How do I move phone numbers to a different Account?

If you have multiple Accounts configured in the Bandwidth Dashboard, you can move up to 5,000 phone numbers between them via a Move Phone Numbers order. This process is similar to moving numbers between Sub-accounts and Locations within the same Account, but please keep in mind that: 

• The Accounts must belong to the same customer
• The user must have access to both Accounts
• The user has to have either Configuration or Line Features role enabled
• Move Phone Numbers order can’t be used to move external numbers. Please continue to use the Import Numbers tab for that.

To move phone numbers to a different Account:

1. Log into the Bandwidth Dashboard.
2. In the top navigation bar, select Numbers and click My Numbers.
3. Select the Move Numbers tab. 
4. Under Phone Numbers, you can either enter the numbers manually or upload a CSV file with a list of them.
5. Select your target Destination Account, Sub-account and Location.

6. Click Move Numbers. A notification will appear at the top of the page with a View Order link.

7. Click the View Order link to go to the Move Phone Numbers Order Details page where you’ll see all the standard order information. If the numbers have been moved from another Account, you’ll see it listed as the Source Account.
