Prepare the destination before moving the number
A number port transfers control of a telephone number from one provider to another. Matching account details, complete authorization, open service, and a ready call flow all help prevent avoidable delays or rejected requests.

- Confirm account name, address, and authorized signer
- Check portability and special services
- Build and test the destination call flow
- Submit and track the port request
- Verify calls before cancelling old service
Avoid premature cancellation
The losing-carrier account generally must remain active while the port is pending. We recommend closing old service only after the completed move is tested.
Plan for non-voice devices
Fax machines, alarms, door systems, postage meters, medical devices, and analog lines may need a separate solution rather than a standard VoIP port.

Frequently asked questions
We will confirm the specifics for your location, numbers, network, and service order.
Can every business phone number be ported?
Most active numbers can be ported, but availability depends on the number, current carrier, rate center, account status, and destination provider. We verify before committing to a date.
What information is needed to port numbers?
Usually a recent bill, service address, account number, authorized signer, list of numbers, and a signed letter of authorization are required.
Should we cancel our old phone service first?
No. Keep the old account active until the numbers have ported and calling has been verified. Early cancellation may cause a loss of service or numbers.
