#### Take landline numbers with you

#### Port mobile numbers

One of your employees wants to leave the company, but would like to keep the mobile number they have been using? No problem, at sipgate you can also port mobile numbers to another provider. To do this, you need to **release the number for porting**. You can only grant this release as **administrator** . It is valid for a period of **30 days**.

**Here’s how it works:**

As an admin, go to your sipgate **account management**. There, select the navigation item **Phone numbers** from the list of your account-wide numbers, navigate to the mobile number that you want to release for porting to another provider. You also have the option to release a single mobile number from a block of mobile numbers or even the entire block for porting. To do this, click the button with the three dots (context menu) to the right of the list entry and select **Release for porting** Now the porting process can be started with a new provider. Various details will be requested there.
