Provision Webex Go with AT&T

The Webex Go feature in Webex Calling allows a mobile phone to function as the user’s Webex device. A phone number must be assigned to a user to enable Webex Go.

Webex Go with AT&T provides a mobile access device as an eSIM on a personal mobile device. You can purchase it as a Webex Calling add-on subscription.

To provision Webex Go with AT&T, the administrator adds a Webex Go device to a user.

Webex Go with AT&T enables a compatible mobile phone number and plan from a mobile operator be assigned as the user’s primary number.

The administrator provisions this feature by adding a phone number to a location as a mobile number type and assigns the number to the user to activate it.

The user must purchase a Webex Calling-enabled phone number and mobile subscription from a certified mobile provider. Certified providers are listed on the Connection Type page in Control Hub.

Webex Go with AT&T supports only one Foundational Account Number (FAN) per organization. If you attempt to add a mobile number associated with a different FAN than the one linked to your organization, your request will fail.
