Porting your Canadian telephone number (non-Twilio number) to a location
To port your Canadian phone number, the steps are the same as above. Depending on the losing carrier, this process typically takes between 4 - 6 weeks. While you’re waiting, be sure to check the phone numbers’ capabilities that will be available to you after porting.
We charge a one-time porting fee of $7.00 USD per number.
Once we provided you with the Account SID, please prepare the following information below and fill out the following Twilio form: Porting Form
- The number(s) to be ported in E164 format; for example: [+][1][xxx][xxx][xxxx]
- The attached Twilio Canadian Letter Of Authorizationwithin the last 15 days
- Your most recent billing document
- Your Customer Account Number (the one in your current carrier’s records).
Frequently Asked Questions
My Twilio number took forever to port over, what's going on?
Sometimes it might be that those Twilio numbers are already with another Twilio project. So we just need to move the Twilio number once the client provides the losing Account SID.
