You can view a summary of the phone number details for any phone number that is currently active.

The details shown include:

  • User and device details - Details of any user or team member assignment, handset labeling (name), Default PIN, and Device details.

  • Phone number settings - Settings for this phone number, including voicemail and call forwarding settings.

  • Call settings - Current settings for the features associated with this number. For example, whether Do not disturb (DND) or Calling line ID (CLI) is currently on or off, and which number is currently used as the Caller ID where CLI is on.

Tip: The details are correct at the point in time when you open the page. If you update a feature (for example, you switch do not disturb on on your logged in handset), that change will be reflected on refresh or the next time you open the page.
