The Phone Numbers tab displays all phone numbers within the client portal and allows you to identify, assign, modify and disassociate phone numbers from one service to another. This tool compiles all assigned phone numbers (Agent Dial-In numbers, Extensions, Agent Direct Lines, LCID, Inbound numbers & Caller ID numbers) in a single view for easier management.

Phone Numbers

  • Phone Number to TTS: The number used in answering machine messages for text to speech (TTS).
  • Operator Phone: The number used when dialing using extensions rather than DIDs. For Manual services, the Operator Phone will act as the Caller ID. 
  • Inbound Message: The message associated with the inbound service can be selected.
  • Agent Call In Number: The number agents are prompted to dial when using Agent at Ready ACD mode to establish their audio pathway to LiveVox.  An 899 indicates VoIP. On a manual service a blank Agent Call In Number will result in LiveVox calling agents; if populated, agents will call into LiveVox. Clicking on the link to the right of the Agent Call In Number field displays the configuration screen. If Agent Call In Number Group is selected from the drop-down list, the agent will be presented with the list of predefined numbers to dial into the agent desktop.
  • Caller ID - Package ID: The list of CID packages that contains Local Caller ID numbers (depending on geography), Toll-Free numbers, or a combination of both. These numbers can be displayed on the call recipient's caller ID.  The options for selection are assigned to your site and can be reviewed in more detail from the CID tool. Clicking on the link to the right of the Caller ID - Package ID field will take you to the CID Package screen. This screen displays a list of CID numbers for the selected package. For more information, view the CID Package section of this User Guide.
  • Voicemail: When checked, it allows callers to leave a voicemail for a group with a corresponding Contact Flow using the VM module via Contact Flow.

  • PIN: PIN is required to access group voicemail (digits only).

    Group voicemail PIN is not required with voicemail 2.0.

  • Service to Identify Inbound Caller: Select the service for ANI (Automatic Number Identification - phone lookup) match and inbound routing components.
