Local Calling: Change your Outbound Caller ID

Switch your outbound caller ID to different local numbers with the Sonar portal and free Chrome extension. If you'd like to set up different Outbound Caller IDs for your click-to-dial extension, please refer to the Chrome Extension - Click-to-Dial. 

Only Office Managers Can Add Caller ID Numbers
