Have you got number from Skype and feel stuck with them because you cannot move your number to a new provider? Have you had issues with receiving incoming calls on your Skype number or faced quality issues when talking to your customers? Have you thought of moving your service from Skype, but do not want to give up your Skype number?

When you type “How to port a number from Skype”, many of the answers you get in forums say that it cannot be done! Well, it can! Here at TheVoipShop we have successfully ported many Skype numbers over to our Cloud Hosted Business PBX and have happy customer’s that have managed to retain their numbers originally obtained on Skype and are now using it on a professional business grade PBX hosted in the Cloud with all the features that a business typically needs, such as Auto Attendant, Hunt groups, Call Queueing, Call Forwarding, Out of Hours Attendant, Holiday Schedules, Mobility features and much more.

Many people purchase numbers from Skype when they first start their business for cost and convenience. When their business expands and they need to get a more professional business grade communications system, they face a dilemma. They have advertised their number, acquired from Skype, on their website, business cards and stationary, on posters etc. The cost of getting this all changed and informing their existing customers of a change in their business number can seem daunting; especially if the number you have got is a memorable one that they ideally want to keep.

Skype have also announced that they are cancelling many of their 0207 telephone numbers. This is understandably causing a great deal of concern and inconvenience to their customers. If you have an 0207 number, and need to retain it, we can take this over for you and provide you with a professional cloud hosted system 

Transferring your Skype number to our service is quick and easy. Once you have signed up to our service at TheVoipShop transferring your phone numbers is very quick and simple.

You will be asked:

1. Provide us a copy of your latest Skype bill for the number to prove that you own the number

2. Fill out and sign a simple Letter of Authority authorizing us to transfer your Skype numbers to our service

3. Tell us the Skype username with which you purchased your number. 

You can leave the rest with us and within two weeks (10 working days), your number will be transferred. Once the porting order has been approved you will be provided with a date that the number will port (transfer) to our service. You will typically receive your phones from us prior to the port date, and on the day of the port, a call from us on your new phone system to test that the number has successfully transferred. Call us on 01162438426 and speak to one of our representatives.
