You can transfer your current number with another provider over to EasyRinger. Maybe you'll be living overseas for a while, but want to keep your current number. Maybe your current provider is shutting down (if you have a Skype number, you need to do this soon!). Or, maybe you're just not happy with your provider's current pricing, service, or support. Whatever the reason, you can bring your number over to EasyRinger in a process known as "porting".
EasyRinger can often port your existing number to our service so that you can continue using the same number overseas that you're accustomed to. Here are some popular reasons why people port their numbers to EasyRinger:
You have recently moved to another country for an extended period of time. Maybe you are studying or have a temporary overseas assignment. Porting to EasyRinger will allow you to continue to use your personal number so you can be reached overseas for a fraction of the cost. You can even port your number back to your original provider after you return home.
You are using a phone number provided by 100% VoIP technology, which can be blocked in some countries (China, the Middle East, among others). However, with a reliable SIP phone service, you can enjoy greater flexibility and connectivity, even in regions where traditional VoIP services may face restrictions.
Porting can take up to two weeks and costs a one-time fee of $30. We can port numbers in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Not all numbers can be ported, but most can.
How to port a number to EasyRinger
To port a number over to EasyRinger for use with our service, please prepare the following information:
A filled-out letter of agency (LOA) which tells us which number you want to port and which company is currently servicing the number. Please use the relevant letter of agency for your location and phone number type:
You can provide a scanned copy of your latest bill showing the number along with your name. You can also provide a screenshot of an online invoice as well.
Your account PIN (sometimes the last four digits of your SSN for US customers)
Once you have both of these documents ready, please email them to us at 'support at easyringer dot com' and a member of our support staff will contact you. Our support team will keep you up to date on the progress of your number.
