Making bulk changes to remote DID phone numbers for your SIP Trunk service

You can update more than one remote DID phone number at one time—including adding descriptions, so you can remember them more easily. If you need to modify large blocks of numbers, you can bulk upload your changes and save time.

To make bulk changes to remote DID numbers for your SIP Trunk service:

  1. Click Inventory, then click Inventory.

    Control Center displays a list of all services assigned to the accounts under your enterprise ID. If you have more than 10 services, you can view the rest of your services by clicking one of the blue linked Show numbers at the top of the list or you can click the blue down arrow at the bottom of the list to add 10 services at a time to the view.

  1. Search for the service in one of these ways:

    • Sort your services using the Sort by… list (e.g., Service Type). You can toggle between descending and ascending order using the arrow to the right of the Sort by… list.

    • Filter your services by selecting an option from the View All (Default) list.

    • Search for a specific service (by service type, account, etc.) using the Search by… field and search box. (To search using multiple search criteria, click Advanced Search, then fill in your search criteria and click Apply Search Filters. When you're done, click Close Advanced Search.)
  1. When you find the service you want to work with, click the black arrow on the right of the line for the service.

    Control Center displays details for the SIP trunk service you selected.

  1. Select the file you want to upload.

    Control Center validates the file, starts processing your changes, and emails you a confirmation.
