Move Cisco Phones#
provider-only
Overview#
You can move phones between sites only if they are not assigned to users.
When moving a Cisco phone, you can choose whether to move the phone’s associated lines to the target site.
If Move lines to new site is selected, any associated lines are moved along with the phone where supported.
If Move lines to new site is not selected, the phone is moved without moving its lines. In this case, lines may be disassociated or left unchanged depending on the source and target site dial plan type.
Moving a phone between sites handles the situation where a phone is either physically moved or logically assigned to a different site.
If a phone is assigned in the Associated Devices list of a CUCM user, the phone is moved during a user move. See Move user (without services)

Moving phones from site to site#
As an administrator, you can move phones from one site to another.
When moving phones between sites, line handling depends on both the site dial plan type and the selection of the Move lines to new site option in the Move Cisco Phone form.
Certain conditions must be met for a site-to-site move to succeed. When moving a phone between sites, VOSS checks the following:
The source and target sites must reference the same NDL
The source and target sites must have the same country configured
The source and target sites must have the same type of site dial plan deployed
Whether the phones are assigned to users
Whether the phones are under same customer
Whether the phones are moving between sites
Note
Quick Add User with phone/line/EM/SNR/voicemail can be added to site and moved across the sites within the same country.

Moving Phones Between Non-SLC Sites with a DNR Configured
For moves between non-SLC sites with directory number routing (DNR) configured at either site, a warning appears stating that any lines associated to the phone being moved may not work correctly unless you take one of the recommended actions provided. See the Advanced Configuration Guide to perform the first recommended action.
