What is a Caller ID Prefix?

When a caller dials one of your phone numbers, agents will commonly see their caller ID before answering their call. Using the Primecall web portal, you can further fine-tune how incoming calls are identified when certain phone numbers are dialed.

 This can be useful when you have…

   Multiple phone numbers that you distribute under the guise that they are to be called for different purposes. 

   An operator or receptionist that handles calls coming from multiple phone numbers.

Create a Caller ID Prefix

As a Primecall admin, you have the ability to add and adjust Caller ID Prefixes.

To do so…

  1. Navigate to the Inventory page.
  2. Click the phone number you would like to have a prefix added onto. 
     

  1.  Doing so will pop up the Edit modal for the selected phone number.

  2. In the Caller ID Prefix box, type a prefix or tag that you would like to appear before a caller's caller ID.

    Quick Tip: Some commonly used prefixes are…

       The abbreviated name of a state.

       The name or abbreviation of a department or site.

       The last 4 digits of the phone number being called.

  3. Give the phone number a test call to make sure the prefix in the Caller ID looks correct.
