Some things to keep in mind before getting started:

Before you start the process, you will need to ensure you can port your virtual phone number from Skype to Global Call Forwarding.
We only offer number porting for businesses. It is not available for personal use or 2FA verification purposes.

We may require these documents to process your request so keep them ready:

- Copy of current Skype phone bill

How to Port / Transfer Your Skype Number

To port your Skype number over to Global Call Forwarding, follow the below steps:

Go to our Pricing page.
On the left, select the country of the number to be ported (United States, Canada, etc)
Select the number type (toll free, geographic, mobile)
Select the prefix or area code (as relevant)
Select Port/Transfer My Number
On the right, enter the phone number you would like incoming calls to be forwarded to.
On the next screen, add Outbound Calling, if you want to make calls with this number.
Submit your request.
Send an invoice from your current carrier to changes@unitedworldtelecom.com.

Once we’ve received all your documents, let us take care of the rest.

The service transfer can take a few days to a few weeks, based on your number’s country and type. Remember to maintain your old service during this transition period; cancel only after the new service is activated.

We’ll notify you once the transfer is done and you are ready to use your new service with us. You will then receive call traffic automatically on the new service and be free to cancel your old service.
