Porting PRI - CS1000 PBX

[babytech2009]

Hello All,

We are doing a number port over to a new carrier this coming monday. Are there any tips or tricks on porting to the new carrier?

We have had issues with most every number port except for one.


Thank you in advance.

I have seen number ports happen in 5 minutes or as long as several hours, it's crap shoot.

So there is no easy way around it?

Last one we had took 45 minutes. The other times we have done it it has taken about 4 hours.

Thank you for your response

As a rule of thumb, try to schedule the port job after business hours to minimize disruption. Personally I'd schedule it for friday end of business. That way if it screws up you have the entire weekend to get it resolved.

A lot of carriers will not port after hours any more.
