@r_jammu, number porting does not require the sending and receiving accounts to have the same ownership.  The only thing required is the acknowledgment that the porting is authorized, meaning the person who owns the number is on board with the porting.  With respect to problems porting from Rogers, you have to be careful entering the account number.  On the bill the account number is parsed by hyphens.  When entering the account number into the porting screen, those hyphens are not be included.  Only enter the numbers without spacing.  In general, this is the format for entering the sending account number.  If the system will let you attempt a port again, give this a try.  If the system is not allowing a second attempt, then the moderator team should be contacted for assistance as already suggested.

You can try later but you can already ask for help to the moderator here... https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage and write moderator_team in send to explain what happened. Waiting time is few hours to 2 days.

@r_jammu  - at the time you specify the number you want to port, there is no check of account owner, etc.  That would only happen after you enter the account information in the form (account number, PIN number IMEI, etc.)
