You can move many numbers on a single transfer. It is usually the right choice — one Letter of Authorization, one bill, one status to watch, and one date on which everything moves together.
Putting them on one transfer
On the first step of the wizard, enter one number per line. They are formatted as you type and checked for eligibility together. There is no fixed limit on how many you can include.
Ten or more gets 25% off
Put 10 or more numbers on one transfer and 25% comes off the whole porting subtotal, applied automatically at the Payment step. Nothing to request, no code to enter.
This is worth planning around. Ten numbers moved as one transfer cost noticeably less than ten numbers moved as two transfers of five, for exactly the same work.
When to split instead
Three situations call for separate transfers:
Different current providers. One transfer authorises one losing provider. Numbers sitting with two different providers need two transfers.
Different countries. Canadian and US numbers move by one route; numbers elsewhere move by another. They cannot share a transfer.
Different timing. Everything on one transfer completes on the same date. If you want your main line moved this month and a batch of secondary numbers next quarter, separate them.
What happens on the day
All numbers on a transfer move on the same confirmed date. You will see the date on the transfer once your current provider commits to it.
Occasionally a carrier will complete part of an order and hold the rest. If that happens, the individual numbers on your transfer show their own status, so you can see which have landed.
Before you start
Make sure every number on the list is on the same account with your current provider, and that the account number and account holder you enter are the ones for that account. A single number belonging to a different account is enough to get the whole order rejected — see Fixing a Transfer That Needs Changes.
