What to expect

After you submit this form, 845 Data checks the details against your current provider’s records and submits the port request. Your current provider then reviews it and returns a firm order commitment (FOC) date, which we email to you. Timelines vary widely – some ports are done in about 3 business days, others take 2 weeks or more.

The completion date is set by your current provider, not by 845 Data. They control when the number actually transfers, so we cannot guarantee a specific date – we can only request one and pass on the date they commit to.

Every detail must match your current provider’s records exactly. The account name, service address, account number and billing telephone number are checked character by character. A mismatch in any of them is the most common reason a port is rejected, and every rejection restarts the clock. The surest way to get this right is to attach a recent bill using the upload button on the form – a clear photo is fine.

Do not cancel service with your current provider. Cancelling before the port completes releases the number, and you may lose it permanently. Keep that account active until we confirm the port has finished.

Letter of Authorization (LOA) - Number Porting

Use this form to authorize 845 Data to transfer (port) your existing telephone numbers from your current service provider to 845 Data. Accuracy matters: the account name, service address, account number and billing telephone number below must match your current provider's records exactly. A mismatch is the most common reason a losing provider rejects a port request. Questions about this form or about a port already in progress? Email [email protected].

Company or Account Name

Enter the name exactly as it appears on the bill from your current provider. A mismatch here is the most common reason a port request gets rejected.

Service Address

City

State/Province

Zip/Postal

Country

The service address on record with your current provider, including ZIP code.

Current (Losing) Service Provider

The company that bills you for these numbers today, for example Verizon, Spectrum, or RingCentral.

Account Number with Current Provider

Shown on your current provider's invoice or in their online account portal.

Account PIN or Passcode

Some providers require a port-out PIN or passcode before they will release a number. Leave blank if yours does not use one.

Billing Telephone Number (BTN)

The main billing number for the account. It may or may not be one of the numbers you are porting.

Copy of a Recent Bill from Your Current Provider

Maximum file size: 10MB

Optional, but it is the single best way to avoid a rejected port. Your bill shows the exact account name, service address, account number and billing telephone number your current provider has on file, so we can match them character for character before we submit. A clear photo of a paper bill is fine, and you can attach more than one page. Up to 10 MB per file.

Telephone Numbers to Be Ported

List every number you want moved to 845 Data, one per line, with area code. If you are porting the entire account, list the numbers anyway so we can confirm the count.

Are you porting every number on this account?

Yes - port every number on this account

No - port only the numbers listed above

If you are porting every number, the account with your current provider will normally close once the port completes. If you are keeping some numbers with them, that account stays open. Tell us either way so we can flag it on the request.

Requested Port Date

A request, not a commitment. 845 Data confirms the actual firm order commitment (FOC) date with you once your current provider accepts the request. Timelines vary widely - some ports are done in about 3 business days, others take 2 weeks or more.

Authorized Signer - Printed Name

The name of the person authorized on the account.

Title or Position

Your role with the company named above, for example Owner, Office Manager, or IT Director.

Email Address

845 Data sends port status updates and the firm order commitment (FOC) date to this address.

Contact Phone

A direct number where the porting team can reach you about this request. Please give a number that will still work after the port completes - not one of the numbers you are porting away.

Authorization and Certification

I certify that I am the account holder of record, or am otherwise authorized to act on behalf of the account holder named above. I authorize 845 Data to act as my agent for the purpose of transferring the telephone number(s) listed on this form from my current service provider to 845 Data, and I authorize my current provider to release the associated Customer Service Record (CSR) to 845 Data. I understand that porting a number may terminate that number's service with my current provider, that I remain responsible for any outstanding balance or early termination fees owed to that provider, and that this authorization remains valid for 60 days from the date signed.
