How porting works.

Four steps, and we do three of them.

Step 1

You send a bill copy

A recent invoice from your current provider shows the account number and service address exactly as the losing carrier has them — the #1 source of port delays is a mismatch here.

Step 2

You sign the LOA

The Letter of Authorization gives us permission to move the number on your behalf. Two minutes, electronic signature.

Step 3

We work the port

We submit to the losing carrier, chase rejections, and confirm a Firm Order Commitment (FOC) date. You'll get status updates — not silence.

Step 4

Cutover day

Calls start arriving on fvoip, usually mid-morning. Your call flows are already built and tested, so the switch is a non-event. Then — and only then — cancel the old service.

Timelines & the fine print.

  • Local numbers: 3–10 business daysSimple single-number ports often complete near the low end; multi-line accounts take longer.
  • Toll-free numbers: 10–15 business daysToll-free moves between RespOrgs on its own track.
  • No service gapYour current line keeps working until the port completes. We can also give you a temporary number on day one.
  • Your number stays yoursUnder FCC rules a carrier can't refuse a port because of an outstanding balance — and if you ever leave fvoip, we release your numbers freely.

Why ports get rejected (and how we prevent it)

Nearly every rejection is a data mismatch: account number, service address, authorized name, or a port-out PIN the losing carrier requires. We pre-check your Customer Service Record against the LOA before submitting, which is why most fvoip ports clear on the first attempt.
