Number Porting

Transfer Your Phone Numbers to VoipPlus

Keep your existing business phone numbers when you switch to VoipPlus. We handle the porting process for you.

Required Documents

What Do You Need to Port Your Numbers?

Gather these items before starting the porting process to avoid delays.

Customer Service Record (CSR)

Request a CSR from your current provider. This document shows your account details exactly as they appear in their system.

Call your current provider and ask for a "CSR" or "Customer Service Record." Most provide this within 1-2 business days.

Letter of Authorization (LOA)

We provide the LOA form for you to sign. This authorizes VoipPlus to port your numbers from your current carrier.

The name on the LOA must exactly match your current account name.

Recent Phone Bill

A copy of your most recent phone bill helps verify account information and shows all numbers on your account.

PDF or clear photo of the bill is acceptable.

List of Numbers to Port

Provide all phone numbers you want to transfer: main line, fax, direct numbers, and toll-free numbers.

You can port some numbers and leave others with your current provider if needed.

Important

Things to Know About Porting

Don't Cancel Your Old Service

Keep your current service active until the port completes. Canceling early will release your numbers and you may lose them.

Exact Name Match Required

The name on your LOA must exactly match your current account. "ABC Corp" vs "ABC Corporation" can cause rejection.

No Porting Fees

VoipPlus does not charge fees to port your numbers. Your old carrier may charge an early termination fee if under contract.

Minimal Downtime

Porting is designed to be seamless. There may be seconds to minutes of transition, but extended downtime is rare.

Your Right to Port

Carriers cannot refuse a valid port request (FCC regulated). They can reject for information mismatches, which we help resolve.
