access is needed while the missionary is away.
What information do I need to get started?
Typically, we’ll need the current phone number, carrier information, and some account details to complete the transfer process.
s my number safe during the mission?
Yes. Protecting and preserving your number is the entire purpose of the service.
What happens when the missionary comes home?
We help transfer the number back so the missionary can resume using their original number.
What if I need help during the process?
Our team is happy to help walk you through each step and answer any questions along the way.
Can parents handle the setup for the missionary?
Yes. In many cases, parents complete the setup process before the missionary leaves.
Will this affect contacts, iMessage, or apps?
Your phone number itself is what’s being preserved. Specific device settings and apps can vary, and we can help answer questions during setup.
How much does the service cost?
Pricing information is available during signup, and we aim to keep the process simple and transparent.
When should we start the process before leaving?
We recommend starting as early as possible before the missionary leaves to allow enough time for setup and transfer.
