CHAPTER 10: How Long Can I Expect the Switch to Take?

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
-Will Rogers (1879-1935)

The switching time can vary from provider to provider a little, however you can expect anywhere from 3 - 10 business days on average.


Here is an updated time frame from the BEST providers:

Transfer of existing toll free numbers as well as ordering vanity toll free numbers can take a little longer. This is due to the fact that the current provider (or in vanity requests, the current database holding the particular number) can take up to 30 days to accept or deny the transfer. Usually the current database responds within 1 to 3 business days, rarely does it exceed five business days.

Usually a toll free transfer is accepted with a few exceptions I have seen with AT&T (even though most are accepted) as well as if one has an unresolved outstanding past bill(s).
