Skype porting pains? Not a problem with VoIPstudio

If your business has relied on Skype, you’ve probably heard the news: Microsoft is officially shutting down Skype. But don’t worry; switching to another communications provider doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, VoIPstudio makes porting numbers from Skype—or any other provider—easier than ever.

What Exactly is Number Porting?

Number porting, or portability, simply means transferring your existing telephone number from your current provider to a new one. This means you can retain your familiar numbers, ensuring continuity for your customers, clients, and business partners. Whether you’re migrating from Skype, traditional phone companies, or other VoIP providers, number porting is a straightforward process designed to help your business transition smoothly.

Common Fears About Number Porting (and Why They’re Outdated!)

Historically, many businesses have worried about number porting because of concerns like downtime, lost calls, complicated paperwork, or uncertainty over regulatory requirements. Thankfully, these fears are becoming increasingly outdated. In fact, regulatory bodies now mandate easier portability to support business continuity and healthy competition.

At VoIPstudio, we’ve simplified the porting process even further with clear, step-by-step guidance and real human support to help at every stage, making concerns about downtime or complicated processes a thing of the past.

A Few Things You Might Not Know About Number Porting

• It’s your right: Regulatory bodies in most countries actively enforce easy number portability, removing unnecessary barriers.
• Minimal downtime: When handled professionally by experienced providers like VoIPstudio, number porting causes minimal to no downtime.
• Flexible proof of ownership: Providing traditional invoices and phone bills can be difficult for Skype subscribers and may lead to rejections from other providers, but with VoIPstudio you can usually port Skype numbers using alternative methods. This flexibility can sometimes be extended to other service providers where documentation is limited.

Why Skip Microsoft’s “Migrate to Teams” Option?

Microsoft promotes migrating Skype numbers to Teams. However, many businesses are hesitant to adopt Teams due to its complexity, high costs, or simply because they require fewer features and more straightforward solutions. If you’re looking for an intuitive, cost-effective, and reliable alternative, VoIPstudio offers exactly that.

Porting Skype and Other Provider Numbers to VoIPstudio

Worried about not having traditional telecoms bills available within your Skype account? VoIPstudio makes it easy. If you can’t get detailed billing documentation with a validated address from Skype, you can typically provide a simple Letter of Authorization (LOA) from our intuitive template and a screenshot of your current account’s information page as proof of ownership. Our dedicated, human support team will guide you at every step, ensuring your porting experience is smooth, transparent, and hassle-free.

Beyond number porting, VoIPstudio also provides extensive capabilities including call forwarding, analytics, conferencing, and integrations with popular business tools—all ready for you to use during your migration and beyond.

Skype may be ending, but your business continuity doesn’t have to suffer. You can be confident in VoIPstudio’s vast experience of Skype number porting to be your reliable, cost-effective alternative, so your business can comfortably migrate with ease.
