Porting Process Simplied

The porting process involves closing an account with the donor operator, opening an account with the recipient operator, and transferring the subscriber's number between operators. The subscriber requests a porting code from their current operator and provides it to the new operator when filling out a customer application form. The new operator then raises a porting request, which is processed by a clearing house and approved by the donor operator before the number is ported over on an assigned date and routing information is updated industry-wide.
