Already own a phone number through a different service and want to use it in LeadSimple? Read on to learn more about the pros and cons of porting a number into LeadSimple and also how to do it.
Pros of porting over a phone number into LeadSimple
Porting a phone number over into LeadSimple allows you to:
Send and receive texts through LeadSimple to and from that phone number. (note that this requires that the phone number is a mobile enabled number)
Track inbound calls made to the phone number automatically. (Outbound calls are tracked automatically even when a phone number is hosted on a different platform. Learn more about outbound calls here.)
Cons of porting over a phone number into LeadSimple
Note that porting a phone number into LeadSimple means:
You can no longer use the phone number on any other service you used the phone number with previously.
Note: Please note that you will lose all access to the phone number outside of LeadSimple - your number will effectively become a LeadSimple phone number.
