Swap a number

Need to swap your user's primary number for another one? Log in at Dialpad.com, and navigate to Admin Settings  

  1. Navigate to Office 
  2. Select Users 
  3. Find your user and select Options 
  4. Select Calling 
  5. Select Swap Phone Number
  6. From the pop-up window, you can choose the following:
    • Select by searching area code or major city name for a number
    • Select one of our suggested numbers 
    • Select Unassigned Numbers to pull from your unassigned pool 


Once you confirm the changes, your user's previous number will be placed in your Unassigned Numbers for you to access later on or reassign elsewhere.

Don't forget — there is a fee for maintaining numbers in your Reserved Pool.

Reassign an unassigned or reserved number

New team members, or perhaps a promotion earned a new line? No problem, reassigning unassigned numbers is easy.
