Port numbers
Are you looking to use your existing numbers with Aircall? We’re here to guide you through the porting process. Follow the instructions in this article. to get started.
Please keep in mind:
Not all numbers are portable. Based on number type and other factors, our team will identify what's possible early on in the process.
It may take a few weeks or more. The process will take at least two weeks and is fully dependent on how quickly your current carrier responds to our porting request.
We need specific information from you and your provider. We’ll ask you for the most recent phone bill from your carrier and other important pieces of information. The more you give us, the quicker we can help you.

Frequently asked questions
To access the Aircall dashboard and phone apps, you must first be invited by an Aircall admin on your account. They will have to create a new user following these steps. If you need to use the Aircall dashboard, ask them to make you an Admin. If you only need access to our phone apps, they can make you a User, instead.
Once you are invited to join Aircall, you will receive an invite via email to Accept. From here, you will be prompted to create a password for your Aircall account. You can then use this password to login to the Aircall dashboard (if you’re an Admin) or any of our other apps—which you can download here. Should you ever forget your password, simply click Forgot password on the login screen. Clicking this link will send you an email prompting you to choose a new password. Please check your Spam folder if you have any trouble finding an email from Aircall.
To simplify logging in for your admins and users, Aircall also offers Google Sign-In as an option. If your company uses Google as its email provider, read through this article to learn how to activate and use Google Sign-In on your account.
While it’s very easy to create a number from scratch in the Aircall dashboard, some numbers require additional steps to complete the process. Several countries restrict the use of local and toll-free numbers to individuals and businesses living in the geographical region of the number. When your number requires further verification, you will see a message show up in the Aircall dashboard, as shown here. This article will also walk you through the document submission process. You can find a list of the documents needed per country and number type, here.
If you are porting a number from an existing provider, the first step is to create a ticket with our Porting team. When submitting your ticket, be sure to provide as much documentation as possible to speed up the process.
There are several factors that can lead to call quality issues for users making calls over the internet. One of the first places to check is how your router is configured. Most routers allow for QoS (Quality of Service) configuration to prioritize voice traffic before other internet activities. Here are our recommendations for how to configure QoS for several popular routers. We also highly recommend users to connect the internet via an ethernet cable (Cat 5e or Cat 6) whenever possible.
It’s a good idea to ask your users to check if the devices and headsets they’re using to make calls are in line with our recommendations for VoIP. You can find our recommendations in this article. If you’ve applied all our recommendations already and your users are still experiencing call quality issues, please reach out to our support team for additional help. We’re here for you!
For contact sync to work properly, you will need to activate your CRM or Helpdesk as an integration in the Aircall dashboard. Once you install the relevant integration, please follow the steps listed in this article to enable contact sync.
Some common reasons why contact sync might not be working on your account are: a) your Aircall integration and contact sync settings are incorrect, b) your contact phone numbers are listed in the wrong field within your CRM or Helpdesk, or c) your phone numbers are saved in an incompatible format.
If you cannot solve the problem using the tips from the article mentioned above, please reach out to our support team for additional help.
In Aircall, there are two-hour management features you need to be aware of. The first feature, called Business hours, is how you can manage the hours your individual phone lines are open. Here is an article explaining how to make adjustments to Business hours for specific numbers in your Aircall dashboard. Updates to Business hours can be scheduled within a week in advance of holidays.
The second feature, called Working hours, is how you can manage the hours your individual users are available to take calls. These settings can either be adjusted by specific users in the Aircall app (we recommend this approach) or adjusted by admins in the Aircall dashboard. Users can also make quick adjustments to their availability status within our phone apps, as explained here.
Any Aircall admin can access up to 6 months of their team’s call recordings directly through the Stats - Overview section of the Aircall dashboard. Simply select your desired date range and click the Export selection button in the upper-right corner. A data export, including call recording links, will be emailed to you in just a few moments. Admins on our Professional plan can also export and view call recordings in real-time via our Analytics and Activity feed sections, respectively.
For more information about managing call recordings, including accessing data beyond 6 months, please reference this helpful article on our Knowledge Base.
