What types of phone number can I get in Papua New Guinea?

Number availability in Papua New Guinea is confirmed case by case. Tell us the number type you need and we'll check current availability with our carriers before quoting.

How many calls can I take at the same time on a Papua New Guinea number?

Concurrency comes from the channels on your VoIP account, not from the number itself. Every account starts with 2 channels, which means 2 simultaneous calls across all your numbers. Extra channels are added at £5 each, so a 10-person support team taking 6 calls at once would need 6 channels. Numbers themselves are unlimited in quantity - you only pay for the concurrency you need.

Can I port my existing Papua New Guinea number to Telappliant?

Porting into Papua New Guinea is assessed case by case. Send us the number and current provider and we'll check whether the local carrier supports a transfer.

What do I need to provide to activate a Papua New Guinea number?

Most countries require proof of identity for the account holder and, for local numbers, an address - sometimes one within the number's area. Any rules specific to Papua New Guinea are listed in the service restrictions on this page. Telappliant handles the carrier-side paperwork; we'll ask you only for what the regulator requires.
