# Moving a DID between services

Moving a DID between services is fairly quick and easy to do, but it does require a scheduled outage with the end customer as there will be a small amount of downtime when reassigning the DID.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend scheduling a small 10\~15 minute window to carry out DID reassignments if the DID is still in use so, this way you can confirm that the new routing is working before handing it back to the customer.
{% endhint %}

## Steps

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure your new service you're moving this the DID has already been created prior to unassigning the DID to avoid extended downtime.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.hostednetwork.com.au/support/services/voice-over-ip-voip/general/inbound-numbering-system/moving-a-did-between-services.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
