SIPStation DIDs and Toll-Free numbers are usually not automatically cancelled after a port-out unless you are explicitly notified of such. Billing will continue unless the services are cancelled. Customers are responsible for canceling monthly services after a port-out. Please see Ordering or Canceling Service. |
While we do not want to see you go, we understand that you may need to port your telephone number(s) away from SIPStation to a new provider. This wiki is for customers wishing to port numbers out of SIPStation to a new provider. If you are looking for information on porting in to SIPStation, please see our main Number Porting wiki.
We comply with FCC rules that mandate local and toll-free number portability. You can move your local numbers to a new provider who provides coverage in the same geographic area. You can also move your toll-free numbers to a new RespOrg.
...
You will be required to fill out a Letter of Authorization (LOA) with your new provider, giving them permission to port your number(s). Please not use the LOA form that we have available on our site – our LOA is only for customers wishing to port in to SIPStation. Your new service provider will need to give you the proper paperwork to fill out. It is your responsibility to provide the correct information on your Letter of Authorization.
Your LOA should list only the numbers that you wish to port out of SIPStation. Do not include numbers that you would like to keep in your SIPStation account.
If you are porting multiple local numbers out of the same SIPStation account, you can usually group them on a single LOA. If you plan to port both local and toll-free numbers, check with your new provider to determine if they will need separate LOAs for each type.
Your account number is shown at the top of your monthly statement.

Canceling SIPStation Service After a Port
...
We are not always able to automatically cancel your SIPStation service for numbers that port out. Therefore, it is your responsibility to manage your monthly services in your SIPStation account. After a port-out, you will need to visit your SIPStation account to ensure services are cancelled for the DID(s) that you no longer wish to use. Otherwise, you will continue to be billed for the DID(s).
Please see our wiki "Removing Services or DIDs from your existing SIPStation account" for instructions.
