Buy / Order – National Numbers
peoplefone can provide you with new phone numbers from different area codes from Switzerland. If you are already a customer of peoplefone, then you can choose your own numbers in your customer account under Buy / Order and buy them via the store system.
Port existing phone numbers
If you are now with a provider and have existing phone numbers and want to port them to peoplefone, then this is no problem. In order to port numbers, you first need a customer account with peopleofone, which you can register for free on our website.
If you have successfully logged in to the customer account, you will find the porting authorization in the menu link under Contracts / Document, which you must complete and sign and return to the e-mail address provided.
We will then submit this porting on the other side and get the number to peoplefone. You can also find more information about phone numbers on our website in the phone numbers section.

We need a lead time of seven working days to schedule this action.

The splitting of phone numbers is partly possible, but must be checked. DDI call number blocks may only be split in increments of 10. For example, if you have a call number block of 20, this must be halved.
