You should be able to negotiate and possibly remove those fees. I have seen those fees set for numbers that are being ported away after less than a year in service. You may want to offer that as your second line. Good luck ;) On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 11:48 AM, Carlos Alvarez <carlos at televolve.com>wrote:

We are re-negotiating one of our carrier contracts and we have come across a new fee that we have not seen before. The carrier is looking to include a "port away" fee for when we lose a line to another carrier. Has anyone heard of this before?
Everything is negotiable, but we've seen this from some carriers. There's definitely a cost in handling both sides of the process, so it makes sense.
