Bulk Number Porting for 100 or More Numbers

Porting a hundred numbers is a project, not a form. Here is how IPComms runs large migrations: volume pricing on the standard $5.00 per-number port fee, one person who owns the whole port, parallel orders across carriers, and routing built before the numbers move so nothing goes dark.

Why bulk porting is different

Porting one number is a form and a wait. Porting a hundred is a project with several releasing carriers, several rate centers, and a cutover date the business cares about. The failure mode is not "the port fails"; it is a rejection on order three of twelve that nobody notices for a week, or a batch that completes on a Friday afternoon with routing still pointing at the old PBX.

One project owner

A single person on our porting team owns your migration from number inventory to go-live: paperwork, carrier follow-ups, rejections, and status updates.

Parallel orders

We submit port orders to every releasing carrier and rate center at the same time instead of one after another, so the whole batch lands in one window.

Your timeline

A phased move over several weeks or a coordinated cutover on one date. We build the schedule around your business, not our queue.

Pricing for 100 or more numbers

The standard port fee is $5.00 per number, charged once. Volume discounts apply at 100 or more numbers. Send us the number list and the current carriers and we will quote the port and the monthly numbers together. Local numbers are $1.50 a month and toll-free $2.00 a month once they arrive, with no contract.

How the process works

1. Assessment

We review your number inventory, identify the releasing carriers and rate centers, flag anything unusual (hunt groups, numbers on a PRI, toll-free RespOrg changes), and write the migration plan.

2. Letters of authorization

We prepare the LOAs and submit the port orders. You sign; we handle the rest, including the exact account-name and address details that cause most rejections.

3. Parallel processing

Every order is tracked individually. A rejection is corrected and resubmitted the same day, and you get a status update on the whole batch, not order by order.

4. Go-live

Routing to your trunk or PBX is configured before the port dates, so when a number moves to IPComms calls flow immediately. Your current carrier keeps carrying each number until its port date, so there is no gap.

Frequently asked questions

How long does bulk porting take?

Each port order completes in 3 to 10 business days depending on the releasing carrier. Because orders run in parallel, a thousand numbers usually take about as long as a hundred.

What if my numbers are with multiple carriers?

We submit a separate order to each releasing carrier at the same time and track them together, so the numbers arrive in the same window rather than one carrier after another.

Is there a contract?

No. Service is month to month. The volume discount on the port fee does not require a term.

What happens if a port is rejected?

Rejections are common and usually come from a mismatch in the authorized name, address or account number. We identify the cause, correct the order and resubmit; you are not asked to chase the old carrier.

Can I port in phases?

Yes. Most large customers start with a pilot batch, confirm routing and caller ID, then move the rest on a schedule.

Porting fewer than 100 numbers?

Any quantity ports through the customer portal at the standard $5.00 per number. Sign up, submit the port request with a recent bill, and the same team handles it. See the number porting page for the steps and what to have ready.
