When creating fax, ensure that fonts are clear and dark and that the background is white. If you are photographing a document, make sure to properly focus the camera so that the text is crisp. Taking a photo in a bright room will help to achieve optimal clarity. Only fax text documents, not photos or pictures.

Number Porting FAQs

It simply means transferring your existing telephone or fax number from one service provider to another.

We can port most Toll-Free, wireless, landline, and fax numbers in the United States and Canada.

Porting will take 7-10 business days. We’ll keep you updated throughout the porting process and will let you know once we have an approved FOC (Firm Order Commitment) with your current carrier.

The information needed to port your number will be collected during order creation. That information includes:

 

  • Account/Company Name
  • Billing Address (No PO Boxes)
  • Billing Telephone Number
  • Authorized Person’s Name
  • Account Number
  • PIN#/Passcode (optional)

 

Note: Make sure the information you submit matches the information your current provider has on file. Any discrepancies can delay the number porting process.

Keep your account active with your current provider throughout the number porting process, as disconnected numbers cannot be ported. You will be notified by iFax once your number has successfully transferred and can cancel your service with your current provider at that time. iFax does not cancel your service on your behalf.

No. iFax does not cancel your previous service. You will need to cancel your previous service after your number has been transferred.

Yes, your existing service will work during the porting process as long as you do not make any account changes.

Yes! You may start the transfer of as many numbers as you wish from within your account.

Once you have completed your port submission online, you will be able to see the status of your request in the Porting tab under Fax Numbers.

The order status is set to exception and a Porting Specialist will reach out to you to inform you of the rejection reason and provide you options on how to resolve the rejection.

iFax will send an email when the port date has been confirmed. You may also check the status of your port in the Porting tab under Fax Numbers.

We know that your number is critical to your business. iFax ports are set to activate at a specific time. When that time comes, the losing carrier deactivates the numbers, and our system immediately activates them to ensure they work right away.

In accordance with your carriers’ policies, porting is not available on weekends or holidays.

A Letter of Authorization is a form that iFax will utilize on your behalf to port your numbers from your current provider. When submitting a number porting request in your iFax dashboard, a digitally signed LOA will be generated.

The Number Porting Team can be reached via email at support@ifaxapp.com at Business Hours of operation: Monday through Friday (9 AM – 5 PM EST).

Contact your previous carrier to remove the ported number from their database or switches. If all is fine with the previous carrier, reach out to  support@ifaxapp.com for further assistance.
