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.

• Full ranges are to be ported. If you wish to port a partial range, you will need to disassociate those numbers from the range before proceeding with porting.
• The Country code for New Zealand (64) must be included when inputting the numbers to be ported
• If the numbers are part of a sequential number range, the first number is entered in From; the last number of that range entered into
• Example Scenario: your customer wants to port over the following numbers: 6467587755, 6467587756, 6467587757, 6467573057, 6467586125, 6467586275, 6467586276, 6467586277; disconnect 6467573053
• Those numbers in red are sequential, ie: follow on from each other. The form should be completed as below:
  
• Any numbers to be disconnected/relinquished can be added to the form – you must select ‘Relinquish’ from the drop-down box in the Action column
• Please add the Total numbers to be ported

Possible Port Rejection Reasons

• Incorrect end-user name
• Number is not active
• Incorrect service address
• Incorrect or missing wholesale account number

Porting Checklist
