To port your Canadian phone number, the steps are the same as above. Depending on the losing carrier, this process typically takes between 4 - 6 weeks. While you’re waiting, be sure to check the phone numbers’ capabilities that will be available to you after porting.

We charge a one-time porting fee of $7.00 USD per number.

Once we provide you with the Account SID, please prepare the following information below and fill out the following Twilio form.

• The number(s) to be ported in E164 format; for example: [+][1][xxx][xxx][xxxx]
• The attached Twilio Canadian Letter Of Authorization within the last 15 days

• Your Customer Account Number (the one in your current carrier’s records).

Frequently Asked Questions

My Twilio number took forever to port over, what's going on?

There are instances where the Twilio numbers may already be associated with a different Twilio project. In such cases, we simply need to transfer the Twilio number once the client shares the original Account SID.
