Supported Types of Number Transfers





Possible reasons why we can't move the numbers:


1. Different Twilio Master Accounts
If the source number is under a different Twilio master account, you'll need to manually request the transfer via Twilio Support. 


To perform this action, both Twilio account owners will need open a ticket with Twilio support here:

Moving Twilio Phone Numbers to another Twilio Account


You can identify the Account SID in the Agency Settings > Twilio page > https://app.gohighlevel.com/settings/phone_integration


Create a support ticket with Twilio support with the following details:

 

Email Subject: Moving numbers request


Email Template:


Hi Twilio Support,

I would like to move the following phone number(s) to a new sub-account -
+1 PASTE_TWILIO_NUMBER_HERE 

Losing sub-account SID - E.g. AC8a0eac4ea7651eba06137bbf1a907df62d < Replace the Twilio sub-account SID where the number is currently in 



Gaining sub-account SID - E.g. AC8a0eac4ea7651eba06137bbf1a907df62d < Replace the Twilio sub-account SID here where the number should be moved to



Time-frame: ASAP

Please process this request at the earliest because it is business-critical for me

Thanks!




2. Regulatory Bundles / Address Not Configured
Certain numbers (e.g., Australian numbers +61) require verified bundles/addresses on the destination sub-account. Without them, the number cannot be moved.


To move the number, please set up a bundle/address in the destination subaccount: Purchase Twilio Number - "Please Select Bundle/Address to Purchase Number"


After the steps are done in the article above, please create a support ticket with Twilio support using the template above.


Error: Request failed with status code 400

If the tool doesn’t work for LC Phone to LC Phone transfers:

  • Moving numbers
