How to Port Your Number from MagicJack to a New Provider

Switching from MagicJack to a new provider is easier than calming down a customer who’s been on hold for 45 minutes. Here’s how to do it—step by step, no tech jargon.

Preparation Steps for the Porting Process

Before you port your MagicJack phone number to a new provider, make sure you’ve got your ducks in a row. Here’s how to prep:

Check your eligibility

Make sure your MagicJack number is still active and not tied up in any account issues. If your number is inactive, expired, or canceled, it won’t be portable.

Review your MagicJack account info

Log in at my.magicJack.com to find your account number. You’ll also need your password, which becomes your porting PIN. MagicJack recommends resetting it to an 8-digit number for easier transfer.

Settle outstanding balances

Unpaid fees could delay or block your number transfer. Make sure your billing is up to date before initiating the port.

Submit the port request through your new provider

Your new provider (like CloudTalk) is the one who initiates the transfer request. Once MagicJack receives it, they’ll email you to confirm the porting process is underway.

Understand your new provider’s porting requirements

Every provider has slightly different documentation needs. For CloudTalk, you’ll typically need:

• The number(s) in E.164 format (e.g., +1XXXXXXXXXX)

• A copy of your latest bill
• Your registered name and address (must match what’s on file with MagicJack)
• A signed Letter of Authorization (LOA)

How Long Does the Porting Process from “MagicJack” Take?

The full MagicJack number porting process typically takes 1 to 15 business days, depending on how quickly you and your new provider submit the necessary documentation.

Here’s what can impact the timeline:

• Incomplete or inaccurate information (like a mismatched billing address) can delay approval.
• Outstanding balances with MagicJack may block the request.
• Carrier coordination between MagicJack and your new provider can add a few days, especially if any back-and-forth is needed.
• Once the request is approved, the number usually transfers within 3 to 5 business days. Most users experience little to no downtime during the switch.

How Much Does Number Porting from “MagicJack” Cost?

In most cases, MagicJack does not charge a fee to release your number when porting it to a new provider. However, it’s always a good idea to check your account details or reach out to their support team to confirm there are no hidden charges or early termination fees tied to your plan.

That said, your new provider may charge a one-time setup or porting fee. For example, CloudTalk offers free number porting in many cases, but depending on the number type and country, a fee may apply. Pricing varies by region and complexity of the port.

How to port your number to CloudTalk

Once you’re ready to leave MagicJack behind, here’s how to get your number up and running with CloudTalk—step by step:

1. Make Sure You’re Eligible

Before anything else, make sure:

• Your number is from a country supported by CloudTalk
• You have an active CloudTalk account
• Your MagicJack account is active
• Your number is ready to be configured in CloudTalk
  

2. Confirm Your Number Can Be Ported

There are two situations where porting might not be possible:

• The number format or country isn’t supported by CloudTalk
• MagicJack doesn’t allow porting for that number
  

If that’s the case, you can still purchase one of 160+ local or international numbers from CloudTalk.

3. Submit a Porting Request

Send an email to porting@cloudtalk.io with the subject line “Port-in request.” Include:

• The phone number(s) in international E.164 format (e.g., +12125551234)
• Your current provider’s name (MagicJack)
• The underlying carrier, if different from MagicJack
• The name and full address listed on your MagicJack account
• A recent bill from MagicJack showing your number and account info

4. Complete the Letter of Authorization (LOA)

Once we confirm the number is portable, we’ll send you a pre-filled LOA template. Make sure all the info matches what MagicJack has on file—accuracy is key.

5. Sit Back While We Handle the Rest

After we receive your signed LOA and documents:

• CloudTalk will coordinate with our carrier and MagicJack to schedule the transfer
• Your number will appear in your CloudTalk dashboard so you can set up call flows, agents, and business hours
• Once the porting date arrives, your number will go live in CloudTalk

6. Start Calling

The entire setup process takes 1–10 business days, with number migration typically completed in about 5 days. Once you’re live, just log in and start making and receiving calls—same number, better service.
