# Advanced porting

This section is for advanced porting operations, like on demand activating numbers, getting available numbers for activation, and more.
If you are looking for basic porting operations like creating an order, checking portability, and more, please refer to the Port-in numbers section.



## List port-in activation groups

 - [GET /orders/portIns/{orderId}/availableActivations](https://developers.sinch.com/docs/numbers/api-reference/porting/advanced-porting/getportinavailableactivation.md): Retrieve Port-In Order Available Activation Groups
This operation allows you to get a list of phone number groups currently available for activation on a port-in order. FOC (portDate) must be today or earlier, and the numbers must be in routing on the Sinch network.

## On demand activation

 - [POST /orders/portIns/{orderId}/activate](https://developers.sinch.com/docs/numbers/api-reference/porting/advanced-porting/activateportin.md): Activate numbers that are ready to be ported.
Confirmation date (FOC) must be today or earlier,
and the numbers must be in routing on the Sinch network (occurs at midnight on the date of the port, after concurrence,
or following the 18-hour wireline port timer expiration on expedited ports).

 In order to send SMS and MMS messages in the US using 10DLC phone numbers, all messages must be sent via an approved campaign. Your campaigns are managed under US 10DLC Campaigns in the SMS section. A number can be associated to an approved campaign after the port completes.
