How to Buy & Port In Phone Numbers via API or Commio’s Platform

Katie Reddick

Porting in phone numbers can be a slow, painful process. That’s why we’re proud to show off our easy port-in process. It’s never been easier to search for, order, and port in numbers. With our proprietary process we have seen less rejections, and quicker turn arounds for port dates. We have also added easily identifiable port statuses so you can always know the status of your port.

“I know you’ll love our streamlined port-in and ordering experience,” said Katie Reddick, Director of Customer Success, in our recent webinar. “Commio saves you time, allows you to monitor the process in our io platform and speed the process. Watch the recording to see our brand-new porting workflow from start to finish. Submit domestic ports online with no form and less emailing back-and-forth. Transfer up to 5,000 numbers in one step with no spreadsheets.”

Special offer: Try our porting process and bring your domestic and toll-free numbers to us for $0 in porting fees for Tier 1 ports of 30 or more domestic DIDs in the U.S. or Canada. Contact your account manager, email info@commio.com or call (919) 890-0000 to learn more. Contact us for other special incentives. Discounts apply to port-in fees. Monthly recurring charges (MRC) apply.

API DID Ordering & Configuration

Full documentation and example requests/responses can be found in our revised API Documentation. Programmatically search for blocks or individual numbers, then purchase and configure your DIDs or port in existing numbers with our new API.

In-Application Number Port Ins

Similar functionality available in the Commio APIs can also be accomplished inside our Commio io platform. Regular port-ins no longer require a Letter of Authorization (LOA) to be submitted. Simply enter your account information into the fields provided and it will be sent directly to our provider. An additional feature to speed up port ins is the “Save These Details” function. This is helpful when you are submitting more than one port in with similar account information now or in the future.
