Phone Numbers
Screen purpose: Buy and manage your company’s CallProof / Twilio phone numbers used for inbound calling, SMS, forwarding, voicemail, and related features.
- Browse all company Twilio numbers
- Purchase a new local or toll-free number
- Edit name, call forwarding, voicemail, recording, and notifications
- Search, export, and delete numbers (when permitted)
Screen title: Phone Numbers
Browser title: Phone Numbers
Address: /phone_numbers/
Related screens:
- Purchase:
/phone_numbers/new/ - Edit:
/phone_numbers/edit/<id>/
How this differs from similar screens
| Screen | Address | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Phone Numbers (this page) | /phone_numbers/
|
CallProof-owned Twilio numbers for your company (inbound SMS/calls, forwarding, etc.). |
| Caller ID | /caller/callerid/new/
|
Verifies a rep’s personal/store phone so outbound Web calls can show that number. |
| Account / Contact phones | on Accounts | Customer phone numbers stored on accounts — not company Twilio lines. |
How to open Phone Numbers
Option A — Quick Links
- Sign in to CallProof.
- Open a Calls screen with Quick Links.
- Click Phone Numbers.
Option B — Direct address
- Go to your CallProof site and add
/phone_numbers/. - Press Enter.
Permissions
- You must be signed in.
- Your profile needs Twilio phone number permission to view and manage this list. Without it, CallProof may deny access and send you back to the dashboard.
- Delete requires an extra permission: Twilio phone number delete permission.
- If permission is missing, you may see: You don't have permission to access that page.
What you see on the list
Header

Table columns
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Phone Number | The Twilio number, plus name/campaign (or Autotext store name if linked) |
| Toll Free | Yes / No |
| Forward | Where inbound calls forward (sales rep, dealer store, other number) — or No |
| Autotext | Yes if tied to Autotext (link to Autotext edit); otherwise No (link to Phone Number edit) |
| Active | Created date, or deactivated date in red if deactivated |
| Deleted | No, or the deleted date |
| Actions | Edit · Delete (if permitted and not already deleted) |
If nothing matches: No phone numbers found.
Why Phone Numbers matter
| Action | Purpose | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase | Add a new company line from Twilio inventory. | New market, campaign, or SMS line. |
| Edit / name | Label the number and set how inbound calls behave. | After purchase or when routing changes. |
| Forward / voicemail | Decide who answers and what happens if no one picks up. | Front-desk or after-hours coverage. |
| Export | Download a CSV of current numbers. | Audits and billing checks. |
| Delete | Retire a number you no longer need. | Cleanup (requires delete permission). |
Filter Phone Numbers
Filter title: Phone Number Filter
| Field | Notes |

Purchase a phone number
Screen title: Purchase Phone Number
Address: /phone_numbers/new/
Steps — find available numbers
- From Phone Numbers, click Purchase Phone Number.
- Open Purchase Number Filter.
- Choose:
- Country and Area Code for a local number, or
- Check Toll Free and pick a toll-free area code
- Apply the filter.
- Review the list of available numbers.
Steps — buy a number
- Click Purchase on the row you want.
- Confirm in the Purchase phone number popup.
- Wait for success (for example Phone number purchased…).
- CallProof returns you to
/phone_numbers/. - Open Edit on the new number to set name, forwarding, and voicemail.
Good to know
- Empty results: try another area code or country, or clear Toll Free.
- Purchase can fail if the number is no longer available — pick a different one.
- After purchase, configure the number on the Edit screen before using it heavily.
Edit a phone number
Screen title: Edit Phone Number
Address: /phone_numbers/edit/<id>/
Open Edit
- On the list, click the phone number or the Edit (pencil) icon.
- If the number is linked to Autotext, Edit may open Autotext instead — manage that number from Autotext.
Common settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name/Campaign | Friendly label shown on the list |
| Default call | (When enabled for your company) forward using default sales-rep rules |
| Forward call on carrier | (When enabled) route based on carrier rules / numbers |
| SIP Domain Users | Forward to selected SIP domain users |
| Call center people (Max 10) | Ring selected call-center users |
| Forward to | Forward to a sales rep, dealer store (dealer companies), or another number |
| Voicemail | Play a greeting / capture voicemail; set greeting by upload, Call My Phone, or microphone record |
| Send Missed call notification and voice mail | Email selected users about missed calls / voicemail |
| Record | Record calls on this number when enabled |
| AI Summary Email Notification | Send AI call summaries to selected users (with optional duration thresholds) |
| SMS Email Notify | Choose who gets email when SMS arrives on this number |
Steps — save changes
- Adjust the options you need (extra sections appear when you turn checkboxes on).
- Click Save at the top.
- Success message: Phone number updated successfully.
Voicemail greeting options
When Voicemail is checked:
- Upload wav/mp3 file — choose a file, then save.
- Call My Phone — CallProof calls your default/Caller ID phone so you can record a greeting (set up Caller ID first if prompted).
- Record using microphone — record in the browser, then save.
You can play an existing greeting from the audio player when a recording URL exists.
Export phone numbers
Steps
- Apply any search filter you want (export uses the current search).
- Use the Export control on the list / pagination area.
- Download
phone_numbers.csv.
CSV includes name, phone number, toll-free, forward, autotext, active, deleted, created, and updated.
Delete a phone number
Steps
- Confirm you have delete permission.
- Click the trash icon on a non-deleted row.
- Confirm delete.
- Success message: Phone number deleted successfully.
- The number is marked deleted (date shown in the Deleted column).
Good to know
- Deleted numbers no longer show Edit/Delete actions.
- Numbers tied to Autotext may delete through the Autotext-linked action instead.
Typical workflow
- Confirm you have Twilio phone number permission.
- Open
/phone_numbers/. - Purchase Phone Number → filter by area code → Purchase.
- Open the new number in Edit.
- Set Name/Campaign, forwarding, voicemail, and SMS/email notify users.
- Save.
- Test an inbound call and a text to that number.
Tips and important notes
- These are company Twilio lines, not the personal phones on Caller ID.
- Autotext-linked numbers are edited mainly from Autotext; the list links there when Autotext = Yes.
- Forwarding options depend on company settings (carrier forward, client forward, dealer stores, etc.). Some checkboxes only appear when your company has that feature on.
- Always Save after changing Edit options.
- For outbound Caller ID on softcalls, still use Caller ID (
/caller/callerid/new/) in addition to owning Twilio numbers here. - Export respects your current search filter.
Need help?
- Permission denied / redirected to dashboard: ask a manager to enable Twilio phone number permission on your profile
- Cannot delete: you may need delete permission
- No numbers to purchase: change country/area code or try toll-free
- Purchase failed: number may have been taken — choose another
- Voicemail Call My Phone blocked: set up Caller ID / default phone first
- Other issues: email support@callproof.com
