    • When porting numbers, your requested port date

    • Fax number(s) and email(s) for fax-to-email applications
    • "Ship To Address" for shipment of an ATA device
  11. Click Save Order

An Letter of Authorization (LOA) will now be generated that you can print and send to your customer for signature. Once the LOA is signed, it can either be emailed to lnp@bluip.com or faxed to 702-485-2957.

Orders will not be place without a signed LOA.

Depending on the current service provider, the porting interval can take anywhere from 5 to 15 business days.  This interval varies depending on the service level agreement (SLA) the provider has with BluIP’s resellers.

The porting interval for Projects (orders of 50 or more numbers) will take longer.

Tracking your order

Orion then generates a ticket to track the progress of the order.  This information is available for your review by going to the "Customer's" account and selecting the "Tickets" tab.

Tickets remain in the account forever, however after 7 days with a status of "resolved", the ticket will be closed.  To view closed tickets, filter the Ticket list by selecting  "Ticket Status"  and filter by typing in "Resolved" in the drop-down box.

Tracking your order

The ticketing system will also generate an email notification for actions relative to taken such as submitting an order, order rejection, received FOC (Firm Order Confirmation) or in need or additional information
