Porting Out

Post by ron.jace »

I have a freephoneline account and would like to port its number to Mobilicity. The account is using the app only and I have not bought the SIP settings for the number. Am I allowed to port out the number? Has this been done before?

I don't think so cause you did not buy sip setting so there is not option to port out

seagame2001 is completely right.

I remember that question being asked somewhere on this forum a long time ago and an admin to respond that an FPL number could be ported out but only if the config file was bought.

As per CRTC regulations, if you should decide to port your number to another provider, FPL would certainly allow it to be taken.

Even though he has not bought the config file?

Yes, even if you have not purchased the VoIP unlock key, you can still port out the number.

Porting Out - No UNLOCK KEY - how to?

Mike: not that I am in a mood or position to want to port OUT from FPL/Fongo, but, I am curious, as there is NO INVOICE or anything for a FREE (non-unlocked) account, how would one go about PROVING ownership to initiate a port-out???

I am sure that someone has done this, and am just curious as to what documentation/proof FPL/Fongo would provide for the #/acct?

The information can be puled by logging into your account on the web site. (Name, address, phone number, etc, etc)
It is up to the company that the number would be ported to too decide what information is required.
