STEP 1: Contact your current telephone service company to initiate the porting process. Each phone provider’s process is different so follow their instructions until they are able to give you an order receipt for the transfer via email. (Often a small fee is required) If a receipt is not available, we will need a screenshot of your account showing that you own the number.
STEP 2: Prepare your needed PDF Attachments.
- Fill out the attached Letter of Authorization, REIBB_LOA.pdf.
- A copy of your order receipt described above
- A scanned copy of a recent phone bill, if you do not receive a bill, we will need a screenshot of your billing account with the number.
STEP 3: Email all of these items to support@reiblackbook.com with the subject line, “Porting Phone number to Profit Dial”. This process may take 2 - 4 weeks to complete; however, it can take longer if the port is temporarily rejected by any telecom carrier involved. We will email you when the process is finalized and your new number is activated in the account you choose.
Attached is the REIBB_LOA.pdf which is our Letter of Authorization (LOA) that is also needed to port in a number.
Please be sure to fill out the LOA completely.
NOTE: There are exceptionally rare cases where we are not able to port a number in given the numbers "rate center". A phone number's Rate Center is determined by both the area code and then the next three digits. (area code / prefix combination). We urge you not to print, publish, or otherwise promote your ported number until after the ported number is active within your account.
Do know we are constantly looking to expand our coverage. But if your phone number is unable to be ported. In the meantime, you can certainly try to port that number to another provider and then have that number forwarded to REI BlackBook. Just be aware that you might be faced with the same issue with another provider. You can search for a local number that we provide in that same Area Code.
