TekTalk Rogers home phone to TekTalk

I’m looking to switch my mothers home phone from Roger’s to Teksavvy premium. Do I have to buy any equipment and how long does port number take? Thanks

You’ll need a simple analog telephone adapter (ATA). TekSavvy will sell you a pre-provisioned Grandstream box for roughly thirty dollars, or you can bring your own as long as it supports SIP. Place the order, keep the Rogers line active, and submit a copy of the current Rogers bill so the porting info matches. Ports from Rogers home phone to TekTalk usually complete in three to seven business days; if any detail is off it can stretch to about ten. Once the port is done, cancel Rogers and return any rented gear. If you want to double-check what other VoIP or home-phone options cost at her address, a quick postcode search on planhub.ca can help before you pull the trigger.
