Important Information
- Your numbers will be listed in an international format, with a 44 in place of the preceding 0. For example, 01220 123456 will be listed as 441220123456.
- Each number can support up to 5 destinations, which increases resilience should something happen to your PBX or internet connection. For setting up additional destinations, please contact support@surevoip.co.uk. Each next destination will be attempted if the preceding one times out. (Busy, Unavailable etc will not count).
