Alliance is designed for small to medium-sized businesses. While its services are open for large businesses as well as small startups, they are ideal for teams of 20-50 people. All the features of their devices are designed to provide reliable and uninterrupted service. Porting generally takes 5-10 business days and they provide a temporary number for that duration of time. As a result, there is no downtime for the actual numbers that are being ported.
