Before Porting (Consideration Stage)

Before initiating the porting process, you should gather and confirm the following information to ensure that you are ready and eligible to port your number:

  • Number Status and Eligibility:

    • Keep your number active through the porting process and avoid any interruptions.

    • Check your number eligibility for porting in your region or country, as rules can vary. Try our Number Porting Eligibility Checker to see if your number is portable.

Clearout Payments:

  • Verify that your account is active and in good standing, meaning you don't have any outstanding dues or pending issues.

  • Check your latest bill to make sure that all financial obligations have been met and to confirm the account details.

  • Understand the Porting Policy:

    • Each carrier has its own policy regarding the conditions and timeframe for porting. Make sure you understand them.

  • Personal and Account Information:

    • Full Name and Address associated with the account.

    • Account Number.

    • PIN/Password used for verifying account ownership.

Documents to submit to Calilio (Submission stage)

  • Porting Authorization Form:

    • Sign and submit the Letter of Authorization (LOA) form to authorize the new carrier to port your number. You must provide a Letter of Authorization (LOA) dated within the last 30 days to prove you are the authorized user.

  • Proof of Account Ownership:

    • You need to validate your identity with a government-issued ID (like a driver's license or passport).

    • If required, you may need to provide a recent utility bill to prove the account's address.

  • Account Information from Old Carrier:

    • You need to provide your account Number.

    • You also need to include the 6-digit Transfer PIN associated with your previous account. The PIN confirms your identity and secures your number transfer.

    • Copy of the most recent bill. (Optional, but may speed up the process by verifying account details.)

  • Contact Information:

    • Please provide an alternative contact number so that we can reach you during the porting process.
