Transferring your LINE account when you can't receive text messages

Copied

If you can't receive text messages or phone calls (e.g. because you're using a data-only plan or a SIM card provided by a carrier other than LINE Mobile, or you don't have a contracted phone number), you can transfer your LINE account using one of the methods below.

Transfer your account with an easy transfer QR code
To use an easy transfer QR code, you need to be able to log in to your LINE account and have both your previous device and the new device you want to transfer the account to.

Using this method will transfer the last 14 days of your chat history, even if you don't back up your chats in advance.
Note:
- To transfer more than the last 14 days of your chat history, you need to back up your chat history in advance and transfer your account to a device with the same OS as before (Android to Android/iPhone to iPhone).
- If you can no longer use your old device, there will be no way to transfer your chat history to a device with a different OS.
