Step 1: Checking the rate center

The first step in the process of porting to NumberBarn verifies that we can support the rate center of your number.

Step 2: Account information

The information you submit with your port must match what is on file with your current service provider. If your number is resold or you're not sure what information is on file, ask your provider before submitting your port.

Step 3: Authorize your port

You'll need to authorize the number you are porting to verify ownership. Review the options for authorizing your porting request in the following article:

Options for authorizing a port-in request: Call, Text or LOA/COB

Step 4: Porting Time Frame

Porting takes anywhere from 3 to 7 business days, up to 10 business days.
