Mobile numbers (+47 4xx or +47 9xx) are not portable to VoIP operators. If you already have a mobile number you would like to use for outbound calls on CloudTalk, we can create a Virtual Caller ID of your existing number


Required Porting Documents

The following applies to all Norwegian number types (local, national, toll-free):

  • Signed Letter of Authorization (LOA)

    • Must be completed and signed by an authorized representative

    • Information must exactly match the current provider's records
      - template attached as a .zip at the bottom of this guide

  • Latest Invoice from Your Current Provider

    • Must be issued within the last 30 days

    • Should show the number(s) to be ported and the account holder’s name

Other Compliance Documents

In addition to porting documentation, Norwegian authorities require that businesses provide valid registration proof:

Brønnøysund Register Center (Brønnøysundregistrene) is the official Norwegian government registry for businesses. It maintains records of all legal entities registered in Norway, including their official name, address, and registration status.

To host a Norwegian number with CloudTalk, you must submit:

  • Business registration certificate

Step-by-Step Porting Process

  2. We review the request to check number portability and confirm next steps

  3. You complete and sign the LOA (Letter of Authorization)

  4. You send us the LOA and a recent invoice from your current provider

  5. CloudTalk submits the porting request to our partner carrier

  6. Our carrier forwards the request to your current telecom provider for approval

  7. If accepted, we’ll notify you of the confirmed porting date (usually 2- 4 business days in advance)

  8. If rejected, we’ll share the rejection reason and assist you in correcting the information for resubmission.


Common Rejection Reasons

Contact your current service provider before submitting a porting request to CloudTalk. They can advise you on all information regarding your numbers


Read the section "What Should You Verify With Your Current Provider?" in CloudTalk Recommendations for a Smooth Port to know what to check with them in advance.

Issue

Explanation

Business registration not submitted or expired

Submit updated certificate from Brønnøysund Register Center

Mismatched Info

Invoice or LOA details do not match provider records

Confirm your data with provider before submitting LOA

Inactive Number

Ask your provider to reactivate the number

Outdated Invoice

Invoice older than 30 days

Submit a recent billing document with matching number details

  • Your previous provider will release and deactivate the number

  • You’ll begin receiving inbound calls through CloudTalk

  • CloudTalk billing begins the same day
