Personal Information

Using the desktop app's Profile Settings, you can update your Personal Information any time you need to:

  • First Name and Last Name * - Update your name for the app.
  • Timezone - Use this drop-down to select the time zone that the app will reference.
  • User's Scope - View your user scope that has been set in the Primecall web portal.

    • Click the Add button  to add an additional email address.
  • Delivery Options - Edit how your name should be shown to callers and coworkers.
    • Announce in Audio Directory - If necessary, allow or disallow the dial-by-name directory your organization may use to announce your name to callers.
    • List in Directory - Show or hide your name from the Directory feature of your coworkers' phones.

Caller ID Information

In some circumstances, it may be necessary to adjust the Caller ID Information your phone references and displays.

 Doing this can be useful for users that…

  • Have their own Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number to use for their Caller ID.
  • Need to switch between different phone numbers for their Caller ID in certain situations.
  • Need their phones to dial the last 7 digits of local numbers easily with a specific Area Code.
  • Should display a different phone number and address of a certain site for their Emergency Caller ID.

In the Profile Settings of the app, you can adjust your Caller ID Information:

  • Area Code * - Set the first 3 digits that the app will add on when you dial the last 7 digits of other phone numbers that use the same area code.

    For example… If my area code is set as 469, I can dial 4-2-9-2-5-0-0 to call the PrimeCall technical support team (844.59PRIME (844.597-7463)).

  • Caller ID - If you own multiple numbers, select which phone number should be shown to callers.
  • Emergency Caller ID - Ensure that a phone number is set to be shown to emergency responders when you call 9-1-1.

Change Account Security

In the Profile Settings of the app, you can update your password that you use to login to the app and the Primecall web portal. 

 It is recommended to update your password periodically to ensure your account stays secure. 

Change Voicemail Pin

The Profile Settings of the app also allow you to update the Voicemail PIN that secures your mailbox. 

 This is useful for users that…

  • Forgot their voicemail PIN.
  • Update their security information periodically.
  • Are inheriting this extension from a previous user.

Emergency Address Configuration

If you use the desktop app at a different site or remotely from home, it is essential to update the address it uses for your Emergency Caller ID. Multiple addresses can be saved so that you can switch addresses when you use the app at different locations.

It is recommended to update or switch your emergency address when you…

  • First install and open the app.
  • Move locations/sites.
  • Start working remotely from home.

Quick Tip: This Emergency Address and your Emergency Caller ID phone number are shown to dispatchers when you call 9-1-1 for any emergencies.

DANGER: Not adding in your apps' current address can result in issues and delays in getting emergency responders to your location! 

Avoid this risk by keeping your emergency address information up-to-date.
