How to setup additional iPlum numbers on same device?

Important: iPlum app holds one iPlum number but if you are using multiple numbers for incoming calls only, you can setup call forwarding from multiple iPlum lines to main iPlum number to receive all incoming calls in same app.  There are setting in call forwarding feature which allows you to see on which iPlum number the call came to distinguish between calls.  You can also route unanswered calls to that number’s specific voicemail greeting. If you need to use outbound calling in iPlum app showing each number separately OR you need texting for both lines you would either need to logout of one account & login to another or install them on different devices.  It can be a phone or a tablet.

Let's say you have already setup an iPlum phone number X. Now you want to purchase an additional iPlum number Y.  The goal is to receive calls from both numbers on the same device.

You can repeat this process for any number of additional iPlum phone numbers on one device.

A. Setup Additional iPlum Number (Y).

Note: If you have already purchased additional iPlum number, you can skip this step.

1. Login to your primary iPlum Account online.
2. Dashboard || Users || Add New User (Phone/Fax). Create a new user with an email address as login-id.
   Click the link you receive in SMS or Email to setup new password for this user. The additional user is now connected to your primary account.
3. Dashboard || Users || Click iPlum Login ID of the new user.
   Click "Get iPlum Number" to setup a new iPlum number for this user. Lets say that number is Y.
