When we receive a port-out request, we will send you an email notification with a link to the particular request. The emails will go to the Account owner by default.
If you expect to see port-out requests and you do not, please ensure you have access to view and/or modify Port Outs assigned to your permission set.
Please see Groups and Permission sets for instructions on how to set this up.
Once you navigate to your Port Out tab you will see a list of all Port Out requests. At a glance, you can see information such as the status, FOC date, Total TNs in the request along with the request details and winning carrier name.
You can filter by status: complete
or incomplete
You can also search by telephone number or Request # (ie. PO_a24719)
You can click on a particular request in the list to view additional details for that request.
You will see information such as:
The information submitted
Status
Winning carrier (where applicable)
Requested FOC date
TNs in request
Accepting the request
Once you have reviewed all of the information within the request you will have the ability to Accept or Reject the request.
If you accept the request, you will notice that the status will go from Pending
to Authorized
. Our team will notify the gaining carrier when an order has been approved.
Rejecting the request
If you reject the request, you will need to give a valid reason for the rejection.
You must provide a valid and reasonable reason to reject the port. If the reason is deemed invalid, the number will be ported out and you will be notified of this.
NOTE: You cannot purposely withhold a customer's number without proper authority or for billing/payment issues. If we do not receive a valid rejection reason, we may be forced to provide FOC to the gaining carrier.
No acknowledgment of Port Out request.
If a port-out request is not acknowledged with an approval or rejection, the port will automatically be approved and notice will be given to the gaining carrier.
Change in FOC date
You will receive a webhook notification if the gaining carrier requests a FOC date change on the port-out request.
NOTE: the gaining carrier is allotted a grace period of 10 days. Which means the gaining carrier can port the phone number at any point between the FOC date listed and the following 10 days. Although most port out orders will occur on the listed FOC date, there is no guarantee that it will.
Completed Port Outs
Once we have confirmed that the number(s) have ported out the corresponding port out request will show with a status of Ported Out
.
Once a number has been marked as Ported Out
it will be removed from your account immediately.
Port Out Charges
Once the port-out has been confirmed, you will be billed the port-out fee at that time. To view your port out charges, please see the Pricing section.
