Port type

  • Direct Exchange Line (DEL) Ports:

DEL ports are Simple ports. Tick this option for ports that include Telephone Services such as single-line PSTN services.

  • Direct Inward Dialling/Direct Dialling Inwards (DID/DDI) Ports:

DID/DDI ports are Complex ports. Tick this option for Ranges, DiDs that have complex services associated. It refers to a Telecommunications Service which enables a caller to call directly a user on a PABX or other private system without the need for intervention or assistance by an Operator or other attendant.
​Please note: if you wish to port a block you must port the full range or disassociate the numbers you wish to port. The end user will need to refer to their existing Operator with regard to disassociating numbers from the number block.

Once a porting date has been confirmed with the losing provider, if a change in date and time is required, the change must be confirmed no less than 72 business hours (SGT) before the scheduled cutover window.
