  1. In the first 30 minutes, the port is being triggered with the losing carrier.
  2. The carrier then has 1 hour after the allotted time to perform tests on their side and provide us an update that the routing has completed.
  3. The last 30 minutes is our window (after receiving confirmation of the routing completion notice), to perform tests on our end and if successful, we mark the request completed.
Porting outside of business hours Not supported  
Downtime expectations No downtime occurs and we typically don't experience any post-port issues in Spain.  
Possible rejections
  • Numeracion no asignada ni portada al operador donante – number not assigned to the Donor carrier
  • Tipo de Acceso Incorrecto – access type incorrect (there are 3 access types in Spain - Single, Multi, RED)
  • Otras causas acordadas por operadores – other causes based on internal reasons from the losing operator
  • Falta de correspondencia entre numeración y NIF/CIF del abonado del revendedor – incorrect end user details, not specifically the NIF/CIF
