# Numbers - Port In Eligibility

> Check if a phone number is eligible for port-in before submitting a full port request. Returns carrier information and eligibility status.

**What this does:** Returns a `Eligible` boolean, the number's current carrier, and number type. Run this before submitting a port-in to avoid failed orders. If `Eligible` is false, the `Message` field explains why.

**Next steps:**
- If eligible, submit the port-in — `POST /v1.0/numbers/portin`
