How Long Does a UK Number Port Actually Take? Data From 480 Real Ports

From my experience, every VoIP sales rep will tell you "porting usually takes 2 weeks". Every customer experience story online says it took 4-6 weeks. Somebody is lying. I pulled the data from 480 ports we have done since January 2024 and here is what the numbers actually say. The raw data 480 ports across: 418 UK geographic numbers (01/02) 38 UK non-geographic (03) 14 freephone (0800) 10 shared cost (0845/0870) Losing carriers: BT (231), Gamma (62), Vonage (38), 8x8 (22), TalkTalk Business (71)
