THE PROCESS
General
When you select a phone number on our website you will receive a full month of call forwarding service with 100 minutes to any US number, in essence we are offering you to sign up for service with us.
However, if you are unsatisfied with our services and wish to use another provider, you may port the number to the carrier of your choice while the number remains active.
On November 24, 2003, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) enacted a new regulation to allow you greater flexibility with your telephone number. You may switch your home number from a traditional land telephone line to a cellular or wireless telephone and vice versa.
You may keep services for your 212 number with us for a fee of $24.99 for unlimited call-forwarding* or parking the number for $12 per 90 days will give you 100 minutes of call forwarding a month.
*Subject to ‘Fair use’ policy
The price reflects only service for the first month; the service includes 100 minutes of call forwarding to the number you select. You are free to port the number to another carrier or sign up for additional month of call forwarding service at a cost of $24.99 per month for unlimited calls* or Parking the number for $12 per 90 days for 100 minutes a month.
*Subject to ‘Fair use’ policy
Standard numbers are generic and basic; they give you a simple 212 area code phone number which you may use for any purpose including business.
Business numbers are easier to remember than personal numbers, hence the price difference; however, you may use a business number for personal and vice versa.
What separates the Exclusive numbers from the personal and business numbers is how extremely easier to remember they are, benefiting businesses that rely on their clients to memorize their number, especially service oriented businesses.
The categories listed are for simple navigation on our site, you may use a personal number for business or an exclusive number for personal, the only difference between the categories is how we list them.
You are free to port the number to your carrier within that time period.
What happens if I cancel service with my provider, do I still own the number?
No, the number is yours to use with your provider, if you’re not happy with your carrier, you may port/transfer the number to another carrier but the number must always remain active in order to retain the number.
But I paid for the number, doesn’t that make me the owner?
Yes, but only for as long as you keep it active, just like any other phone number, once service is cancelled and the number not ported out, you’ll most likely lose the number.
So what should I do?
In order to keep the number, you can always port/transfer the number to another provider BEFORE cancelling your current services.
Currently we are considering offers for 100 or more consecutive numbers, if you have blocks you want to sell, please contact us
Number Porting
We cannot guarantee a successful port after this time period. Alternatively, you may extend the time limit by utilizing our ‘Parking’ service: park the number with us for an additional 90 days for $12, you will receive 100 minutes of call forwarding each month as well: Park My Number
Call forwarding with the initial 100 minutes will usually be activated with 1-2 business days (sometimes the same day).
You should receive the information associated with your account and phone number detailing the call forwarding process or porting information for the number to your carrier once the call forwarding service has been established.
If you decide to port the number to a cell phone, the porting process takes 3-5 business days.
If you decide to port the number to VoIP or Hosted PBX systems it can take 10-14 days and sometimes even up to a few weeks.

Land-lines:
Outside of Manhattan Land-line carriers do not support porting 212 area code phone numbers as they must comply with mandatory 911 as opposed to other VoIP carriers who can rely on E911 (Enhanced 911).
