Port In Your Local US Number

We understand the years of marketing and branding you have done with your "old" phone number. Not to worry, switching to Dialpad doesn't mean you will lose your number and recognition.

Porting allows you to change service providers while keeping your existing numbers.

Let's dive into the details.

Initiate a Port Request

Before initiating a port request, make sure you have the following information:

• The account owner's name
• The associated service address
• The list of the numbers you want to port
• The associated account number (typically only needed for mobile numbers)
• The associated PIN number (typically only needed for mobile numbers)

To port in a local number, head to your Admin Settings from Dialpad.com 

1. Navigate to Office settings
2. Select Number Porting
3. Select New Port Request 
4. Enter the phone number you would like ported in, and select Create Request 

Batching Numbers

Need to port in multiple numbers? Administrators can batch up to 5000 local numbers, separated by commas. 

Ex:1 (555) 555-9876,1 (555)-1234,15555677

Account Info and Number Assignment

Each local number will have a drop-down menu for you to enter your account information.

From here, you'll also be able to assign the number to a team member, Department, room phone, etc. 

Select Assign Number to pull up the search field where you can search for who you'd like to assign the number to (you also have the option to keep existing numbers already assigned).

Select Day and Time

Before submitting a port request, Admins can select the day and time they'd like to have their ports completed.

Port Status

Porting does take time, but rest assured we will inform you once the port has been completed. Additionally, after successfully submitting your port, Administrators will see a green success bar under Completed Ports.

If there's a hiccup in the request, we'll alert the Administrator via email and with a red banner within your Porting screen that lists the steps to correct the issue.
