# What is the difference between simple and complex fax number porting?

![notifyre\_australia\_flag\_icon\_024674a429](https://support.notifyre.com/hubfs/notifyre_australia_flag_icon_024674a429.svg) Region applicable: Australia

When porting a fax number to Notifyre, the process is classified as either **simple** or **complex**, depending on the configuration of the number and associated services.

### Simple fax number porting

A **simple port** applies to fax numbers with a straightforward setup, such as:

- Standard business fax lines
- No additional services or routing
- No special hardware or digital hosting

**Cost**: $30 AUD

 

### Complex fax number porting

A **complex port** involves fax numbers with advanced configurations or additional services, including but not limited to:

- Duet services (fax and voice on the same line)
- Line Hunt
- In-dial ranges
- On Ramp services
- ISDN connections
- Digitally hosted numbers

**Cost**: $110 AUD

 

### Check with your current carrier

We recommend contacting your current service provider to confirm whether your fax number has any of the above configurations. This will help determine whether your port will be classified as **simple** or **complex** before submitting a porting request.
