Numbers

Numbers is a CINNOX feature that lets you manage the virtual numbers, service numbers, and personal numbers associated with your CINNOX service.

For more information, please refer to our User Guide.

A virtual number is a phone number without a directly associated telephone line. CINNOX offers toll-free and local virtual numbers that let your customers around the globe call you at lower rates.

A Service Number is a verified enterprise number that Staff members can use as Caller ID and SMS Sender ID when making outbound calls and sending SMS to their customers.

A Personal Number is a verified personal number that Staff members can use as Caller ID when making outbound calls to their customers and colleagues.

A cloud phone system means the technology provider will host the service on a secure cloud data centre and deliver the product/service over the web. Businesses don't need a custom infrastructure to maintain their own hardware or spend a fortune on capital expenditure.

There are no limitations regarding using a single phone number across multiple teams. If this suits your business model, you can buy just one phone number and use it for all your teams.

BYOC enables you to use a phone number provided by an external carrier without losing the functional benefits of CINNOX. This differs from number porting, where the carrier associated with a number is changed. With BYOC, the carrier remains the same, and you can retain your number and pricing benefits provided by the carrier.

You can choose to use BYOC in two ways:

• Inbound only
• Inbound & Outbound:

BYOC is available in the Ultimate CX Hub Plan .

Calls forwarded to mobile devices cost more than those forwarded to the landline or CINNOX dashboard. Mobile phone networks charge additional fees to process incoming toll-free calls to your cell phone.

Calling a business in a different country can be challenging for your potential and existing customers. CINNOX provides your business with phone numbers from 150+ countries and forwards calls to your existing phone number. Having a local phone number means your international customers are more likely to call your business. Take advantage of a virtual number from CINNOX and instantly expand your business to international markets!

CINNOX offers three types of phone numbers:

• Toll-Free phone numbers allow your customers to call you at no charge. A toll-free number in the US and Canada begins with the 1-800, 1-866, 1-877, or 1-888 prefixes. In the UK, they begin with 0-800 or 0-808; in China, they usually begin with 4001.
• Local phone numbers are assigned to a designated geographic area and usually have an area or city code.
• National phone numbers allow callers to make a local call from all cities in a given country but are not geographically assigned to any specific city. The UK, Spain, and France are some countries with national phone numbers available.

No, unless you tell them. We even offer international ringback tones for added authenticity.

Mobile calls made to an international toll-free number are free in most countries. However, in some countries, service providers will charge a local call rate, connection fee, or airtime charge for calls made from mobile devices.

Three main factors affect the cost of an international toll-free number:

Origination: Where Are Your Customers Located?

• Your international toll-free calls originate in your customers' country. For example, if your customers are in Thailand, you would need to purchase a Thailand toll-free number so they can call you toll-free. Costs and originating rates per minute vary by country. Additionally, you can expect to pay more for rare or hard-to-get international toll-free numbers, like Myanmar toll-free numbers.

Termination: Where Is Your Business Location?

• The terminating country refers to where you receive the calls. Again, rates per minute may vary depending on the terminating country. For example, if a customer calls your Thailand toll-free number and the call forwards to a phone in Japan, the terminating rate per minute would be slightly different than forwarding to a phone in the US.

Device/Network: How Will You Answer Your Calls?

• Another factor that affects your cost is how you answer calls. Calls can be forwarded to a landline, mobile, or CINNOX Dashboard. All three options may carry different rates.

If you choose to route calls made to your toll-free number to a landline, the rate per minute will be higher than receiving the same call through the CINNOX dashboard. The call will travel through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to reach its destination. The phone company is processing the call tracks on additional charges to handle it.

The SMS Sender ID in CINNOX is the name or number that appears as the sender of an SMS message.
