Porting Documentation
Porting a telephone number to 8x8 will always require a request to be sent to the current service provider for approval. This request can only be sent once the correct porting documentation has been provided to 8x8. Each country will require different paperwork to be completed; most will require a Letter of Authority or LOA, and some countries will require additional documentation.
If you are porting numbers to 8x8, find below the country in which you are porting to see the required documentation.
