Adding DID numbers

To allow users to call external numbers in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or public land mobile network (PLMN), add a direct inward dialing (DID) number.

When you deployed FortiVoice Cloud, you added at least one DID number. You can add more.

You can add a DID number with or without adding the emergency zone information. To add a number without adding emergency zone information, deselect the checkbox Add an emergency zone for this DID. To add an emergency zone to an existing DID number, edit the DID and follow the steps for the Emergency Zone in the table below.

To add a DID number

1. Go to FortiVoice Cloud > Trunks > DID Management.
2. Click + Add a DID.
3. In the Add a new DID dialog, configure the following:

   Description	Add a description for this DID number.
   Display name	Add a descriptive name for this DID. The DID display name is the caller ID that displays on the person’s phone that you are calling.
