LC Phone removes the need to integrate a third-party telephony provider (Twilio, Plivo, etc.) in order to send or receive SMS/calls in the CRM. With LC Phone, sending and receiving SMS/calls works right out of the box.
LC Phone is now available to every agency, there's no separate access request or validation step before you begin. Read more about it here.
Why LC Phone?
Moving to LC Phone gives you:
- A one-click quick start — no separate Twilio/Plivo account to configure.
- Better, real-time billing.
- Increased security and a better message delivery rate.
Once your agency is connected to LC Phone, Automatically Link Phone System is enabled by default for newly created sub-accounts.
Agencies can change this preference under:
Settings → Phone Integration → Account Creation.
Existing sub-accounts are not migrated automatically, you'll link the existing sub-accounts you want to migrate using Step 2 below.
Step 1 — Switch Your Agency to LC Phone
Before you can move any sub-accounts, your agency itself needs to be switched over to the LeadConnector phone system.
Go to Settings → Phone Integration → Agency Settings tab and click Switch to LeadConnector Phone System.
A2P 10DLC registration from your own Twilio account does not migrate to LC Phone. If an affected sub-account was previously registered for A2P through your Twilio account, it must complete A2P registration again through the HighLevel Trust Center after moving to LC Phone, and the applicable registration fees will apply again.
Once the new A2P registration is approved, confirm that each applicable phone number is attached to the approved campaign before resuming A2P messaging.
Once confirmed, your agency is on LC Phone, the Agency Settings tab now shows a "Connected to LeadConnector" summary with usage insights. All new sub-accounts created from this point forward are automatically on LC Phone.
Move your existing sub-accounts over with Step 2.
Step 2 — Move Existing Sub-Accounts to LC Phone
From the agency level, go to Settings → Phone Integration → Sub Account Settings tab. This table lists every sub-account and its current phone-system status under Managed By.
Use the Search sub-accounts by... box to find the sub-account by name. A sub-account not yet on LC Phone shows Not available under Managed By.
Click the ⋮ (three-dot) icon at the right-hand end of that sub-account's row.
Select Link to LeadConnector from the menu, review the confirmation prompt, and confirm to kick off the migration.
You don't need to do anything else during this phase — the old sub-account keeps working normally on its existing provider while the migration processes in the background. Once the phone numbers have moved, the sub-account switches over automatically and Managed By updates to a green ✓ LC Phone badge.
Sub-accounts are linked one at a time from this table. If you're moving a large number of them, use Export above the table to get a full list first, then work through it and track which ones show the LC Phone badge.
A Regulatory Bundle is not required for US or Canadian phone numbers. Select Link to LeadConnector to begin the migration.
The existing phone service remains active while the migration is processing. Once migration is complete, Managed By will update to ✓ LC Phone.
Important: If the sub-account uses A2P 10DLC, A2P registration from the previous Twilio account does not migrate and must be completed again under LC Phone.
Migration processing time can vary. If the migration remains pending beyond the expected processing window, contact HighLevel Support.
Depending on the country and number type, you may need an approved Regulatory Bundle and Address before the number can be migrated.
In the sub-account, go to: Settings → Phone System → Regulatory Bundles.
Create and submit the required Address and Regulatory Bundle. Once approved, return to Agency Settings → Phone Integration → Sub Account Settings and follow Step 2 to continue the migration. Migration time can vary depending on the country, number type, and regulatory requirements.
Historical call recordings and voicemails are not transferred to LC Phone during migration. They remain associated with the previous Twilio account. Download any historical recordings or voicemail assets you need to retain before closing the Twilio account or losing access to it.
Once Managed By shows ✓ LC Phone:
- Confirm all expected phone numbers are present in the sub-account.
- Complete A2P registration again for applicable US local numbers that previously used A2P through the old Twilio account.
- Once A2P is approved, confirm the applicable phone numbers are attached to the approved campaign.
- Verify any required Toll-Free or country-specific compliance status.
- Test one inbound and outbound voice call.
- Test inbound and outbound SMS where applicable.
- Confirm phone routing and number assignments are configured as expected.
