Introduction

This document provides an overview of the LiveVox Local Caller ID (LCID) functionality.

This feature allows LiveVox customers to display a local number as the caller ID number when dialing certain areas.  LiveVox provides the mechanism to display a number that is local or, if a local number is unavailable, one that is reasonably proximate to the consumer.
The Local Caller ID feature includes an inbound service to handle inbound calls made to the local or nearby number displayed on the consumer’s caller ID (i.e. “callbacks”).

Info

Please be aware that there may be a cost to a consumer who calls back the number displayed on their Caller ID.  The consumer's cost would depend on their specific plan with their phone provider.  Additionally, since local caller ID is based on geographical proximity, the number displayed may contain an area code that is different from that of the consumer.
