  Ive been trying for a week to port my Ringcentral phone number to a different carrier and they have been blocking my carrier and myself from completing the transfer. The carrier has made several requests and also called Ringcentral 3 times this has been going on for a week. I have called RingCentral many times and spoken with people in many departments including the porting team and no one seems to be able to help me.

Then it was discovered when Ringcentral declined the port they then closed my account and so now no one can help me port the number. When I tried to reactivate my account they refused and said it had been locked by the fraud department but there is  no reason why and I was told there was no way to contact the fraud department except by email and they do not seem to respond to emails.  I called and asked to talk to a administrator at Ringcentral and I was told this is not possible. 

Does anyone know a phone number for the fraud department? Ringcentral provides information on the website on reporting fraud but the phone number posted is disconnected there doesn't seem to be a valid way to report fraud at the Ringcentral website

I feel like Ringcentral is devoting all of their time and resources to stop me from porting out my phone number and if I understand correctly they are required to do this by the FCC and they say they will port out ringcentral phone numbers on their website 

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

I though I described the circumstances in detail.

 Now there has been another 2 days of spending a incredible amount of time talking on the phone and emails with Ringcental   customer service and still my carrier is blocked  for porting my phone number after 3 more attempts 

Today Ringcentral charged my credit card for another month of service so I  guess they have no intension of letting me close my account at least for another month

Hi @akjaxbeach We completely understand your frustrations and want you to know that we're actively coordinating with our Executive Response Team, who is already in contact with you to ensure your concerns are addressed. 


Thank you Mary the porting department contacted  me  and told me  yes they are working on it.

Today they notified me my phone number was successfully transferred I was so relieved  a week of countless phone calls and emails plus hours spent working on it my phone number had finally been moved to my new carrier.

A hour or so latter I received a call from Ringcentral on my Ringcentral app and I was surprised since I had been told my phone number was no longer listed at Ringcentral

It was a guy from Ringcentral  that told me my phone number had not been moved like I had been told and he then told me he was in charge of dealing with the complaint I made at the Better Business Bureau concerning  Ringcentral not porting out and moving my phone number and I wanted it ported as per Ringcentral policy and FCC requirements and I want them for port my number.

 Then he responded that he had delayed the port until the Nov 15th. I asked him why would he do such a thing and he said T Mobile had requested it be delayed until then and I told him that was completely not true at all T Mobile requested it be ported immediately and it was spelled out in the transfer request and so well documented and so he would never be able to make his story credible.

 I also in formed him that the department at T Mobile informed me they do thousands of number transfers all over the world daily and that it usually is completed in minutes and they cant remember a case like this  where it is a week long battle with no resolution 

It seems Ringcentral is going to punish me for making a BBB complaint !
