Your business numbers are an important part of how customers reach you. We help you gather the information needed for a transfer, review the existing arrangements and coordinate the next steps. The plan considers the destination service, call routing and what needs to happen before and after the port.

For businesses changing phone providers, moving to VoIP or bringing calling into Microsoft Teams.

USEFUL ANSWERS

Can every phone number be transferred?

Transfer eligibility depends on the number and the providers involved. We check the specific numbers before confirming the proposed approach.

Should we cancel our old service first?

Coordinate cancellation with the agreed transfer plan. Ending an existing service too early can disrupt the port or affect access to the numbers.

How long will the transfer take?

Timing depends on provider processes, the number type and the accuracy of the information supplied. The plan will set out the expected steps and dependencies.
