FAQPage Schema

How do I port phone numbers into Sinch using the porting API?▼

Port phone numbers into Sinch by automating port-in order creation, applying to North American US/CA numbers using REST API calls with E.164-formatted phone numbers. The process includes portability checks, order tracking, document uploads, and on-demand activation workflows.

What is a portability check and when do I need it for a port-in order?▼

A portability check verifies whether North American phone numbers can be transferred to Sinch before submitting an order. You need it to prevent failed submissions and avoid common validation rejections from losing carriers during the port-in process.

How do I handle on-demand activation for ported numbers once FOC is reached?▼

Handle on-demand activation for ported numbers by using group-based activation endpoints once the FOC date is reached. Set onDemandActivation to true during port-in order creation to trigger this workflow automatically.

Can I update a pending port-in order after submitting it?▼

Yes, you can update pending port-in orders by performing full-order PUT updates via REST API calls. This allows you to modify the entire order object, manage document uploads like LOA attachments, or initiate cancellation flows while the order is still pending.

How do I track the status of my Sinch port-in orders?▼

Track Sinch port-in order status by configuring webhooks to receive real-time lifecycle event updates. This webhook configuration lets you monitor order progress and handle status changes as numbers transfer from the losing carrier.
