Question 1

How long does it take to port my number to a new carrier?

Accepted Answer

Most wireless ports finish within one business day. Landline to wireless ports can take up to seven days because the losing carrier must release the number and update databases. Keep the original line active until completion.

Question 2

How do I stop daily spam calls?

Accepted Answer

Add your number to the National Do Not Call Registry and enable your carrier’s spam blocking features. Marking numbers as spam trains the shared analytics and improves filtering.

Question 3

Do I need consent before sending marketing texts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The TCPA requires express written consent for promotional SMS. Store opt-in timestamps and provide opt-out keywords like STOP in each campaign.
