Resellers vs. Communication Providers

To submit a UK port request, you will need to find out if your current provider (the company that bills you for your numbers) is a Reseller, or a Communications Provider (otherwise known as a Network Operator). 

For porting, we need the name and address of your current Communications Provider. You can ask your reseller for this information, or try and find it yourself using this public resource.

If you submit the port request with the details of your Reseller, the port request will be rejected and you will have to re-start the porting process.

How to port your number to Spoke Phone

Before you can submit a port request, you will need to make sure you are a Spoke Phone customer and you have a paid subscription. 

Once you’re all signed up, submit a support ticket and our porting team will be in touch. They will provide detailed instructions and guide you through the entire process. 

Monthly number hosting fees

You get one free geographic landline number provided with your Spoke Phone account. For all other numbers that you port to Spoke Phone or buy from Spoke Phone, there is an ongoing monthly charge. See the current monthly hosting prices for numbers on the pricing page here.
