Portear un numero
El porteo de números es el proceso de transferir un número de un proveedor a otro. Si usted es un cliente de VoIP.ms y tiene un número existente con otro proveedor puede optar por transferirlo hacia la red de VoIP.ms. Números 800, Canada, Estados Unidos e Internacionales pueden ser porteados hacia esta compañía.
El departamento de LNP (Local Number Portability por sus siglas en ingles) es el encargado de manejar todo el proceso de porteo y guiar a los clientes a través de el. Este departamento también se encarga de actualizar constantemente la información para los clientes, avisandoles de cualquier avance relevante en este proceso (por ejemplo cuando será la fecha en que el numero será transferido, cuando se completara el proceso, etc.).

Verificar la disponibilidad
No todos los números de un país en especifico pueden ser porteados. El factor más importante a considerar para saber si un número puede ser porteado es la ciudad a la que pertenece. En el portal de clientes, en la sección de "DID Numbers" refierase al enlace de "DID Portability". En este enlace puede confirmar si su numero puede ser transferido, solo siga el enlace que dice "Check availability".
Importante: La tarifa para portear un número es de $25 dólares, este proceso puede tomar de 2 a 4 semanas dependiendo de la ciudad a la que pertenece el numero (esta información aplica para Estados Unidos y Canadá).
Start Procedure
Once you have verified your number can be ported, on the same link (DID Portability) click on "Start procedure" you will be presented with a process of 6 steps to initiate the port of your number.
Important: Make sure you have a scan of your latest invoice/statement in PDF, MS Word or as an Image file, SIGNED on a blank part.
Do not sign it over any lines or graphics.
After following all the steps in the process and confirmed your order, you will receive an email notification from our LNP Department, that will guide you during the entire process and provide all the necessary updates. If any additional information is required they will contact you, so you can be informed all the time.
Here you can find a detailed explanation of each step you have to follow in order to start a port request:
Requirements
Some important requirements you need to know before starting a port request:
- Make sure to provide the exact information as it is on the losing carrier's Customer Service Record. This is usually your Service Address. Please note that the service address CAN be different from your billing address. Billing addresses will usually get rejected if it's not the same as your Service Address. If you are not sure of what is the correct service information, please contact your current service provider to obtain the Customer Service Record before proceeding.
- During a regular porting process your number will be working with the losing provider, which means you need to also make sure your number is active and not scheduled for cancellation, until the port gets completed.
- If you decide to port your number, you will have to make sure that your balance covers the porting fee. Otherwise, our staff will not start the process until the balance is in a positive standing after you have submitted the port order.
- It is the customer's responsibility to contact the losing provider after the number has been completely ported to VoIP.ms in order to request to have the number or other services disconnected from them.
Canadian and USA numbers are activated on per minute plan once ported. If you would rather have it activated on flat rate, please mention it in the Notes/Comments field, on the step 5 of this port request.
What about porting out?
- If you wish to port out a number from our service you can do so at any time by making a porting request with the new provider, and give your name/address as it is listed on your VoIP.ms account.
Remember that we authorize all port outs if the information matches what is in your account, and you do not have negative balance.
Make sure to delete the DID number from your VoIP.ms Customer portal after the number has been tested fully operational with the new provider.
