This process is known as Local Number Portability (LNP), and it can be done currently only in the following communities where LNP is enabled: Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Pond Inlet, Igloolik, Baker Lake, Kugaaruk and Arviat. In order to “port” your current number to your new SSi Mobile subscription, you will need to provide a copy of the most recent bill or invoice from your current provider, along with one piece of photo ID, to your local Qiniq customer service provider (CSP). The CSP will have you fill out and sign a number transfer form and will then make all the necessary arrangements with your current home or cell phone provider. A home phone number will take up to 2 business days to transfer, whereas a wireless cell phone number can be transferred in the same day.
