It’s important to remember that RingCentral must submit the port request with the exact porting credentials that are listed in your NumberBarn account. Once approved, it’s the responsibility of RingCentral and their underlying carrier to complete the porting request.
Gathering your port out information

1. Make sure RingCentral can support your number
Check with RingCentral first to confirm they can port your NumberBarn number to their service. If you’re planning to port a number to them, it’s not a bad idea to check that they can support your number before even purchasing one from NumberBarn.
2. Make sure RingCentral is filling in all available fields on their port form
When submitting a port out request to RingCentral, it’s important that the request is submitted with all of the essential porting information. In addition to the porting information we mentioned earlier in this article, it’s especially critical that RingCentral includes the following information in the porting request:
