What is number porting?
Number porting is the process of transferring your existing phone number from your current provider to Rotor. This lets you keep the number your customers already know while taking advantage of Rotor's 2-way SMS and calling features.
The process typically takes a few business days and requires a small amount of information from you upfront.
Step 1: Contact your current provider
You'll need two pieces of information from your current provider before the port can begin:
Account Number — Your account identifier with your current provider
Transfer PIN — A PIN used to authorize the number release
How you get these depends on where your number is currently hosted. Here are instructions for the most common platforms:
Step 2: Sign a Letter of Authorization (LOA)
Once you have your Account Number and Transfer PIN, you'll need to sign a Letter of Authorization (LOA). This document authorizes Rotor to initiate the port on your behalf.
The LOA should include:
Your phone number(s) being ported
Your name and signature
The name of your current provider
Porting multiple numbers? No problem — you can list multiple numbers on a single LOA or submit them in batches over time.
Step 3: Provide a billing receipt (if available)
If you can, include a recent billing receipt from your current provider that shows:
Your name
The provider's name
A charge related to your phone or communications service
This helps verify account ownership and can speed up the process. If you can't locate a receipt, go ahead and submit your request anyway — our team will let you know if it's needed and help you from there.
Step 4: Rotor handles the rest
Once we have your Account Number, Transfer PIN, signed LOA, and billing receipt (if available), our team will initiate the port. We'll keep you updated on progress and let you know when your number is live in Rotor.
