Move Phone Numbers Between Sub-Accounts in the Same Agency

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Use Settings → Phone Integration → Move Numbers to reassign US or Canada numbers between sub-accounts inside the same Sparkforge agency. Sparkforge Phone-to-Sparkforge Phone and same-master Twilio-to-Twilio moves are supported in-app.

Move Numbers reassigns phone numbers from one sub-account to another inside the same agency. The tool lives at Settings → Phone Integration. Supported moves run in-app; everything else needs a different path.

What Move Numbers Supports

Source → DestinationSupported in-app?
Sparkforge Phone ↔ Sparkforge Phone (same agency)Yes
Twilio ↔ Twilio (same master Twilio account)Yes
Twilio ↔ Twilio (different master accounts)No — contact Twilio Support
Twilio ↔ Sparkforge Phone (provider conversion)No — follow conversion guide
Non US/Canada numbersNo — open a Sparkforge support ticket

Before You Start

  • Confirm admin access to both source and destination sub-accounts.
  • Grab the destination Location ID (Sub-account ID) from Settings → Business Profile.
  • Confirm the current phone provider — Sparkforge Phone or Twilio at the agency level.
  • Note that A2P registration does not move with the number. Reattach the correct brand and campaign in the destination after the move.

Move the Numbers

Step 1: Open Move Numbers

Go to Agency Settings → Phone Integration. Under Sub-account Settings, click Move Numbers.

Step 2: Pick Source, Destination, and Numbers

Choose the destination sub-account by name or paste the Location ID. Select the phone numbers to move. Review the summary and click Move Numbers.

Step 3: Verify in the Destination

Once the move completes, the numbers appear in the destination sub-account. Re-check:

  • Forwarding rules
  • Call recordings and whispers
  • SMS and call flow assignments
  • User assignments
  • A2P brand and campaign attachment

Troubleshooting

Move Numbers Action Is Missing or Fails

  • Different Twilio masters. Numbers under separate Twilio master accounts cannot move in-app. Contact Twilio Support.
  • Missing regulatory bundle. Some countries (e.g., AU +61) require an approved Regulatory Bundle and Address SID in the destination before any move. Configure those first.
  • Provider mismatch. Twilio-to-Sparkforge or Sparkforge-to-Twilio is a conversion, not a move. Follow the dedicated conversion article.
  • Country not supported in-app. Open a Sparkforge support ticket for non-US/Canada moves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move multiple numbers at once?
Yes. Select multiple numbers in the Move Numbers dialog and submit them together.
Do I need to contact Twilio?
Not for in-app sub-account moves under the same Twilio master account. Cross-master moves and provider conversions need Twilio Support or a Sparkforge support ticket.
Does A2P registration move with the number?
No. A2P is sub-account-level. After the move, attach the number to the correct brand and campaign in the destination sub-account.
Can I move numbers from countries other than the US or Canada?
Not in-app. Open a Sparkforge support ticket for international moves — some countries also require regulatory bundles and address SIDs in the destination.
What happens to call forwarding and recordings after the move?
Number-level settings need to be re-verified in the destination. Check forwarding, recordings, whispers, and any automations that referenced the number.
