Important Items to Note:

  1. Due to the need to communicate with your originating carrier to port a number, standard turnaround for a port request is typically 10 working days (5 for the port verification and 5 for the actual port). FaktorTel has no control over these timelines, as they are set by legislation and the response time of the originating carrier, and therefore cannot guarantee any time frame.

  2. If your number is connected to a DSL (ADSL) service and you port that number to VOIP (FaktorTel) your DSL service may be cut off and will not be able to be put back on until the number is ported away from FaktorTel. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT port a number that is connected to a DSL (ADSL) service.

  3. By porting the above telephone number(s), the service associated with that telephone number is disconnected from the existing Service Provider’s network and may result in finalization of the account for that service.
    Please do not disconnect your number before commencing the porting process

  4. Although you have the right to port the telephone number(s), there may be costs and obligations imposed by your current Service Provider associated with the port which may include early termination fees and porting fees. Please check this with your existing carrier before submitting a port request.

  5. Not all numbers can be ported, FaktorTel will attempt to port your number, however in some circumstances the port may be rejected by the holding carrier.

  6. Porting your DID from another VSP may not work, and in most circumstances will not unless we have a bilatteral agreement with their carriers which may or may not hold the number.
