SIP.US provides an account security PIN that doubles as the security PIN required for authorizing DID port-out requests. Customers may access or modify this PIN at any time via the Customer Portal. This walkthrough shows where to find and set the account security PIN.
1. Log into your SIP.US account control panel and navigate to the Profile tab as shown in the image below:

3. The following message will display in a pop-up window: “This PIN will be used to protect your DID telephone numbers from unauthorized port-outs (slamming). We recommend you set a PIN code to be used as a security PIN on your account. If you decide to port your telephone numbers away in the future, you will need to provide this PIN code to the new carrier.
4. Copy and save the existing PIN or enter a new PIN and click Submit.
