Is the communications provider not on the list? We can also offer third party porting via BT IP Exchange. Whilst this gives us access to a greater number of communications providers, it does not guarantee a number can be ported.


Does the communications provider host their numbers on BT IP Exchange? Please note that due to technical limitations within BT's platform, non-geographic numbers (starting 03, 05, 08) hosted on BT IP Exchange cannot be ported into Zapappi at this time. We are working to resolve this, and will update this page in due course.
