Group numbers

A Group Phone Number (also known as a "ring group") defines a phone number that, when dialed, rings a group of phones simultaneously, stopping when any one of them is picked up. This feature can be a great tool if your team has a shared inbound phone number, such as a toll-free number routed to all of your sales reps.

Use a Group Number as your Caller ID

To use your Group number as your outgoing Caller ID, you will need to open up the Close desktop app.

There, go to the Phone Settings popover and select your Group Number:

Use your Group Number as your outgoing Caller ID

This will ensure that all outgoing calls made will display the Group Number on Caller ID.

Note: You can only use numbers that you own as your caller ID in Close.
