In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to port EE phone numbers to KrispCall. We’ll also look at some factors to consider before initiating the porting process and some mistakes that can cause porting delays.

So, let’s get started.

Porting Requirements (To Be Considered Before Porting Out Your EE Phone Number)

To avoid any issues that may arise during the porting process, it’s essential that you consider some factors before initiating the process. Some of the important things to consider are explained in detail below:

Porting Requirements (To Be Considered Before Porting Out Your EE Phone Number)

1. The Number Must Be Portable

First and foremost, ensure that the EE phone number you wish to port to KrispCall is portable. KrispCall generally supports the porting of all types of EE phone numbers, but in the rear scenario, there can be some geographical restrictions.

Our Number Porting Eligibility Checker tool makes it easy to check the portability of your existing EE phone number. You just have to enter the phone number, select the phone number type, and click the “Check Porting” option. If your number is eligible, you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating that you can port the number to KrispCall. 

2. The Number Must be Active

Besides being portable, the number must also be active and in use. An inactive number can’t be ported.

If the EE number you wish to port is currently inactive, contact the EE service provider and request that they activate your number. Only then you can proceed with porting.

3. The device Should Be Unlocked

If your phone is locked to EE’s network, you’ll need to unlock it before porting out the number to KrispCall. Contact EE to unlock your device if needed.

4. Clear Outstanding Payments

Likewise, you need to ensure that your EE account has no outstanding payments or dues. Unclear bills can delay the porting process. Hence, you must clear any outstanding bills or balances to avoid complications during the porting process, as presenting a clear bill is mandatory.

You need to provide a list of active EE phone number (s) you wish to port to KrispCall, either attached to a spreadsheet or pasted into the email body. Make sure the phone number is in E.164 format. 

An E.164 is an international telephone numbering plan that ensures each device connected to the PSTN has a globally unique number. E.164 number format starts with the (“+”) signs, followed by country code and subscriber number with area code. The phone number can have a maximum of 15 digits.

Next, you must submit a Letter of Authorization (LOA). The LOA verifies your ownership of the phone number and provides essential information required for seamless number porting. It also allows KrispCall to act as your agent and send EE a porting request on your behalf.

💡 Important things to consider regarding LOA:

  • The LOA should be dated within the last 30 days.
  • If you’re porting both geographic (Geo) and non-geographic (Non-Geo) numbers, fill in separate LOAs for each type.
  • Fill the LOA digitally, with only the signature being handwritten.
  • Add EE as the “Current Retailer” and leave the “New Provider” field blank.
  • Include the email contact of your current provider (EE).
  • Ensure the site address mentioned is in the United Kingdom.

2. Network Provider/RH Blocking the Port

Porting rejections also occur if your current network provider blocks the porting request. It happens if you haven’t informed your current provider beforehand about your intention to port away your numbers, outstanding payments, contract violations, etc.

3. Incorrect line type

Providing an incorrect line type also causes rejection, which causes porting delays. Thus, it’s essential that you double-check which type is your number, whether multi-line or single-line, to avoid errors.

4. Incorrect number details

If you provide incorrect number details, such as an incorrect Main billing number (MBN), a missing DDI range, or associated numbers, it can lead to rejections. You should consult your current provider if there are any numbers attached to the number you wish to port. After that, you should include all relevant numbers in the porting request.

This rejection typically means that these numbers are not currently in service with your current carrier. It can also mean that you have outstanding charges on the account.  If your numbers are inactive, contact your current carrier to reinstate them.

6. No service with LCP

Porting delays also occur if you provide an incorrect Losing Communication Provider (LCP) on the Letter of Authorization (LOA). To avoid this, confirm with your current provider who the actual LCP for the number is.

What are the common reasons for a rejected port?

Common reasons for rejected ports include;

  • Incorrect Postcode: You must ensure that the postcode you provide matches your current service provider’s records.
  • Single- vs. Multi-Line Geographic Numbers: Associated numbers must be ported together as a range. Contact your current service provider to find out if your number is single- or multi-line.
