Configuring Numbers
New Numbers require configuration in order to function. Basic configuration involves setting up your Numbers for inbound and outbound calling.
- To receive inbound calls on a Number, configure the Inbound Flow by selecting a Number Forwarding destination.
- To make outbound calls on a Number, select it as the Default Number. Additional options for outbound calling can be configured using Caller ID Settings.
To learn about additional configuration options, review Managing Phone Numbers.
Tips for Ordering Numbers
Need some guidance for ordering Numbers? We've put together a few helpful tips below. If you need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Technical Support Team.
Warnings
Phone Number Warnings (1) indicate that the Number is listed in the FTC public complaint database. Using a Number with this warning for outbound calling may result in the Lead seeing a message from the carrier about potential unwanted activity.
Carrier Name Warnings (2) indicate that the carrier does not support Caller ID storage. If your Caller ID Name is set up, ReadyMode submit it to the carrier with each call, but the carrier may display "Unknown Name" or the city for the Number instead.
Unavailable Area Codes
If you search for an area code and receive a "No phone numbers were found" message, and there is not an alternative area code that you can use, please contact our Technical Support team for assistance with ordering a Number in the desired area code directly from the carrier. The Billing team can also assist with ordering 800 and international Numbers.
Porting Numbers
If you own an existing number that you want to bring over to ReadyMode, we can port it over for you. Please contact our Technical Support team for assistance.
