phone-arrow-up-rightNumber Portability in SprintHub

The number portability allows the customer to transfer the responsibility of a landline or mobile phone from a traditional carrier (Vivo, Claro, TIM, Oi, etc.) to a VoIP provider (VoxImplant, among others). In SprintHub, we do not carry out the portability process — we act as the call endpoint, integrating VoIP so you can make and receive calls directly on the platform.

Case 1: Registering the number in SprintHub

When the customer already has an active number with the VoIP provider and only wants to register it in SprintHub, follow these steps:

  1. Access the VoIP module in SprintHub.

  2. Verify if the SIP Trunk is configured on the platform.

  3. Click Add Number and select External VOIP.

  4. Enter the number (landline or mobile) and the authentication details provided by the VoIP.

  5. Save: from then on, you will be able to make and receive calls using that extension.


Case 2: Portability Process

If the customer wants to migrate the number from a traditional carrier to the VoIP provider, follow this flow:

  1. Confirmation with the carrier

    • Contact the current carrier and ask if the number is portable (rented numbers may not be).

    • If the number is registered in the customer's name and is eligible, request clearance for portability.

  2. Verification with the VoIP provider

    • Confirm with the provider (e.g., VoxImplant) if it accepts portabilities coming from the originating carrier.

  3. Start of the portability process

    • With both parties aligned, the carrier and the VoIP provider will submit the portability request.

    • The official timeframe according to ANATEL is 3 to 15 business days for completion.

  4. Finalization in SprintHub

    • Once the portability is completed by the VoIP provider, return to the VoIP SprintHub module and register the number as described in Case 1, now already “dressed” by the new provider.


Final Considerations

  • SprintHub integrates your VoIP for calls, but does not directly manage portabilities.

  • Ensure that the number is regularized and authorized by the carrier before starting the request.

  • After portability, treat the number in SprintHub as an external VoIP extension, following the standard registration flow.

With this clear and documented process, your company will have full flexibility to maintain contracts with traditional carriers or migrate to VoIP solutions, always using SprintHub as the call center.
