InquirePortActivationStatus Usage
Checks the status of an active port request.
Either InquirePort or InquirePortActivation status will enable clients to check the status of an AddPort request. Using the InquirePortActivationStatus API, partners can confirm that the AddPort request has succeeded, so they can proceed with subsequent subscriber activation steps.
Use Cases
These are some examples of when a partner would use InquirePortActivationStatus after submitting a port request:
Automated Workflows for Business Accounts
Suppose a company is moving to a new mobile service provider and needs to port multiple employee phone numbers. The partner can set up an automated workflow to streamline the activation process.
After the AddPort request, the system can automatically call the InquirePortActivationStatus API and, based on the response, proceed to the next activation step.
Port Activation Notifications
If customers want to be notified when their port activation is complete, the partner can use the InquirePortActivationStatus API to monitor the status of the AddPort request, and once the activation is successful, notify the customer that their new service is active.
