Number Portability Query Service Romania

For companies and integrators, number portability isn’t just a statistic: it’s a factor that can significantly impact costs, segmentation relevance, and communication efficiency. Our service identifies the real operator of ported Romanian numbers, available via API or through the platform, with daily data updates.

• In a context where over 1.5 million numbers were ported in Romania in 2025 alone, segmentation based only on prefixes no longer guarantees correct routing of messages or calls.

• Companies using SMS or voice calls need real operator data in order to:

  • avoid unexpected routing costs,

  • optimize delivery and reporting,

  • automate segments before sending,

  • maintain database accuracy.

With the SMS Portability service:

You optimize operational costs through correct routing, without losses caused by outdated data.

You improve segmentation quality and the accuracy of SMS, voice, or notification campaigns.

You automate critical flows via real-time API access, integrable with CRM/ERP.

Access the service directly in the platform or integrate it via API for automated checks and real-time updates.

In 2025, around 1.5 million phone numbers were transferred between electronic communications providers in Romania, with users benefiting from the ability to switch providers without losing their phone number. Since the launch of number portability in Romania in October 2008, more than 14.1 million numbers have been transferred between networks.

Last year, 1,497,999 phone numbers were ported, of which 97% were mobile numbers, the remainder being fixed-line numbers. On average, in 2025 more than 124,000 portings were carried out per month, with December recording the highest volume—over 170,000.

ANCOM data indicates that portability is used predominantly by individuals in the case of mobile telephony (86% of ported mobile numbers), while for fixed-line telephony, porting requests come mainly from legal entities (75% of ported fixed-line numbers).

In 2025, 1,453,878 mobile numbers were ported. Most users chose Digi Romania’s offers, which received 782,975 numbers. Vodafone received 379,453 numbers via porting, Orange 247,364, and Telekom Romania Mobile Communications 44,078. Of the total mobile numbers ported in 2025, 64% (933,992) were numbers used under a subscription plan.

As for fixed-line telephony, 44,121 numbers were ported in 2025, most of them transferred to Orange (17,568), Digi Romania (11,379), and Vodafone (5,661).

In 2025, ANCOM recorded around 1,560 petitions regarding phone number portability, with users reporting, in particular, the cancellation of porting processes, in the context of retention offers made by providers they intended to leave. ANCOM monitors compliance with the rules on number portability and reminds providers that any practices that may discourage or unjustifiably delay the porting process run counter to the principles of competition in the electronic communications services market.
