Account Number & Security PIN
We recommend contacting your current provider and confirming your account number & security PIN(s) for your numbers before submitting your porting request to Aircall. A security PIN is not always needed to port your lines, but your current provider will be able to confirm if they have security PINS associated with your lines.
A security PIN is a four-digit numeric sequence that can be required in order to port your numbers successfully.
⚠️ It is possible that each number you are porting will have a unique four-digit security pin. For example, if you are porting 30 numbers, you may need a security PIN for each line.
The Account number is the number associated with the numbers you are porting. This can also vary per line, so it is important to confirm that all numbers you want to port share the same account number.
⚠️ If a porting request is submitted with numbers that have separate account numbers it may lead to delays if not specified.
Customer Service Record (CSR)
A Customer Service Record (CSR) is a document detailing account information for a given phone number or numbers.
You can request a CSR from your current carrier, and it should have all the required information needed to port your numbers.
Submitting a porting request with a CSR in addition to your most recent invoice will often lead to faster port processing and less risk of rejected porting orders from your current provider.
