Get started with Webex Go

Webex Go is an add-on service to Webex Calling. You can get started with Webex Go using two deployment options and with the with the new and the existing numbers available to Webex Calling customers.

  • Webex Go BYOD – Extend users fixed business number (extension or DID) by adding an eSIM and second line on their personal mobile phone.

  • Webex Go Mobile Operator – Replace a user’s fixed business line with a company provided wireless number and plan (PSTN replacement).

If you're a partner looking to trial Webex Go, you need CCEP to add the trial licenses. Reach out to your Cisco account representative to get started. If you're a customer looking to trial Webex Go, request your administrator to get your Webex partner to enable the Webex Go BYOD or Webex Go Mobile Operator SKU through trial or CCW entitlement.

Webex Go BYOD integrates Webex Calling with users’ personal mobile device and adds the business phone number as a second line through eSIM to the device. It enables users to manage both personal and business communications on a single mobile device. Users can make and receive business calls with their exiting Webex Calling fixed business number (DID or extension) and take advantage of the enterprise-grade calling features, like compliant call recording without a need for a separate app—all while keeping their personal phone number separate from their business number.
