Managing your DIDs on Cloud

Overview

A DID number is a telephone number that allows external callers to reach an internal extension, user, or service (like a voicemail box or Automated Attendant) directly, without going through a receptionist.

You can assign your DID as follow:

• Assign to a User: In a user's or extension's configuration page, you can select a DID from your inventory to be their direct phone number.

• Assign to a Feature or Service: DIDs are commonly assigned to:

  • Auto-Attendants (IVR): To serve as the main company number.

  • Call Queues / Contact Centers: To serve as a dedicated line for a specific department (e.g., Sales, Support).

  • Voicemail Boxes: To create a dedicated voicemail-only line.

  • Conference Bridges: To provide a direct dial-in number for a conference room.

  • External Phone Number (PSTN)
