Understanding Port Types

DEL (Direct Exchange Line) — Simple Port

Select DEL for:

  • Single-line PSTN services

  • Standard telephone services

  • Numbers without complex features

DID/DDI (Direct Inward Dialling) — Complex Port

Select DID/DDI for:

  • Number ranges or blocks

  • Numbers with complex services

Important: If porting a number block, you must port the full range or have your current carrier disassociate the specific numbers you wish to port.
