A fair fit check
Switching
Do not cancel Talkroute before the port completes. Cancelling first can release the number.
Start a 14-day trial, invite your team, and build call menus, ring groups, and voicemail on the temporary number. Users and extensions are unlimited on both plans.
Note the account number, any account or port-out PIN, and the name and service address exactly as Talkroute has them. A recent bill helps.
List every Talkroute number, and note whether 10DLC texting is registered on it so you can re-register texting on D Line after the port.
Sign the Letter of Authorization (LOA) and submit the port from the phone numbers area of your workspace. Porting in is free, and eligibility and timing are confirmed before the move.
When D Line confirms the port, test inbound calls and texts, register texting (10DLC) if you use it, then cancel Talkroute.
Questions
Partly. Each Talkroute plan includes a set number of users (1 on Basic, 3 on Plus, 10 on Pro) and charges $5/month for each additional user, per its pricing page (Oct 2026). D Line includes unlimited users and extensions on both plans.
Ten users fit inside Talkroute Pro at $59/month; on Plus the same team would be $74/month with seven extra users. D Line Base is $20/month and Advanced $35/month for ten, or a hundred, users.
No. Talkroute lists call recording on Pro and Enterprise only. D Line records on both plans, with automatic recording and AI transcription on Advanced.
For one person with a single number, Talkroute Basic ($19/month) costs about the same as D Line Base ($20/month). D Line Base adds a call menu, ring groups, recording and an AI agent at that price; Talkroute Basic adds video meetings. Pick by the features you will use.
Usually, yes. Keep Talkroute active, request the port from D Line, and cancel Talkroute after D Line confirms the move. Porting in to D Line is free.
