1. Internal Revenue Service Local Phone Numbers

In Kerio Operator you can map external numbers to internal extensions. You can:

• Strip the first 0-n digits from the number, including reducing the number to an empty string
• Add other digits to the beginning of the number

Routing incoming calls

In Kerio Operator, you can use rewriting rules to map numbers for SIPSession Initiation Protocol - A communication protocol used for voice and video calls in Internet telephony or private IP telephone systems. and standard phone interfaces. Depending on your provider's requirements, you may need to strip out or change numbers

Example:

• A company has 100 phone numbers from a telephone provider.
• For incoming calls, the provider sends the whole number.
• For outgoing calls, the provider requires the whole number.
• Internal extensions have the format 2xx.
• The prefixCountry codes, area codes, a number, or a set of numbers that are dialed before the telephone numbers. for outgoing calls is 9.

When external Phone A (with the number 5550399) calls internal Phone B (with the number 5550101 and the internal extension 201):

1. Phone A dials Phone B's number and a signal goes to the provider.
2. The provider sends the number to Kerio Operator.
3. The rewriting rule strips five digits from the left and adds the prefix 2.
4. The call connects.

Mapping a trunk of numbers

To set the interface for an interval of numbers (55501xx in this example):

1. In the administration interface, go to Configuration > Call Routing > Interfaces and routing of outgoing calls.
2. Select the routing rule for the provider interface and click Edit. The Edit Incoming Call dialog box opens.

3. In the Called number section, strip the first five digits from the left, and add the prefix 2. This modifies the number to the final format of the extension (2xx).
4. In the Calling number section, do not strip out any digits, and add the prefix 9. This is useful when you want to call back the external number.
5. Click OK.

Mapping a single number or multiple numbers

To set the interface for single or multiple numbers (5550100 to 5550199 in this example):

1. In the administration interface, go to Configuration > Call Routing > Interfaces and routing of incoming calls.
2. Select the routing rule for the provider interface and click Edit. The Edit Incoming Call dialog box opens.
3. Double-click a line in the Extension column and assign an extension to the external number.
4. In the Called number section, strip the first two digits from the left, and add the prefix 2. This modifies the number to the final format of the extension (2xx).
5. Click OK.

Routing outgoing calls

You can configure outgoing calls when creating an interface, either SIP or hardware cards.

For rewriting the numbers, you need additional configuration.

Example:

• External Phone A has the number 5550199.
• Internal Phone B has the number 5550101 and the internal extension 201.
• For outgoing calls, Kerio Operator uses the prefix 9.
• The provider needs the whole number for outgoing calls.

When Phone B calls Phone A:

1. Phone B dials the number with the 9 prefix (95550199).
2. Kerio Operator uses rewriting rules and strips out the first digit (9). The number Kerio Operator sends to the provider is 5550199.
3. The provider connects to Phone A.

To achieve this configuration:

1. In the administration interface, go to Configuration > Call Routing > Routing of outgoing calls.
2. Select an interface and click Edit. The Edit Outgoing Route dialog box opens.
3. In the Called number section, strip one digit from left and do not add a prefix.
4. Click OK.

Rules for outgoing calls

You can configure rules for outgoing calls:

1. In the administration interface, go to Configuration > Call Routing > Routing of outgoing calls.
2. Select an interface and click Edit.
3. In the Calling number (Caller IDA service that provides information about caller's number.) section, select one of these options:

• Map extensions to external numbers based on routing of incoming calls if you want to use a table of external numbers configured for the provider
• Assign the default number to all extensions if you want to use a default number for all extensions
• Rewrite extension numbers (default number not used) if you want to rewrite numbers in a specific way

Exceptions to the outgoing routes

To create an exception:

1. In the administration interface, go to Configuration > Call Routing > Routing of outgoing calls.
2. Select an interface and click Edit.
3. Enable the Use route only for numbers defined in exceptions option.
4. Click the Exceptions tab and click Add.
5. To change the internal number, double-click the displayed extension and select a new extension.

6. To change the external number, double-click the displayed number and select a new number.
7. If you want to hide this extension's number so the call recipient cannot see it, select the box in the Hide Caller ID column (see Displaying, hiding and overriding phone numbers for more details).
8. Click OK.

Working with prefixes for outgoing calls

Kerio Operator works with prefixes for outgoing calls in a specific schema and you can use one prefix for multiple providers. Kerio Operator uses the longest prefix matching the dialed number. If that dial attempt fails, Kerio Operator tries the next route with the same prefix.

Example

• Use the prefix 011 for two providers (provider1 and provider2) and the prefix 0 for outgoing calls.
• Dials the number 011 234 567.

After dialing this number:

1. Kerio Operator goes through the Routing of outgoing calls table and tries to match the prefix.
2. Kerio Operator finds two matching prefixes, 0 and 011, and uses the longest prefix.
3. Kerio Operator tries the 011 prefix to connect to provider2.
4. If the connection does not work, Kerio Operator uses the same prefix to connect to provider1.
5. If the connection still does not work, Kerio Operator does not try to use the last prefix (in this example, the 0 prefix), and the call fails.

Changing the order of prefixes

Kerio Operator works with providers for the same prefix in order from top to bottom. You can change that order by the using arrows on the right side of the administration interface to move it up or down.

I’ve been doing some smiling and dialing recently and thought I’d share some free resources to find corporate phone numbers. I’m listing these in the order of how I approach finding one. The hierarchy of this list is determined by a combination of accuracy and speed.

1. Company Website

I’ll spare you a proverbial explanation. Many company sites contain the corporate phone number on the “Contact Us” or “About Us” page.

Note* it’s important to understand that many phone numbers on company sites are customer service numbers instead of corporate office numbers. Make sure the number explicitly reads as “Corporate Office” or “Headquarters”.

2. ECorporateOffices.com

ECorporateOffices.com has pretty accurate phone numbers. Their data set isn’t as robust as some other sources, but you can search it very quickly. I’m also partial to it because it doesn’t look like it was built in 1989.

3. Jigsaw.com / Data.com

You don’t even need credits on Jigsaw to find corporate phone numbers.

Simply type in your target company’s name into the search box. Select the company you wish to contact and you should see the corporate phone number.

These aren’t always accurate, but most of the time they are.

4. Determine Corporate Location + YP.com

If you can determine the geographic location of the corporate headquarters, you can use a regular listings site like YP.com to find a corporate phone number. Jigsaw, Wikipedia and LinkedIn are all excellent places to determine where the corporate mothership docks.

When you search on a YellowPages site make sure to include the appropriate entity name – i.e. [Brand Name] Headerquarters, International, Worldwide etc.

5. EmailsForCorporations

EmailsForCorporations is an awesome resource that my buddy Derek Flanzreich showed me. It’s a repository of corporate phone numbers and email syntaxes. Though the data set is not incredibly robust, it’s highly accurate.

6. Call A Retail Location

If you’re still having trouble, you can always call a retail location and ask for the corporate number. This works.

7. Find A Press Release

Press releases almost always contain a generic corporate or direct phone number. In order to quickly isolate press releases, take advantage of google search operators.

i.e. searching “GoDaddy Release filtetype:pdf site:godaddy.com” will render a bunch of press releases.

Note* because press releases often contain email addresses, this is a great way to determine a corporation’s email syntax as well.

8. Register.com (for smaller sites)

If you’re trying to get the phone number of someone who runs a smaller site, register.com can be an excellent resource. Simply do a reverse “Who Is” lookup and see if the domain owner’s information is public.
