- Admins - Administrators now have the ability to set a default voicemail PIN for when users are initially onboarded. During initial setup, the system administrator has the option of configuring the initial voicemail PIN as default or system-generated. Existing administrators can modify this setting within the admin portal. Learn more here.

Outbound Caller ID
- How do I change the name on my outbound caller ID?
- Outbound caller ID changes require an order from sales. This is to protect you from other businesses or spam who may be trying to use your name. Please call 1-800-Verizon to update.
- The wrong name is showing on my outbound caller ID, and/or my company name is not showing. Why and how can I fix this?
- Outbound caller ID display is dependent on the receiving end’s capabilities and data sources. If the person you are calling doesn’t subscribe to the caller ID name (frequent with cell phones), then the only way it would display the name is if your number is in their contact list on the phone. If the phone provider that the person you are calling did not update their caller ID name database with the most up-to-date information, then it will display the name that they last had for your number on the caller ID.

- I turned off call forwarding but calls are still being forwarded. Why and how can I stop this?
- If call forwarding is showing 100% off in all places in the admin portal, and calls are still being forwarded, then the customer needs to speak with technical support.
