Local Number Porting (LNP)

Please note - make sure your service is in good standing with the phone company that has your phone number. Do not cancel you phone service until your phone number is successfully transferred to NT Connect.

How long does the porting process usually take?

The number transfer takes up to 30 days from the time you complete the Number Porting Authorization (NPA). If there are any issues, NT Connect will email you or call you on the contact information you have on file. Note: Delays in the porting process can be due to:

Pending orders with your current phone company

Adding new features with your current phone company

Pending charges with your current phone company

Number Porting Authorization (NPA) information mismatched - must match exactly or your current provider will deny the request to transfer your number out.

You are overdue with a payment to your current phone company

Your account with your current phone company is not in good standing
