How do I present calls from a custom telephone number through Paytia?
With the Bespoke CLI licence you can show a number of your choosing on outbound calls rather than your Paytia number. Here's what's involved and what we need from you.
Presenting Calls from a Custom Telephone Number Through Paytia
Overview
If your business needs to display a custom telephone number on outbound calls, Paytia offers a solution through the Bespoke CLI (Custom Line Identification) license. This license enables you to present a number that differs from the actual line being used for outbound calls.
