How to Switch from Retell AI to CallSphere: Migration Guide
Step-by-step guide to migrating from Retell AI to CallSphere. Covers data migration, number porting, integration setup, and go-live checklist.
Why Businesses Switch from Retell AI to CallSphere
Businesses typically switch from Retell AI to CallSphere for three reasons: predictable flat pricing instead of per-minute charges, voice + chat in one unified platform, and faster deployment with no engineering required.
Migration Timeline
Most Retell AI to CallSphere migrations complete in 5-7 business days. Here is the step-by-step process:
Day 1-2: Discovery & Configuration
- Export your data from Retell AI — call logs, contacts, and conversation flows
- Configure CallSphere with your business knowledge base, hours, and workflows
- Set up integrations — connect your CRM, scheduling tool, and payment processor
- Define routing rules — how calls should be handled by type and urgency
Day 3-4: Testing & Refinement
- Internal testing — your team calls the AI agent to verify responses
- Edge case tuning — adjust for industry-specific scenarios
- Integration verification — confirm data flows correctly to all connected systems
- Escalation testing — verify human handoff works smoothly
Day 5: Number Porting & Go-Live

Common Migration Questions
Will I lose my phone numbers? No. We port your existing numbers to CallSphere. The process takes 1-3 business days and we coordinate the timing to ensure zero downtime.
Is there a contract lock-in? No. CallSphere offers month-to-month billing with no long-term contracts required.
Can I run both platforms simultaneously? Yes. During migration, we recommend a brief parallel period where both systems are active. This ensures no calls are missed during the transition.
How long until I see ROI? Most businesses see positive ROI within the first month. The combination of flat pricing, 24/7 coverage, and zero missed calls typically pays for itself quickly.
