If you want to keep your number - but migrate to a different carrier - then yes.

You ask your current provider for your Port Authorisation Code (PAC). The PAC basically gives the new carrier 'permission' to used your number with their network. Give the PAC to your new provider - who will set your existing number up on their network.
