My port in request says "Failed" but does not give the reason why? How do I proceed?
This means that your request to transfer your number to Tello was rejected by the current provider.
You need to contact that provider as soon as possible and confirm 2 things with them:
If we do not receive any response from your previous provider within 3 business days of the original port submission date, then the port request will be canceled.
Successful Ports
Once your port is successful, you will be notified by email.
You then need to restart your phone and follow any on-screen prompts to allow hands-free activation to kick in.
Even after your number has been successfully ported to Tello, it may take up to 3 business days before your ported number is reflected correctly as your Caller ID.
