Phone Number Porting


Phone number porting is an industry standard process that allows customers to freely move their phone number or numbers between providers. The number porting process covers all kinds of phone numbers, these include:

  •   Porting 0800 Numbers
  •   Porting 0845 Numbers
  •   Porting 0844 Numbers
  •   Porting 0871 Numbers
  •   Porting Geographic numbers (UK 01 or 02 Numbers)

As the number porting process is standardised all providers have to adhere to certain procedures which protect you as an end user. Porting a number to us will NOT result in any down time of your number as it is a seamless process. If the porting process is followed correctly then it should only take between 7 to 10 days to port a number. Some of the suppliers that we have ported from in the past have managed to extend this process to 30 days but this will be the maximum time.
