Change Cloud PBX User Number to Service Number

Was anyone sucessful in converting a user number into a service number in Cloud PBX in North America? Support told me to port the number out and back in again as a service number.  When AA and Call queues were in preivew this was possable, but not since these features are generally avalable.

    Thank you for you assistance! MS support was able to convert this user number to a service number.

  • HI Clayton, Per my understanding this is still possible, Do you happen to have the support ticket number that you created? i can look to see what happened with it.

        Hi Jay

        We do have an option to submit an internal request to our Number porting team that may allow converting a user number already owned by MSFT into a service number. There may ne corner cases where this may not be possible but that is difficult to determine upfront.

        In your case i am not sure if we tried to go through this process, it seems to me that we did not. I am seeing that you may have worked with Seth Drake but I unfortunately do not have access or ability to check the case you provided or work on it as that case was created using a different ticketing system which is not used by Me and my team.

        What i would suggest you is if you can open up a new case again and when you have a support engineer available to work with you please loop me in on your email thread with the engineer and ill work with him to get this to the right place.
