35 countries now allow geographic number porting into tIPicall’s numbering cloud and new additions include Cyprus, the Dominican Republic and Ireland. In total tIPicall can now provide numbers in 120 countries worldwide.
Irish numbers can now be ported from operators including Eircom, COLT, Verizon, Digiweb and Smart Telecom. These suppliers represent the vast majority of number providers in the Republic of Ireland. The porting process takes around four weeks and single numbers or full ranges can be ported.
Steve Harrington, Channel Manager at tIPicall said “Traditionally cross-border organisations have found it very difficult to manage their telecoms seamlessly as they have had to be location dependent. If they wanted to look like they were in Dublin they had to be physically located in Dublin. Now companies can have a presence anywhere in the world and take their Irish numbers with them.
“This represents a significant step in the transition from traditional telecom services to SIP and next generation hosted solutions in the UK. We have been able to provide new numbers in Ireland for quite some time however the lack of porting has meant that many of our partners have had to walk away from deals. Now we can finally offer them the complete numbering service”
