Ported tel no not showing on settings

Porting a phone number from one carrier to another is indeed a carrier-specific process, and Apple, as the manufacturer of the iPhone and other iOS devices, does not have a direct role in this process.

Porting a phone number refers to the process of transferring a phone number from one mobile carrier to another. This allows customers to change service providers while retaining their existing phone number. It is a common practice and regulated by telecommunication authorities in various countries.

Each mobile carrier has its own procedures and requirements for porting numbers. Customers who wish to switch to a different carrier must initiate the porting process with their new carrier. This typically involves providing some personal information, account details, and the phone number to be ported. The new carrier then coordinates with the current carrier to facilitate the transfer.
