  • Normal (default)
    Normal number on this exchange.
  • Ported to
    Number from a different exchange that has been ported to this exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to this exchange).
  • Ported from

  • Recently moved
    Number that a subscriber has recently stopped using, to change to another exchange or to another number on this exchange. When someone calls this number, the VP3000 plays an announcement about the change (but does not give out the new number).
  • Reserved - old number
    Number that has previously been used and is being kept for a period of time before re-use.
  • Reserved for future use
    Number that has been reserved for future use.
