Notes
Fongo is not responsible for failed ports. Below are reasons port-ins occasionally fail:
- Your account with the other provider is not active or is flagged for disconnect
- Customer has outstanding balance owed to current provider
- Porting number must belong to you
- Customer disconnects or initiates a disconnect for the number before finalizing porting with Fongo
- Customer provides inaccurate information for porting resulting in multiple rejections
- Customer did not authorize the transfer upon the current provider requesting authorization
- Customer initiated porting but then decides to cancel for any reason (i.e. Provider offers better rates, number porting to some other company etc.)
Please do not contact your current carrier to indicate you will be cancelling/porting your number as they may consider this contact your 30 days’ notice. A "disconnect order" on file with your current carrier may prevent us from porting your number.
Porting can take up to 10 business days (or longer if there is a rejection). The first business day only counts if the transfer is submitted before 12pm.

Special Notes: Transferring A Mobile Number
This only applies if your current provider is providing you with wireless service (SIM CARD).
Your current wireless provider may call or text you to authorize the number transfer. Please respond within 30 minutes to authorize the number transfer. Failure to do so may result in a rejection of transfer.
The messages from the current provider are typically sent immediately after they receive the number transfer request or between 10:00am and 12:00pm on the next business day. You may also contact your current provider to authorize the number transfer using the numbers below.
We recommend asking for a 24-hour authorization, as a minimum.
