Number porting moves your existing phone number to a new provider so you keep it when you switch services. The new carrier coordinates with the old one, and the number routes to the new system once the port completes.
For a business, porting means changing phone providers without changing the number customers already know. It usually takes a few business days and requires a letter of authorization.
