Geographic numbers and non-geographic numbers can be ported to a VoIP service.
Geographic numbers include, but are not limited to, numbers starting with 011, 043, 031, and 021. Non-geographic numbers starting with 0800, 0860, 0861, 0862, and 087, can also be ported to a VoIP service without difficulty.
In the past, changing telecom providers meant having to get a new phone number, which often led companies to stay with their current vendors longer than desired to avoid the disruption of updating contact information across the organization.
Number porting provides the freedom to switch communication providers without the hassle of notifying customers about a new number. From the customer’s perspective, everything remains the same, while your business enjoys the benefits of a provider that better supports your needs.
When porting numbers to a new provider, it’s essential to complete the porting process before switching services. This approach minimizes any risk of service interruption during the transition. Only once the porting is fully completed should your business cancel any existing lines with your previous provider.
