[coll_smart_padding min="4" max="8"]  Implementation of iPlum Service:

It is a self-service signup.  iPlum establishes a separate 2nd line on your mobile phone with compliances required for call recording & text archiving.

You can implement compliance on an existing number or get a new iPlum number. It is same cost for both options.

Existing number transfer:  If you have an existing business number with a carrier which you want to use for CMS compliance, you will transfer that number to iPlum & get a new number from your carrier. iPlum is an app.  We do not provide dial-tone or internet.

Important: iPlum provides full bidirectional portability.  If for any reason in future, you need to transfer out your number from iPlum to another carrier of your choice you can easily do that at iPlum portal by unlocking it.

Example: Let’s say you have AT&T mobile service and want to use CMS compliance on that number.  You will port your existing AT&T number to iPlum & get a new number for that phone from AT&T after the iPlum port is complete which is 2-4 days.  Your base service will stay with AT&T.  During porting, the number will continue at AT&T.

Note: Opening an iPlum account needs a mobile number for verification purpose which can’t be same as your porting number.  If you have only one mobile number which you are porting into iPlum, you can request us to open an account for you with an email address so that you can port your mobile number.

Follow these steps to transfer your existing number to iPlum.
