Number porting: keeping the digits when changing provider
Short answer: Porting transfers an existing telephone number between eligible providers. It depends on the applicable market, number type and accurate information from the account currently holding the line.
CallGlobal does not offer inbound or outbound number porting. Choose a fresh number from its inventory and keep it assigned through renewal; do not assume an old line can be moved into this account.
