How to Move Phone Numbers in Sparkforge: Migration Guide
Sparkforge handles phone number migrations end-to-end across five cases. Gather the right IDs (Twilio Account SID for US, Regulatory Bundle and Address SID for international) and open a Support ticket.
This guide covers moving an existing phone number in or out of Sparkforge so calls and SMS keep working. Open a Sparkforge Support ticket with the right IDs and a preferred cutover window. Sparkforge Support coordinates the migration end-to-end. You no longer need to open a Twilio support ticket.
Before you start
Gather these identifiers based on the numbers you're moving:
- US numbers: Twilio Account SID (gaining for outbound moves, losing for inbound), destination sub-account ID, and the phone number(s).
- International numbers: Regulatory Bundle SID, Address SID, and the phone number(s) including country.
Five migration cases
Case 1: Sparkforge to Twilio
Use this when moving a number from Sparkforge into your own Twilio account. For US numbers, include the gaining Twilio Account SID, destination subaccount (if used), and the numbers. For international, provide the Regulatory Bundle SID and Address SID instead of the Account SID.
Case 2: Twilio to Sparkforge
Use this when moving a number from your Twilio into Sparkforge. For US numbers, include the losing Twilio Account SID, destination Sparkforge sub-account ID, and the numbers. For international, include Regulatory Bundle SID and Address SID.
Case 3: Sparkforge to Sparkforge (different agencies)
Use this when moving a number between two different Sparkforge agencies. Provide the relevant Twilio Account SID for US (or Regulatory Bundle SID and Address SID for international), the destination agency and sub-account ID, and the numbers.
Cases 1, 2, and 3 follow the same process: provide the appropriate Twilio Account SID (gaining or losing), destination sub-account ID, and numbers. International moves use Regulatory Bundle SID and Address SID instead.
Case 4: Sparkforge to Sparkforge (same agency)
Use this when transferring a number between two sub-accounts inside one Sparkforge agency. The built-in Move Numbers tool handles it: Settings > Phone Integration > Move Numbers. Pick source numbers, choose the destination sub-account, and complete the transfer. It supports Sparkforge Phone to Sparkforge Phone and transfers across Twilio-connected sub-accounts under the same Twilio master. If the tool fails, contact Support with source and destination location IDs.
Case 5: Port a non-Twilio number into Sparkforge
Use this when your number sits with a non-Twilio carrier and you want it managed in Sparkforge. Gather the numbers and any carrier paperwork, then open a Support ticket with your desired cutover window.
