There, please click on “Phone Settings” in the left-hand menu bar.
Alternatively, you can also click on “Manage Phone Numbers” directly in the my.easybell dashboard.

In the Overview of connections, please click on the connection whose settings you want to adjust.
3. Borrow a phone number
In the overview of your phone numbers, please click "Add Phone Number" in the upper right corner and then select "Borrow phone numbers from another Easybell account."
4. Link account
In the window that opens, you'll see a list of all accounts that are already linked. Click "Link Account" to add another Easybell account and make its phone numbers available in your own account.
4.1 Login Credentials
Enter the login credentials for the Easybell account from which you wish to borrow phone numbers. To do so, enter your customer number and, if necessary, the corresponding password. Click “Next” to establish the connection and proceed to the phone number selection screen. If the information is incorrect, a message will appear, and you can re-enter the details.

In the final step, select the connection to which the borrowed phone numbers should be assigned. If necessary, you can create an additional connection by clicking “Add New Connection.”
Confirm your selection by clicking “Assign.”

On the overview page for your phone numbers, the borrowed phone number will now appear with the note “Borrowed from …”.
6. Customize call signaling
Requirement: Incoming number signaling in e.164 format.
Please check that the Incoming number signaling of the phone numbers / blocks you want to install is set up in E.164 format. The settings can be found in the customer portal under "Phone functions" → "Manage phone numbers".
For more information, see "Form of phone numbers for incoming calls?".
Return the phone number
If you wish to return the borrowed phone number at a later time, simply click "Return Phone Number" in the details view. The phone number will then no longer be in use.
