How to Port a Toll-Free Number to VoIP (1-800, 1-888, 1-877, 1-866)
Quick Answer
Toll-free numbers (1-800, 1-888, etc.) port through SOMOS, not the regular LNP system. You authorize a Responsible Organization (RespOrg) change to your new VoIP provider. The port takes 3-7 business days with no downtime — your old service stays live until cutover.
What you need to provide
- A recent invoice with the toll-free number listed
- A signed Letter of Authorization (LOA)
- Account holder's name as shown on the current invoice
- Current RespOrg (your provider can look this up)
