This portability feature has no links with any provider, this feature only includes the service for giving the portability request add and then admin can accept or reject but the real portability with the provider will be done by admin on real time basis with the service provider. This feature just helps admin to recognise which numbers needs to be ported and what is the destination provider against which the porting needs to be done.
