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. Just select Assign Number to pull up the search field where you can search for who you'd like to assign the number to. You will also have the option to keep the existing numbers already assigned.

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.
