I’m looking to use JMP.chat as my main number along as my work number.

    IIRC it’s legally required to allow porting a number out of a service, but porting it in is usually something companies add as a nicety. It’s good to hear they allow that.

    Two questions, which are open ended:

    • Does porting a number out to them cause the number to get flagged as VOIP later? It would be really crappy for people if it did…
    • Are port-outs allowed?

      If you pick a JMP number, you can port your JMP to a cell service, and a cell number can be ported to JMP.

      I believe, but I may be wrong, that cell/mobile companies get a different batch of numbers from VoIP companies, so if you port a cell number to JMP, it will likely still be believed to be a cell number, but I can’t say 100% concerete for sure.

      Yes, you can port out your jmp number, but it takes slightly longer than a regular port out/port in to the new provider because it is considered a landline. When I ported out of jmp, my number was accepted as a verification method, meaning it is no longer labeled as a VoIP number
