Port your number to Voipcom, no downtime, no fees
Switching providers shouldn’t mean changing the number your customers know. Voipcom handles phone number porting end to end — local, toll-free, and fax numbers — and keeps your current service live until the moment the port completes, so there’s no gap and no scramble.
How it works
From first call to fully handled
No rip-and-replace projects. We meet your stack where it is.
Submit & validate
You give us the numbers and a recent bill; we validate account details and file the port request with your current carrier.
Schedule the cutover
The carrier confirms a port date. Your existing service keeps working the entire time, so there’s no gap in coverage.
Go live & confirm
On the scheduled day the numbers activate on Voipcom. We test inbound and outbound and confirm the port is complete.
Why it matters
Your number is an asset — don’t give it up to switch
Your phone number is on every business card, truck wrap, Google listing, and customer phone. Losing it to change providers is a real cost: missed calls, broken marketing, and the slow bleed of people who can’t reach you.
Number portability is your legal right, and porting is routine when it’s done correctly. We file the paperwork, validate the details that trip ports up, schedule the cutover, and confirm completion — so the only thing your customers notice is that you answer.

What is phone number porting?
Phone number porting (also called number portability) is the process of moving an existing phone number from one carrier or provider to another while keeping the number exactly the same. It’s how you switch to a better phone system without reprinting cards, updating every listing, or telling customers to dial something new.
Behind the scenes, your new provider submits a port request to your current carrier with details that have to match precisely — account number, PIN or passcode, and the service address on file. When they match, the carriers coordinate a cutover date and the number activates on the new system. Most failed ports come down to a mismatch in those details, which is exactly what our pre-port validation is for.
What we offer
Every kind of number, ported cleanly
If your customers dial it, we can almost certainly bring it with you.
Local Number Porting
Bring your existing local business numbers across carriers with no change to the digits customers know.
Toll-Free Number Porting
Move 800/888/877 and other toll-free numbers without losing the national presence you’ve built.
Fax Number Porting
Port the fax numbers your referral partners and carriers have on file straight onto Voipcom eFax.
Mobile & Landline Migration
Move numbers off old PBXs, landlines, or cell plans onto one modern business phone system.
Pre-Port Validation
We check account numbers, PINs, and service addresses up front — the details that cause most port rejections.
Scheduled, Confirmed Cutover
You pick the date; we coordinate with the losing carrier and confirm the moment the port is live.
The difference
Porting done wrong vs done right
Most “porting horror stories” come from skipped validation and bad scheduling.

FAQ
Common questions
How do I port a telephone number to Voipcom? +
Send us the numbers you want to port and a recent bill from your current carrier. We validate the account details, file the port request, and schedule a cutover date with you. Your existing service keeps working until the number goes live on Voipcom.
How long does porting a telephone number take? +
Simple local ports typically complete in about 1–2 weeks; toll-free and more complex ports can take a little longer. The timeline is set by the losing carrier and regulators, not by us — we file immediately so the clock starts on day one.
Does porting a phone number cost anything? +
Voipcom doesn’t charge porting fees to bring your numbers in. Your current provider may have its own early-termination terms; we’ll flag anything we see on your bill before you commit.
Will my phones stop working during the port? +
No. Your existing service stays active the entire time and only switches over on the scheduled cutover, so there’s no window where calls go unanswered.
Can I port toll-free and fax numbers too? +
Yes. We port local, toll-free, and fax numbers. Fax numbers move straight onto Voipcom eFax so referral partners keep using the number they already have on file.
