    How Long Will It Take?

    The standard lead time (SLT) for a port request is:

    • 35 business days for geographic numbers
    • 35 business days for toll-free numbers
    Note: 
    Additional time is added if there is a rejection for missing/incorrect information.

    Downtime during completion is applicable which may last between 30 minutes up to 2 hours. 

    Porting Requirements

    Number portability for all number types is available via the larger operators but not available with all operators. Please enquire with the current number operator whether porting away is possible via them.

    • The full list of phone numbers you want to port including the country code
    • The LOA must be signed by the person who has administrative rights on the account with the current carrier.
    • A Hunting Line (main number plus associated lines) this must be clearly stated on the porting documents
    • For Geographic numbers, an entire 100 number block must be ported. Single numbers and partial blocks are not allowed.

    Possible Port Rejection Reasons

    While we do our best to prevent it, it does sometimes happen that a port request is rejected. The most common rejection reasons are noted below. As you can see, details matter and this is why we ask you to triple-check all the information you provided before submitting your port request. 

    • Incorrect end-user name
    • Number is not active
    • Incorrect service address
    • Incorrect Hunting Line specification
    • Incorrect range specification

    Porting Checklist

    • LOA is filled out, dated, and signed
    • Latest invoice from current carrier
    • All numbers are active with your current carrier
    • All numbers in your account are porting over or you’ve disassociated them from the other numbers in your account with your current provider
    • You’ve provided a desired port date in compliance with the SLT (*Dialpad will do its best to meet this date but there is no guarantee.) If no date is provided we will port the numbers ASAP.
