If having unlimited inbound minutes sounds like a smart business decision for your communication needs, then our Channel Billing feature might just be what you’re looking for. Channel billing is an alternative billing method for DIDs that enables Mission Control Portal users to pay a flat fee for unlimited inbound minutes instead of paying per minute. With this feature, you’re able to have one unlimited concurrent phone call, and you can set your channel up across multiple numbers.

DID Channel Billing Setup:

  • In Mission Control, navigate to the MY NUMBERS tab under the NUMBERS menu. Locate your channel update on the top right corner of the page, which reads “You currently have 0 channels reserved. Add Now.”
  • Click on “Add Now” and the Channels window will pop up.
  • Use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to add or remove channels, and hit Update.
