Koncert allows users to purchase Caller IDs from Twilio based on specific area codes within the United States and Canada. These Caller IDs help enhance local presence during outbound calling. The purchasing process is easy to navigate, and you can map Caller IDs to multiple area codes for efficient utilization.
Before making a purchase, prioritize Caller IDs based on the following factors:
- Look for alerts in the banner on the Koncert portal, indicating area codes where Caller IDs are unavailable or need replenishment.
- Use the Heat Map History to assess the demand and coverage of Caller IDs for specific areas.
- Refer to the Usage Alert Notification Email for insights into Caller ID utilization trends.
- Purchases in Koncert are limited to Caller IDs within the US and Canada. For international Caller IDs, contact Twilio directly to complete the purchase outside Koncert.
You can purchase Caller IDs using one of the two methods described below:
