How do I change my Sideline phone number?

While Sideline numbers are meant to be permanent, we understand there are circumstances where a new phone number might be necessary.

Please note:

• You can change your number through the Sideline app once every 24 hours (Example: If you change your number at noon, you will not be able to change it again until noon the following day).
• You will have 30 seconds to choose a new number before the session times out.
• You do NOT need to delete or cancel your account to change your number. You can change it within the Sideline mobile app (steps seen below).
• Once you change your number, you will not receive calls and messages to the old number (Sideline does not have the ability to forward calls from one Sideline number to another) 

To change your phone number within the Sideline app:

1. Sideline Settings.
2. Tap Account info. 
3. Tap your current Sideline number.
4. On the next screen, tap on Change Sideline Number.
   • Android: Tap Continue to choose a new number starting with the area code.
   • iOS: Tap Search by City, or Search by Area Code to find a new number (see below for more info)

(iOS users) How to search for a Sideline number by city/location:
