What Does It Cost?

In most cases, porting is free. Occasionally, the carrier losing the number may apply a charge. When that happens, CallnFax can advise you before proceeding.

How Long Does It Take?

Major carriers in markets such as the UK, USA, and Canada may complete a port in just a few days. Smaller markets can take longer, sometimes several weeks.

Will I Miss Calls?

The goal is a seamless transition. By preparing inbound routing before the port completes, CallnFax helps reduce disruption and keep calls flowing smoothly.

Documentation Needed

Porting is straightforward, but it does require a few documents so the losing carrier can confirm ownership and approve the move.
