Porting Phone Numbers

The Porting Phone Numbers section allows you to port in and out existing phone numbers to and from Phonexa.

To port in (port out) the Phone Number list, go to the System Management > Porting Phone Management > Porting Phone Numbers section and find the required list by using the filters.

Then, click the “Port in” (“Port out”) button next to the respective list in the “Action” column. Check the “Phone Numbers” and “Legal Documents” fields, and confirm the porting application by clicking the “Port in (Port out) phone numbers” button. 

Note: You can not port the phone numbers if you are missing the LOA. Also, the phone numbers that have not been validated will have the “Failed” status and will not be ported. 

The Phone Numbers list will be sent for approval. The instance owner will receive a notification confirming the acceptance of the application, which will be processed within 7 days. Another notification will be sent as soon as a decision regarding this application is made.
