Solution: Multi-business offices
A group of separate company’s lease a shared office that includes an outbound calling on behalf of each tenant. Using the Caller ID function SysAdmin’s can map a receptionist line to show the correct CLI.
For example:
- Company A DID is 442034567000
- Company B DID is 442034568000
- Company C DID is 442034569000
Using the Caller ID feature your CloudPBX you can associate DID lines not on your account which are then displayed as the Caller ID.
- Line 1: 442034567001 -> 442034567000
- Line 2: 442034568001 -> 442034568000
- Line 3: 442034569001 -> 442034569000
