Phone Numbers in Meetzy

Each Meetzy agent needs at least one phone number to:
  • Receive inbound calls
  • Make outbound calls
  • Identify itself (caller ID)
Phone numbers are exclusive resources. Each number can only be assigned to one agent at a time.

Twilio Subaccount Navigation

The phone numbers interface includes a tabbed navigation system to manage numbers across different Twilio subaccounts:

Subaccount Tabs

The primary Twilio account where most numbers are typically managed.

How to Navigate Between Subaccounts

1

View Available Subaccounts

Look for the tab interface at the top of the phone numbers page.
2

Select Subaccount

Click on any tab to switch to that subaccount’s phone numbers.
3

Wait for Loading

The system will load numbers for the selected subaccount automatically.
Phone numbers are cached per subaccount to improve performance when switching between tabs.

Advanced Phone Number Filtering

The interface provides several filtering options to help you manage large numbers of phone numbers:

Assign a Number When Creating an Agent

When creating a new agent in the Advanced Editor:
  1. Go to the Settings section (Cog icon)
  2. Find the Phone Number field
  3. Select an available number from the dropdown

If No Numbers Are Available

If the dropdown is empty, you’ll see a message:

All numbers are assigned or configured.
Options:
  • Release a number from another agent
  • Request new numbers via the “Request more numbers” link

View Assigned Numbers

Once assigned, the number appears in read-only mode:
Phone Number: +1 555 123 4567 (Sales Team) 🔒
Phone number assigned to this agent
The phone number cannot be changed directly once assigned. To change it, use the Swap function from Phone Health.

Multiple Numbers per Agent

An agent can have multiple assigned numbers. This is useful for:
  • Volume distribution: Reduce spam risk
  • Regional segmentation: Different numbers for different areas
  • Redundancy: Backup if a number has issues

How Multiple Numbers Are Used

Call TypeBehavior
InboundCustomer can call any of the numbers

Best Practices

Number Rotation

For high-volume campaigns:
  1. Assign multiple numbers to the agent
  2. The system rotates automatically
  3. Monitor Phone Health regularly
  4. Swap numbers before they reach “Spam” status

Number Identification

Each number has a Friendly Name for identification:
+1 555 123 4567 (Sales Team)
       │              │
       │              └── Friendly Name
       └── Number
Use descriptive names like:
  • “Sales Team”
  • “Support Line”
  • “Campaign Q1”

Subaccount Organization

  • Use the main account for primary business numbers
  • Organize specialized campaigns in separate subaccounts
  • Apply consistent naming conventions across subaccounts
  • Regularly review and clean up unused numbers

Yes, you can assign numbers from multiple countries to the same agent.
