Switching questions
How do I switch from another provider?
Sign up, get approved, then port your numbers in. Keep your old service until the port completes so you never miss a call.
Can I keep my existing number?
Yes. Porting is included on Team and Business. Start a port from Numbers once your account is approved; you keep using your old provider until the move completes.
How long does porting take?
Usually one to two weeks, depending on your current carrier. We show the status of each port in your account.
How does pricing work?
Each plan is one monthly price that includes a set number of users and phone numbers. Add users or numbers whenever you need them: on Starter and Team an extra user is $15 and an extra number $5; on Business an extra user is $12 and an extra number $5. Adding users does not change the plan's shared minute pool.
