United States[edit]

can someone add this? --76.8.67.2 (talk) 17:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistan[edit]

Pakistan is not in the "Middle East & Africa" region of the world, by far. Middle East ends at Iraq! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.50.73 (talk) 06:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UK / Doner-led porting[edit]

The first paragraph (which says basically that Donor-led porting is bad and Recipient-led is good) looks POV to me. Perhaps Recipient-led is better (I wouldn't know), but the wording could be more neutral, or citations could be provided to prove the point that Recipient-led is better. What about the point that Recipient-led porting could lead to unscrupulous providers switching numbers to their network without the customer's consent ("slamming")? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.182.134 (talk) 17:16, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The whole Technical details section is too UK-centric. If the UK uses a different method from the rest of the world (does it? Did it change in 2009, or not?) then the global standard should be described and the UK differences outlined in a separate subsection. Citations are needed, too. 81.136.202.93 (talk) 15:02, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"United Kingdom and India are the only exceptions" certainly doesn't seem quite correct – Germany doesn't use a Porting Authorisation Code, but you definitely still need to contact your current provider first in order to release your number for porting.

Legal rights when you want to port a number when leaving a company, or made redundant[edit]

Does anyone know the law around porting a number when -you leave a company -you are made redundant -you have had the phone number for a set period of time -you have had to pay for any private calls —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.91.171 (talk) 17:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the company provided the contract - then you are highly unlikely to have any rights to the number they provided for you. IANAL though. Paulw1128 (talk) 23:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

provider unavailable[edit]

If the service provider suddenly goes out of business, ceases to function -- is there any way to port out the trapped phone number?-71.174.188.32 (talk) 15:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
