How to transfer your number to GoDaddy Conversations
- Call a GoDaddy Guide at (480)-366-3550. They'll help you get a paid plan if you don't already have one, and direct you to a link to submit your transfer form. If there are any issues, we'll email the address you provided on your transfer form.
- GoDaddy will work directly with your current carrier to complete the transfer. It takes 5 to 15 business days, depending on the carrier. It's unlikely that there'll be any downtime, but if there is, it'll be minimal.
- You'll receive an email confirmation when the transfer is complete.
