What is the Detroit area code?

Detroit has two area codes: 313 (the original, since 1947) and 947 (the 1997 Oakland County overlay). The suburbs use 248 (Oakland County), 586 (Macomb County), 734 (Wayne County south + Ann Arbor).

Is 313 better than 248 for the Detroit area?

313 is the original Detroit NPA covering Detroit proper, Dearborn, Hamtramck, Highland Park. 248 covers Oakland County suburbs — Royal Oak, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Pontiac, Troy.

Can I port a Michigan number to T-Mobile / AT&T / Verizon?

Yes — every major US carrier accepts Michigan local-number ports under FCC LNP rules (47 CFR Part 52).

Do I keep the Michigan number forever?

Yes. Once you buy and port the Michigan number, you own the rights to it indefinitely under FCC LNP rules.

How much does a Michigan vanity number cost?

Michigan vanity numbers start at $200 on Digit Exclusive. Premium 313 (Detroit) and 248 (Oakland County) patterns command the highest premium.

How does buying a Michigan phone number outright work?

You choose a Michigan number from our catalog, pay one time at checkout, and within 1-5 business days you receive an emailed transfer kit with the originating account number, port-out PIN (where applicable), and step-by-step port-in instructions for your destination carrier. Your carrier (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Mint Mobile, US Mobile, Google Fi, Cricket, Visible, Google Voice, etc.) is the party that actually executes the port-in under FCC Local Number Portability rules. There is no subscription from Digit Exclusive — the purchase is one-time.

Are these Michigan numbers physical landline or VoIP?

Each Michigan number in our catalog is a standard 10-digit US phone number assigned to a US area code located in Michigan. After you complete the port-in, the number lives on your destination carrier under their network type — wireless GSM/LTE if you port to AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon Mobile, wireline if you port to a landline carrier, or VoIP if you port to RingCentral / Twilio / Google Voice. The number itself is carrier-agnostic; you decide what type of line it becomes.

Will my Michigan number work for SMS, MMS, and 2FA on my destination carrier?

Yes — once your destination carrier completes the port, the number behaves as a normal US mobile or landline number for voice, SMS, MMS, voicemail, caller ID, RCS (where supported), and 911. SMS-based two-factor authentication (banking, social media, Google, Apple, etc.) works identically to any other US number. The only feature SMS may not pass through reliably is short-code messaging to/from a small number of providers during the first 24-72 hours after port — that resolves automatically once registries update.

How much does a Michigan vanity number cost?

Michigan vanity numbers in our catalog start at $200 for entry-tier numbers (basic patterns, smaller markets) and scale up to $25,000+ for ultra-premium numbers (iconic area codes, 7-of-7 repeats, perfect alphanumeric vanities). You pay once. There is no monthly fee, no renewal, no recurring charge of any kind from Digit Exclusive. You'll pay your destination carrier their normal monthly service fee — but that is for your line, not for the number itself.

What if my carrier rejects the port-in for my Michigan number?

Port rejections are uncommon and usually caused by a typo or address mismatch on the carrier's side. If your carrier rejects the port, forward the rejection notice to us — we'll review and send a corrected transfer kit at no additional cost. You then re-submit the corrected kit to your carrier. The carrier handles the actual port; our role is to make sure the transfer kit values are accurate.

Is the Michigan number really only sold once?

Yes. Every number in our catalog is one-of-one inventory. The moment a Michigan number is purchased, it is permanently removed from /collections/michigan and from the entire site. We do not resell, lease, share, or duplicate ownership of any number. Once it's yours and ported to your carrier, the number is yours alone under FCC LNP rules.
