Purchase the appropriate number lease entitlement from Salesforce for each number type that you plan to port - 10-digit long code (10DLC) or toll-free number. After you purchase the required entitlement and it is provisioned in your Salesforce org, number porting is enabled for the org.

  1. From Setup, use Quick Find and go to Communication Channels.
  2. From the Numbers tab, click Add External Number.
  3. Click Port Number.
  4. Go through the information on the screen and click Next.
  5. Select a country and then enter your number. You don’t need to add your country code with the number.
    Add phone number without the country code.
  6. Click Submit.
  7. Your number is queued for porting. To complete the process, you must submit documentation. You will receive an email with the details of the documentation to be submitted. Reply to the email and attach all required documentation. The porting process takes about two weeks to complete.

After your number is successfully ported, create and configure a PSTN voice channel  to make and answer calls from your ported number from Agentforce Contact Center.
