Note: Bandwidth abides by all applicable FCC standards, requirements, and recommendations for number porting, which may be subject to change.
The porting timeframes vary depending on the port type and are contingent upon the authorized end user’s information provided to Bandwidth being correct and matching the current/losing carrier’s applicable records. If the information doesn't match, the port order will take longer.
Since we can't predict any errors in processing, or the behaviors of other carriers, the following timeframes are estimated and can't be guaranteed in all cases. If the port order is taking longer than the estimated timeframe and hasn't yet received a rejection of any kind, please open a ticket with your Bandwidth Porting Team.
Port type | Estimated porting timeframe |
Standard or off-net port | 3-7 business days |
Simple port | 1-2 business days |
Complex or non-simple port | 3-4 weeks |
Project port | 3-4 weeks |
Toll-free port | 3-7 business days |
