Overview
Porting phone numbers is one of the most infamously difficult challenges in the telecom industry. We take pride in having a very well trained LNP team that make porting as smooth as possible - but the more closely you follow this guide, the smoother the poring process will be.
Filing a Successful Port
You begin the porting process when you complete this form: https://login.skyetel.com/#phone-numbers/port
**Due to the technical differences between Toll Free numbers and Local Numbers, our Port In form will require you to submit those separately.

Timing & FOC dates
One of the most common questions our LNP team get asked is how quickly ports usually happen. There is no easy answer to this question. Some carriers are very easy to port numbers away from while others are very difficult. On average, we generally expect a smooth port to take 7-10 business days. Difficult ports can take up to a month or more. This is especially true of numbers being ported in Canada. Our northern friends do everything in their power to keep their numbers for as long as possible.

In order to keep the porting process as smooth as possible, Skyetel's LNP team will automatically request a FOC date of 10 days in the future. This delay allows us to insure that the Port goes as smooth as possible |
