Your number porting request could be rejected due to the following reasons:

Contact your current carrier(s) and confirm the information on file.
Complete a new Letter of Authorization (LOA) matching the information on file. Here is the link to the LOA form —http://www.twilio.com/resources/docs/Letter_of_Authorization.pdf
