Number Portability

What is number porting and how long does it take to port a number?

What is Number Porting? Number porting, also known as phone number portability, allows businesses to transfer their existing phone numbers from one service provider to another without changing the number itself. This feature is essential for businesses looking to switch providers for better features or pricing while retaining their original number. It ensures a smooth transition, helping companies maintain their existing contacts and minimizing disruptions to customer communications. CallHippo offers free number porting, enabling businesses to retain valuable connections and upgrade their communication systems without losing touch with customers. This service also allows global accessibility, so businesses can keep their numbers even when relocating internationally. The duration for porting a number can vary depending on the carrier, but it generally takes 2 to 4 weeks to complete the process once we receive the necessary documents from you. To expedite the porting process, we recommend notifying your current carrier of your intention to port your number as soon as possible. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to contact CallHippo support at support@callhippo.com.

What is Number Porting?

Number porting is the transfer of an existing phone number from your current service provider to a new service provider. Number porting enables you to maintain your current phone numbers while taking advantage of what the new service provider can offer. To start the number porting process, we require a signed copy of a letter of authorization (LOA) and an invoice from your previous service provider to prove ownership of the number and facilitate between the old and new service providers. Can I port my Google Voice number? Yes, you can. First, you need to unlock your Google Voice number. Then send us a screenshot of the unlocked number as a proof of your ownership, instead of the phone service invoice. Please note that the first and last names you gave on the Letter of Authorization (LOA) should match what you provided in your Google Voice account profile.
