Does SMS automatically transfer along with voice when I port numbers to Genesys Cloud Voice?

No. The Genesys Cloud Voice number porting process is specifically designed for voice service numbers.

If you would like to transfer your SMS service to Genesys Cloud along with your voice service, you need to take additional steps after you initiate the porting process. To begin, when you respond to your port submission confirmation email, please use Reply All and add a note to your message informing the team that you would like to port your SMS service along with the voice service. Our team will then begin the SMS service porting process. SMS services can typically transfer 3-5 days after the voice port, during which time SMS will not be available on the number.

If you would like your SMS service to remain with your current carrier, you will need to contact them after the voice port is complete and request that they reconnect the SMS service to the number.
