Cloud Comms Industry Briefing:
All About Numbers

Did you know the first phone numbers went into service nearly 100 years ago? We’ve come a long way from the mix of numbers and letters, not to mention human operators, to the cloud-powered solutions of today. So why is it still such a hassle to get a phone number? And why does it take so long to get it working?

While phone numbers may all look the same, where you purchase them from makes all the difference.

The good news is that there are providers who make the process easy and seamless, and we’re here to help bust through the myths and roadblocks to help you get the numbers you need and get them up and running, FAST. Join Sam Shiffman, Commio Chief Strategist, and Katie Reddick, Director of Customer Success, as they answer:

• What do different companies look for in a phone number? What types of numbers are available, and what are the differences between them? Where do they come from?

• When I buy a number, is it important who holds it? Does it matter who I buy it from, or who registers it?

• Why is it so hard to get the numbers I need, in the places I need them… and activate them quickly?

• Why do some providers have more options than others, and what can I do if my provider doesn’t have the numbers I need? What’s involved in moving the numbers between providers?

• What are “bad” numbers, and what can I do if I get one? How can providers help?

• How does messaging factor into my choice or usage of numbers? How many or which ones should be SMS-enabled? If my numbers are with one provider, do I have to use them for messaging?
