Most Common Spectrum Mobile Issues

Missing Essential Porting Information		Port Activation Not Completed
Spectrum Mobile may omit required fields since they are not always visible on their standard port form.  Confirm they include:  Authorization Name (also called "Agency Authorization Name") Authorization Date (also called "Agency Authorization Date") Wireline-to-wireless port designation.  If these fields are left blank, Spectrum's carrier (Verizon) will return an automated error blocking the port submission.  These fields may need to be entered manually by a supervisor, Tier 2 agent, or someone in the Mobile Device and Activation department who has access to Spectrum's porting carrier, Syniverse.		After NumberBarn approves the port, Spectrum Mobile may not automatically activate it on the scheduled date.  If the number has not ported on the date provided, contact Spectrum Mobile and ask them to "activate" your number to complete the port request. ➡️ Reach out to Spectrum Mobile proactively on the expected port date to confirm completion.
➡️ Contact the Spectrum Mobile Porting Team directly and confirm that all fields from Port Away Credentials 📖 AND the list above are submitted with the Port Request.
