Record callToggle Record every call and type or upload the message informing your clients that the call is recorded. You can find the recording of each call in the call history dashboard: there, you can listen to the recording, download it, and read the transcript.

Working hoursToggle Set working hours to define when you are able to accept calls. Select your timezone, the days when you are available, and your starting and ending working time.

📤 Port your Brevo number to another provider
Number porting lets you keep your phone number when switching to a new provider. Follow these steps to transfer your Brevo number to a different carrier.
- Go to Conversations > Phone > Phone lines and locate the number you want to port.
- Obtain your port-out code. The method depends on your number's country:
- RIO code: For French (+33) numbers, call 3179 to get your code for free. If calling from your Brevo phone line, call 08 05 92 31 79 instead.
- Port-out PIN: Contact our support team for US (+1), German (+49), and other supported countries.
- Prepare your service address: the address you registered with Brevo Phone or the one in your account profile.
- Share your port-out code (PIN or RIO code) and service address with your new carrier when they submit the transfer request.
Allow up to 15 business days for the transfer to complete. Your new carrier handles the rest.
- Your number stays active in Brevo until the port completes.
- Before porting, export your call log and download individual call recordings from the call history page. To learn more, check our dedicated article About the call history dashboard and call reports.
