If you already have a business phone number, you can transfer (port) it to DreamFlow. Your contacts keep calling the same number — it just rings inside DreamFlow now.
Before You Start
- You must be the authorized account holder on the number.
- The number must be active (not disconnected) with your current provider.
- You will need your current provider's account number and PIN/password.
Steps
- Navigate to Settings > Phone & SMS.
- Click Port Existing Number.
- Enter the phone number you want to port.
- Fill in the Letter of Authorization (LOA) form:
- Your full legal name (as it appears on your phone account)
- Current provider name
- Account number with current provider
- Account PIN or password
- Billing address on the account
- Sign the LOA electronically.
- Click Submit Port Request.
Timeline
- Mobile numbers: Typically 1-3 business days
- Landline/VoIP numbers: Typically 5-10 business days
- Toll-free numbers: Typically 3-7 business days
During the Port
- Your number continues to work with your current provider until the port completes.
- DreamFlow provisions a temporary number so you can start using calling and SMS immediately.
- When the port completes, the temporary number is automatically replaced with your ported number.
- You receive an email and in-app notification when the port is complete.
Warning: Do not cancel your account with your current provider until the port is fully complete. Canceling early can cause the port to fail and you may lose the number.
Tip: If the port is rejected, the most common reason is a mismatch between the name/address on the LOA and what your current provider has on file. Double-check every field.
