In some countries you can tell the postal service that you're moving and, for set period of time, they'll forward the mail addressed to you from your old postal address to your new one. It's very useful for catching all those places you didn't remember to update your address for when moving.
You can do the same with email by setting up an forwarding rule on your old email address so that it forwards on any emails it recieves to your new email address.
- Leftium 2y agoYes, that's why I said email and snail mail portability are about the same. OP's question was about portability like phone numbers where you can keep using your old phone number indefinitely after "moving" to a new provider.
