How to port Rogers phone numbers to KrispCall?

Are you considering porting your Rogers phone numbers to KrispCall but unsure about how to start the process? If yes, then you aren’t alone.

Changing carriers poses several challenges for many individuals. Not preparing documents beforehand further complicates and delays the process.

However, with the right guidance and support, you can overcome these obstacles and smoothly transfer your Rogers numbers to KrispCall.

Let's delve into the steps to effortlessly port your Rogers phone numbers to KrispCall, ensuring a hassle-free transition.

Porting Requirements (To Be Considered Before Porting Out Your Rogers Phone Number)



Before porting out your Rogers phone number to KrispCall or any other provider, there are a few things you need to consider. These include:



1. The Number Must Be Portable



Firstly, ensure that your Rogers phone number is eligible to port to KrispCall. Not all numbers are portable, so checking their portability is a good idea before initiating the porting process.

You can use our Number Porting Eligibility Checker tool to verify whether your phone number is eligible for porting. To use this tool, enter your Canadian Rogers phone number and the phone number type, then hit the Check Porting button. If the number is valid, a confirmation message will be displayed stating that it is eligible to port to KrispCall.

2. The Number Must be Active



Other than being portable, you must ensure your Rogers phone number is active to be eligible for porting. An inactive number can’t be ported.

If your number is inactive or suspended, you may need to contact Rogers to activate it and resolve any outstanding issues before initiating the porting process.

3. Device Should Be Unlocked



Likewise, you must also ensure your device is unlocked and compatible with KrispCall's network. If your device is locked to Rogers, you may need to contact them to request an unlock code.

4. Clear Outstanding Payments



You should also ensure that your Rogers account does not have any outstanding payments or bills. This includes any outstanding balances related to phone bills, call charges, devices, or contractual obligations.

5. Submission of Necessary Documents & Information



As part of the porting process, you must also submit a few documents and information. These documents include a Letter of Authorization (LOA), Customer Service Record (CSR), recent phone bill, and account number, and PIN. Also, it is essential to ensure these documents are current and accurate.

Information and Document Requirements (To be submitted to KrispCall)



These are the documents and information that you need to submit to KrispCall to port out your Rogers phone number. Note that submitting these documents and information is mandatory. We can’t proceed with the porting process without these.

1. Phone Numbers



You must provide the phone number(s) you wish to port out from Rogers to KrispCall either pasted in the email body or attached in a spreadsheet.

One thing you need to consider while providing the phone number is the number format. Make sure that the phone number follows the proper format and is complete. A complete and accurate Canadian phone number consists of 11 digits. The country code + 1 is written first, followed by a 3-digit area code and the remaining phone number.

The proper format for a complete phone number in Canada is +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX.

2. Letter of Authorization (LOA)



To port your Rogers phone number, you must submit a signed Letter of Authorization (LOA) to KrispCall. A LOA verifies that you are the valid owner of the number and authorizes KrispCall to initiate the porting process on your behalf.

A LOA should include all porting numbers, the end user information (you, the number owner), and an electronic or physical signature. Also, make sure the name and address on your LOA match those on your current account with Rogers. Plus, it should be dated within the last 30 days.

Follow these instructions to fill out the LOA form:

3. Customer Service Record (CSR)


Similarly, you must submit a Customer Service Record (CSR) form. The CSR is a complete record of information Rogers has about you. This document contains crucial information about your account (your address, phone number, and billing address), which is necessary for the porting process.

Note: Submitting CSR isn’t mandatory, but it can significantly assist in speeding up porting.

4. Most Recent Phone Bill



You should also provide the most recent phone bill (dated within 30 days) from Rogers. This bill serves as additional verification of your account details. If you are unsure about what information to include on bills, feel free to contact our support team via live chat, phone call, or email.

5. Account Number and PIN



Lastly, you need to submit your Rogers account number and any associated PIN. These are essential for confirming your identity and authorizing the porting of your number.

Follow these instructions to get an account number and PIN:
