Porting date missed or number stuck between old and new provider

Ports trip on registered legal name, an active contract with the losing provider, or a block not requested as a whole. Between submission and go-live you sit in a fragile window.

Try this first

  1. 1Check the registered name with the losing provider matches the KvK name, not a trade name
  2. 2Ask the new provider whether the port is validated by ACM routing, not just submitted
  3. 3Time the cutover for an off-peak hour, not Monday 9am
  4. 4Keep the old device or softphone on standby for one business day, in case the port falls back

When to bring us in

If the losing provider refuses due to an active contract, request the refusal in writing. ACM can mediate when the reason is not substantiated.
