What happens when you port your number

Once your early-access setup is ready, you use a new Numberline number while the port is pending. Your existing number takes over once the port completes.

Your current service keeps working until the transfer completes, and we tell you when it is done. Only the provider behind your number changes; the number your customers call stays the same.

What you need before you start

Five details from your current provider. They must match its records exactly.

Leave your existing service active until the port completes. Cancelling early can release the number and cause the port to fail. We tell you when it is done.

Porting questions

Can I keep my business phone number when I switch?
Yes. Number porting moves your existing number to Numberline. Only the provider behind it changes, so customers keep reaching you at the same number after you switch.
Does my number stop working during a port?
In the normal process, no. Leave your existing service active until the port completes: your current service keeps working until the transfer goes through, and the number stays reachable throughout. Numberline also gives you an active number to use in the meantime, and we tell you when the port is done. Porting does not complete texting approval: business texting on the ported number starts once the required registration for your business is approved.
How long does number porting take?
It varies by carrier and number type. Simple wireless ports can move quickly, while landline and toll-free ports often take longer because more validation is involved. The timeline is set by your current provider, not by Numberline, so we do not promise a fixed number of days. We tell you when it is done.
When should I cancel my old service?
Only after the port has completed and we have confirmed it, never before. Cancelling early can release the number and cause the port to fail.
Can I port a landline?
Landline numbers can often be ported, though they usually take longer than wireless numbers because carriers do more validation. Whether a specific number can port depends on the current carrier.
Can I port a number from Google Voice?
Numbers held in Google Voice can generally be moved to another provider, though the exact steps depend on how the number is held. Have your account details ready and keep the number active until the port completes.
What happens if a port request is rejected?
The most common cause is information that does not match the current carrier’s records exactly, such as the account number, passcode, or billing address. Correct the mismatched detail and resubmit. Your number stays on your current service while you do, so keep that service active.
