Porting from Freephoneline to a mobile carrier

Post by Christogramed »

I have been with freephoneline for almost 10 years now. The service has been excellent!

The number I have with the service is tied to a land line in my home which I use infrequently. Is there a way to port my number from freephoneline to a mobile carrier within Quebec? Has anyone had any luck or know what the steps would be?

Visit https://support.freephoneline.ca/hc/en- ... er-carrier.

When porting out, you will lose your VoIP unlock key, Freephoneline account, and any World Credits you may have.

Limitations are subject to the conditions of the service providers/carriers you're interested in transferring into. Contact them for assistance.

Thanks very much for the details.

Not sure if there are some cell carriers that have been able to receive a freephoneline number as a port-in in Quebec?

If anyone has had any luck, please let me know.

If the number is in your rate centre (associated with your physical address), then it's unlikely that Rogers, Bell, Telus, Videotron, etc., would reject the port request, provided they also provide service for that rate centre. It's not as though they wouldn't want your business.

I believe you'll get a faster response by contacting the cellular provider you're interested in using. Any restriction or limitation would be on their end.
Fongo can't refuse legitimate port out requests (after respecting the conditions listed at https://support.freephoneline.ca/hc/en- ... er-carrier).
