7 - Number Porting Policy (LNP)
We included your full policy and streamlined it for clarity.
7.1 Our commitment & third-party dependence
We’ll use reasonable efforts to process number port-in/out requests when practicable and when you complete all required steps. Porting relies on third parties outside our control (losing/winning carriers, The Campaign Registry data, etc.). We are not liable for delays/failures caused by third parties or for any allegedly unauthorized port by a third party.
7.2 Port-In to Ezeetel (bring your numbers)
- Submit an LNP request during onboarding or later, with all required documents (e.g., Letter of Authorization/Agency (LOA), recent bill copy, correct CSR data).
- For bulk ports from the same provider account, contact [email protected] and follow instructions.
- Porting requires precise data matching. Timing depends on your cooperation and third-party actions.
7.3 Port-Out from Ezeetel (to another provider)
- Follow your new provider’s instructions; provide all info they request and any info we reasonably request.
- Completion timing depends on you and third parties (including the gaining provider).
- We cannot guarantee to stop an unauthorized port-out, retrieve a number once ported, or port it back in.
7.4 Accuracy & Compliance
You warrant that all porting information (including LOA details) is true, accurate, current. You will not engage in fraudulent conduct, “slamming,” or changes of service provider without proper consent. You will follow all Laws and carrier rules.
7.5 Release of Numbers
If your account/line is terminated or cancelled, numbers not ported out may be released. You are solely responsible for porting numbers to a new provider before termination/cancellation.
8 - Service Provision & Limitations (what to expect)
- We operate as an independent provider and supply service where commercially reasonable and available.
- We may decline or limit service for (without limitation): outstanding payments, failure to provide requested credit info/deposit, or locations outside our current footprint (we may offer partial service at different pricing).
- Access to special numbers: certain premium numbers (e.g., 900/976) may not be reachable.
- Maintenance/interruptions: Service may be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades, repairs, outages, power failures or Internet issues. We don’t guarantee uninterrupted service.
- Out-of-country use: Using Services outside Canada may be restricted or unlawful; we may limit access from selected countries.
- No traditional PSTN: VoIP differs from legacy PSTN (see 911).
9 - Service Requirements (what you need)
- Reliable high-speed Internet (cable/DSL/ethernet/Wi-Fi/cellular data) — not provided by Ezeetel.

VoIP 911 is not identical to traditional E911. Your 911 call is routed to a national emergency call center that confirms your location and transfers to local responders.
