Request Port

Bright Pattern's Contact Center Number Provisioning application provides users with the option to create a self-service order to move or "port" phone numbers from one carrier to another.

Request Port does three things:

  • Acts as a wizard to walk through LOA completion
  • Pends an order on NPP for the port
  • Sends an e-mail to the address of record for Ports in Settings.

Note that it does not begin a port with winning or losing carriers. That process must be done manually.

Using Request Port can be utilized via uploading a .XLS or .CVS spreadsheet to the system with a list of numbers to port or by entering the full number manually, separating each individual phone number with a comma.

This step-by-step procedure includes:

  • Preparing the data
  • Creating a Letter of Authorization
  • Requesting a port from another carrier
