Requested for a port

Post by w3ss »

Hello - I've been an existing freephoneline (fongo) home customer for over a year and a last week requested to port my Bell home line number. I received an email to fill in the letter of authorization and respond by email what number I wish to port to check eligibility. I haven't received the letter of authorization or eligibility response. How long does this typically take?

I've also been trying to get my number ported for a week or so. I emailed support after puzzling over the conflicting and incorrect information indicated on the website (call 18665155550) and the recorded phone message (use the website or live chat in-app), and received a reply indicating that I should fill in the "attached letter of authorization", but with no attachment. I've not had any replies to my follow-up emails asking for the form.

However, I was not using FPL for a year before porting - I actually tried to initiate the process within an hour or two of creating my account and paying the fee for the VoIP unlock code. I wish I'd realized it would be this difficult to complete the process before I'd incurred that cost; without number porting it's really not that useful for me, since we're quite attached to our number.
