Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the porting process take?
The porting process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on your current carrier and number type. Wireless numbers usually port faster than landlines.
Can I keep using my number during the porting process?
Yes, your number remains active with your current carrier until the port is completed. There is typically only a few minutes of downtime during the final transfer.
What documents do I need for porting?
You'll need a recent phone bill (within 30 days), a signed Letter of Authorization (LOA), and proof of address. For wireless numbers, you'll also need your account PIN or last 4 digits of SSN.
Can all phone numbers be ported?
Most US-based numbers can be ported. However, some restrictions may apply to certain types of numbers or geographic locations. Contact our support team to verify your specific number.
Is there a fee for porting my number?
Ringtree does not charge any porting fees. However, your current carrier might have early termination or porting out fees. Please check with them directly.
