Port Out Details for New Carrier

How Porting Out Works

All US Carriers use the NPAC (Number Portability Administration Center) to move numbers between carriers, called Local Number Portability.

The new, called winning, carrier is responsible for choosing a date and time, called the Firm Order Commit, or FOC, that NPAC will move the number, once the Port Out request is approved by the current, called losing, carrier.

Once approved, the number will move to the winning carrier at the FOC date and time.

Tossable Digits is unable to control, change, or speed up the Port Out process, because it is the winning carrier that chooses the FOC date and time, not Tossable Digits, and it is NPAC that moves the number.

Minimize Port Out Delays by telling the winning Carrier:
  1. The current carrier, Tossable Digits, is a wireline carrier
  2. The current carrier is directly integrated with NPAC
  3. Request an FOC date & time that is at least 4 hours in the future, and between 8am and 8pm US Eastern Time Monday-Friday. If after 4pm Eastern, request 8am the next available weekday.
