Phone Number Suspended or Not Working
Your Dialora phone number is suspended, blocked, or not accepting/making calls.
Symptoms
- Calls to your agent’s number go straight to voicemail or are rejected
- You can make calls from the agent, but callers can’t reach you
- Dashboard shows “Suspended” or “Inactive” status next to your phone number
- Number was working but suddenly stopped
- International callers can’t reach you
- Error message states “Number not linked to agent” or similar
Common Causes
- Regulatory suspension — Too many spam complaints, abuse reports, or flagged activity triggered an automatic suspension
- KYC (Know Your Customer) not completed — International numbers require identity verification before activation
- Billing issues — Account has unpaid invoices or insufficient credits
- Number not linked to agent — Phone number exists but isn’t assigned to your active agent
How to Fix
Step 1: Check Your Number’s Status
- Go to Settings → Phone Numbers
- Look for your phone number in the list
- Check the status column:
- Active = Number is working normally
- Suspended = Number has been disabled (requires action)
- Pending = Number is still activating (wait up to 24 hours)
- Inactive = Number isn’t assigned to an agent
- Note the exact status and any error message displayed
Step 2: Address Regulatory Suspension
If status shows “Suspended” due to spam complaints:
- Go to Support → Contact Support
- Create a ticket titled: “Phone Number Suspension Review Request”
- In your message, include:
- Your suspended phone number
- Your account email and business name
- A brief explanation of your use case (e.g., “Customer service callbacks, appointment reminders”)
- Confirmation that you’ll use the number only for legitimate business purposes
Do NOT Use Your Number For:
- Marketing spam or unsolicited calls
- Impersonation
- Scams or fraudulent activity
- High-volume inbound calling to random numbers
- Dialora support will review and contact you within 24–48 hours
- Once approved, the suspension will be lifted
Step 3: Complete KYC Verification (for International Numbers)
If using a non-US phone number and status is “Suspended”:
International Numbers Require KYC
Non-US phone numbers need identity verification before activation. Complete KYC to unlock your number.
- Go to Settings → Account → Verification
- Check if KYC verification is pending or failed
- If pending or failed:
- Click Start Verification or Re-submit
- Provide required documents:
- Government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, national ID)
- Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, government letter)
- Business documents if using a business number (articles of incorporation, tax ID, etc.)
- Upload clear, legible scans of documents
- Confirm all information matches your account details
- Submit and wait for verification (typically 24–72 hours)
- You’ll receive an email notification once approved
- Your number will be automatically activated after KYC approval
Step 4: Update Your Payment Method and Verify Credits
- Go to Billing → Payment Method
- Check if your card is valid and has not expired
- If card is expired or invalid:
- Click Update Payment Method
- Enter new card details
- Save changes
- Go to Billing → Credits
- Verify you have available credits for your account
- If credits are depleted:
- Click Add Credits and purchase a package
- Complete the payment
- Credits will be added immediately
- Wait 5–10 minutes, then go back to Phone Numbers to check if status changed to “Active”
Step 5: Link Phone Number to Your Agent
If status shows “Inactive” but number isn’t suspended:
- Go to Agent Settings → Phone Numbers
- In the “Linked Phone Number” section, click Select
- Choose your phone number from the dropdown
- Click Save
- Go back to Settings → Phone Numbers to verify status is now “Active”
- Make a test call to the number to confirm it’s working
Step 6: Test Your Number
- Use a different phone (or ask a colleague) to call your agent’s phone number
- You should hear:
- A ring tone (not instant voicemail)
- Your agent’s greeting after the agent picks up
- If you get voicemail immediately: Number may still be in suspension or not linked
- If you hear the greeting: Your number is working correctly
Prevention tips:
- Monitor your account status weekly — check phone number status to catch issues early
- Keep billing current — set up auto-recharge for credits to prevent service interruption
- Use your number only for legitimate business calls — avoid high-volume test calls or automated spam-like behavior
- Complete KYC verification immediately when purchasing international numbers — don’t wait
- Document your use case — if challenged, be ready to explain your business purpose
- Set up billing alerts to be notified if your account is running low on credits
- Regularly verify your linked agent — ensure phone number is connected to an active agent configuration
