    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)
