DID Verification: How to Verify Your External Caller IDs

Learn how to verify your non-CommPeak DID number as a Caller ID in CommPeak Portal.

Sometimes, you may want to make calls while using a DID number you own outside of CommPeak as your Caller ID for outgoing calls.

To allow this, we require that you verify the possession of the DID you want to add.
