SIP portability and call forwarding

Keep an existing business number by using a supported SIP porting or forwarding path without confusing number ownership.

Three common number paths

  • Use a new NevoDesk-enabled number and publish it to customers.
  • Forward the existing business number to the NevoDesk-enabled destination while the original carrier remains responsible for the number.
  • Port an eligible number to a supported SIP or telephony provider so the new provider becomes responsible for call delivery.

Before porting

  • Confirm the current carrier account, exact service address, authorized owner, number type, portability, and any contractual restrictions.
  • Do not cancel the old service before the port completes.
  • Preserve emergency-service, fax, alarm, messaging, or multi-number dependencies that may share the current account.
  • Plan a cutover window, fallback number, and inbound/outbound validation calls.

What NevoDesk records

NevoDesk records the chosen connection method, the number or SIP identity, workspace/location assignment, provider state, test evidence, and operational route. Introductory-offer eligibility can also consider a previously used SIP connection or forwarded number so changing email addresses does not create a second business promotion.
