How long does porting out take?

Now that you've reviewed the process to port out your Sideline number, you're probably wondering how long it takes to complete. Here are some things to consider:

• Generally, the gaining carrier (where you're porting your number out TO) controls the time it takes to complete the port
• Our role, as the losing carrier (where you're porting your number out FROM - Sideline) is to verify that you've requested the port out process to begin
• Once you've provided the gaining carrier with the Account and PIN numbers, it's all in their hands! From what we've seen, it can be anywhere from 2 hours to 7 days 

To receive a more accurate estimate, we would suggest reaching out to the carrier/service you're porting your number to and ask for their approximation.
