Port a number to Megganet

The range holder is the party whom the number range was first allocated to by Ofcom. It may have since ported, but the range holder ultimately does not change. The loosing communicating provider is the party who currently hosts the number. If the number is housed on a BT based phone line, then you would select BT / Openreach, as an example. You may need to contact your current phone number provider for this if it is not on your most recent bill.

The site address should match the address the losing communication provider has associated with the number(s). You should check their most recent bill for this as it will be more accurate than a council address for the purpose of the number transfer.

Please only port associated numbers. If you have multiple ports, from different providers, or lines, you must place them as separate port orders. We cannot stress enough that each individual port request should be placed as the losing provider sees it. Placing a single request either to save money or move more across at the same time, simply doesn’t work. If you are porting from traditional phone lines, only enter numbers associated to a single physical line, not spread across multiple lines. If you are porting from another VoIP provider, only enter associated numbers - ie they are linked to the same trunk and originate in the same manner. If the origins of the numbers differ, or associated to different trunks, you must raise separate port orders.

We need to understand what this number is associated with. This is important, especially when porting from Wholesale Line Rental (WLR). If your number is associated with a single line PSTN, for example, then select the number of lines and channels as 1. If your line is associated with a multi-line or ISDN, then please ensure the lines and channels are reflective of the setup. Where possible we will auto-complete this information based on validation checks against Openreach.
