FAQ
Switching from PhoneBurner: questions
Still unsure? Talk to our team.
Reviewed by the TalkerIQ product team · Updated
Can I switch from PhoneBurner before my contract ends?
PhoneBurner offers monthly and annual billing. Check your PhoneBurner agreement for its term and renewal date. You can set up TalkerIQ on a temporary number at any time and move fully when you are ready.
Will I lose my caller ID numbers if I leave PhoneBurner?
Numbers you verified as your own caller ID belong to your carrier, not PhoneBurner, so leaving PhoneBurner doesn't affect them — port them to TalkerIQ or keep them where they are. For numbers bought through PhoneBurner, ask PhoneBurner support before you cancel.
Can I port numbers I bought through PhoneBurner?
PhoneBurner's public help center doesn't publish a port-out process, so contact support@phoneburner.com before you cancel and ask which details its carrier needs. Send them to us and we file and track the port.
What happens to my PhoneBurner contacts and call history?
Export contacts, dispositions, call history and recordings from PhoneBurner before you cancel. Import your lists into TalkerIQ or keep working from your CRM — TalkerIQ logs new calls and texts to HubSpot, Salesforce and more.
Can TalkerIQ help me move my PhoneBurner setup?
Yes. Share your call flows, call groups and CRM workflows and we will help rebuild them on TalkerIQ — plus set up the IVR, texting and AI agents you didn't have before.
How long does it take to move from PhoneBurner?
Most teams are dialing on TalkerIQ the same day. Number ports depend on the carriers involved; dial from a temporary TalkerIQ number in the meantime, so there is no downtime.
