Number porting, also known as number transfer, is a system that allows end-users to keep their existing virtual number while switching from one provider to another. Using our Number Portability Tester, AVOXI customers can simultaneously test number portability on up to 200 numbers, review requirements, add the required plan and submit required documentation via their AVOXI online platform. Available to all AVOXI users at no additional cost, this powerful tool allows businesses to bring all their numbers to one provider, reducing the disruptive process of changing numbers.
