Koncert offers you to purchase Caller IDs from Twilio. You can choose the Caller IDs according to the area codes for the United States & Canada and move them to the Cart for purchase.
You can prioritize purchasing Caller IDs for the States based on the following instance:
- Check the banner in the Koncert portal to see the Area codes where Caller IDs are not available or purchased.
- Check the usage of Caller IDs using Heat Map
- Check the usage of Caller IDs in the Usage alert notification email
NOTE: You cannot purchase new Caller IDs from Twilio from the Caller ID Group that was uploaded with their own mapped Caller IDs, i.e. the Purchase Caller IDs icon under the Action column will be disabled for that group, as shown below:
Below you can find the two different methods for purchasing Caller IDs from Twilio:
