Porting allows you to move phone numbers between carriers while keeping your existing numbers active for your business. The Porting Numbers experience in 800.com lets you submit port requests, track progress, manage numbers, and view detailed carrier-level status—all in one place.

Accessing Port Requests

You can manage port requests at both the organization and account level:

• Organization level:
  Organization → Number Management → Port Requests

• Account level:
  Number Management → Port Requests

From either location, you can create, view, and manage port requests based on your permissions.

Creating a Port Request

From the Port Requests page, you can initiate a new port request by completing the porting wizard and submitting the required information and documentation.

Once submitted, the port request appears in the Port Requests table.
