How number porting works

We've made porting as simple as possible. Most customers complete the process in under 10 minutes of their time.

1

Submit your port request

Tell us your number(s) and current carrier. We'll send you a simple Letter of Authorization (LOA) to sign — takes 5 minutes.

2

We handle the paperwork

Zonitel submits the port request to your current carrier on your behalf. No calls to your carrier, no hold music, no hassle.

3

Carrier processes the port

Porting commonly takes 5–10 business days and varies by carrier. Keep the old service active until the scheduled cutover.

4

Your number goes live on Zonitel

The moment your number ports, it's live on Zonitel with all your features: call routing, voicemail, SMS, analytics — everything ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does number porting take with Zonitel?

Number porting commonly takes 5–10 business days, but timing varies by losing carrier, number type, account validation, and order complexity. Zonitel coordinates the request and keeps you updated.

Will I lose service during the port?

Keep your current phone service active until the scheduled cutover. Zonitel coordinates the transfer to minimize interruption, but carrier-controlled timing means uninterrupted service cannot be guaranteed.

Can I port multiple numbers at once?

Yes. Zonitel supports bulk porting of multiple numbers simultaneously. Whether you have 2 lines or 200, our porting team manages the entire process as a single coordinated transfer.

Is there a fee to port my number to Zonitel?

Number porting is free with any Zonitel plan. There are no porting fees, setup fees, or hidden charges.

What information do I need to port my number?

You'll need your current carrier's account number, the billing name and address on the account, and a recent bill. Zonitel's team will guide you through gathering these documents.

Can I port a toll-free number?

Yes. Zonitel supports porting of all toll-free prefixes including 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, and 833. Toll-free ports typically complete in 3–5 business days.

What if my port request is rejected?

Port rejections are rare and usually happen due to a mismatch in account information. If your port is rejected, our team will identify the issue, correct it, and resubmit at no additional cost.
