What is Number Porting?
VoIP
Your company's phone number is a constant. Customers know it, have it saved, and it's likely printed on your marketing materials, making a change inconvenient.
Understandably, you want to keep your number! Fortunately, you don't have to stay with your current phone service provider to do so. You can port your number.
What is number porting?
Number porting is the process of transferring your phone number from your previous provider to a new phone service provider. You continue using your familiar phone number, but behind the scenes, your phone service provider changes.
Government regulations ensure this process, known as number portability, is available. For your customers, it's seamless, and for you, the transition is hassle-free.

Frequently asked questions:
We can port your phone number on your requested date, keeping in mind any existing contractual obligations you have with your existing service provider. It's best to check your contract terms with them directly, as we don't have access to that information.
No. Telecom operators manage number porting through a shared platform. Simply provide us with your desired porting date, and we will handle the technical transfer on that day.
Yes, it's crucial to inform your current provider that you are switching service providers. This prevents them from blocking the transfer. We recommend sending a written cancellation via registered post for your records. We don't use authorization forms for cancellation because we need direct confirmation from you that you are authorized to terminate the services.
Please request the end date of your contract directly from your current provider, as we do not have access to this detail.
Not necessarily. If you haven't cancelled your service with your old provider, or if you've requested the port to coincide with the end of your contract, the transfer will occur at that later date.
The most efficient approach is to request a new phone number from us and set up a message on your old number informing callers of your new contact details.
