Managing phone numbers

Phone Numbers that are assigned to a customer are visible in the Phone Numbers section of the Portal. Here, you have the ability to modify the call routing and behavior of incoming calls.

To modify the behavior or details of a phone number, click “Phone Numbers”, then click “Edit”:

** Caller ID (CNAM): The value of this field will be displayed on the called party's Caller ID display when they make outgoing calls from this

                                      phone number. This field is limited to 15 characters including spaces, commas and periods. No other punctuation should be

                                      used. Please allow between 7-10 days for changes to this field to take effect.

** Internal Presentation: If the customer has a need for the caller ID name for incoming calls to be presented differently than the caller has supplied,

                                        the settings can be changed here. If any text is entered into the text box, it will be pre-pended to the beginning of the caller ID

                                        name that the caller has provided,  and displayed to the called party. If the checkbox is checked, then the caller ID name that

                                        the caller has presented will be displayed to the customer, otherwise it will not be provided.

** If Holiday: Customers have the option to configure specific dates to be holidays, using the “Holidays” module. If a call comes in on a day that is

                        configured as a holiday, the call be be routed based on the rule defined in this field.

** Route To: All incoming calls to this number are routed based on the rule defined by this field.

** Hold Music Group: Customer has the option to select custom hold music for incoming calls based on upload content in the “Hold Music” module.

** Screen for Privacy - This feature of the PBX System is to have incoming calls screened for telemarketers or other automatic dialer programs. If

                                      “Yes” is selected, than all callers who do not present a caller ID will hear a greeting asking them to enter a caller ID number

                                      using the dial pad of their phone. If they do not enter a number, they are disconnected.
