Requesting a toll-free number port (EMEA)
A toll-free number port allows you to move your existing number from one Telecommunications Service Provider to Zoom Phone.
Learn more about common issues and questions for porting to know our porting activation times and porting time frames, or if you are facing issues during the porting process.
Important Notes:
- If you are porting Contact Center numbers, please let us know when submitting your porting request. The Zoom Porting team will be able to discuss your requirements with you.
- If you are porting a combination of Zoom Phone and Zoom Contact Center numbers, please note this in your ticket.
- Some Contact Center LOA's may differ from Zoom Phone LOA's. Please use the correct LOA. If in doubt, please feel free to contact us.
- If you would like to migrate your existing Zoom Phone numbers to Zoom Contact Center, you may use the Requesting a number port form further below for your request. Please be sure to inform us of the migration request.

Your request will either be approved or rejected:
- Rejected: If rejected, Zoom will inform you that your porting request was unsuccessful. Rejection can occur due to a variety of reasons. The Zoom porting team will provide you with the cause and how to resolve the rejection (which may require contacting your current carrier to resolve the issue).
Note: This may add an undetermined amount of time to your porting request - Approved: If approved, Zoom will inform you that your porting order has been approved with a date for when your number will be transferred to Zoom, and the numbers will be available on or before the day of port for you to manage in the Zoom web portal
Guidelines
- Copy of telephone bill dated within the last 3 months is required.
- The information you provide must match exactly what’s on record with your current provider.
- LOA must be hand/wet signed and dated within the last 3 months. Electronically signed LOAs are not accepted in most EMEA countries.
- Your phone provider's name is required on the LOA.
- LOA needs to be in EU date format (dd-mm-yyyy).
- In some European countries, the address noted on the LOA must match the country of the porting telephone numbers. Please check the porting guidelines for further information.
- All porting numbers need to be noted on the body of the LOA rather than as attachments.
- DDI blocks of numbers may require porting in full as some countries do not allow blocks/ranges of numbers to be split. Refer to our FAQ page for more information.
- Number portability checks can only be carried out once the order is submitted. There may be times when providers advise that numbers as non-portable.
- You may experience some loss of service to incoming calls during the port activation window while the porting numbers are in progress.
- Porting usually takes an average of 30 days from the day of submission.

Porting In – Toll Free Numbers in Switzerland
Porting in Swiss Toll-Free Numbers is slightly different from the usual process because it requires you to be the holder of the number.
Therefore, before porting Swiss phone numbers into the Zoom network, it is vital to make sure that any Toll-Free numbers you wish to port are assigned to you as the current holder of the number, and not to your current operator.
Verifying whether you're the current holder
In order to verify the allocation of your number, please access the following link: BAKOM Individual number allocation (0800, 084x, 090x): https://www.bakom.admin.ch/bakom/en/homepage/telecommunication/numbering-and-telephony/individual-number-allocation.html
Here you will find consumer information on Swiss phone numbers that are allocated individually. These numbers are used to offer services in the following categories: Freephone Numbers (0800), Shared-cost Numbers (084x), Business and Marketing (0900), Games and Competitions (0901) and Adult Entertainment (0906).
Requesting a reallocation if you are not the holder
Note: If you are not the current holder of the number, you will need to request a reallocation of your number from your current carrier before raising a 'porting in' request with Zoom.
The reallocation process and duration depends on your current carrier. However, based on industry practice, you will need to download and fill in the form called Transfer of Individually Allocated Number from the following link:
https://www.bakom.admin.ch/bakom/en/homepage/telecommunication/numbering-and-telephony/individual-number-allocation.html
Submitting a porting request to Zoom
The above form must be filled in by you and your current operator/carrier. Once the transfer is complete, you are free to submit a porting request to Zoom.
United Kingdom
We recommend you ask your current supplier to fill in the LOA with the correct information to prevent the port being rejected.
