Using the NewVoiceMedia platformVCC Admin Portal, an agent can make and receive calls from anywhere. For example, an agent could be in France but making and receiving calls from the United Kingdom.

• Telephone numbers appear in UK format
• When the agent makes an outbound call:
  • The number that appears on the handset of the target is in UK format
  • The agent can dial a UK number as if from the UK without using the international prefix

Click the agent's virtual location in the Virtual Location list.

In ContactPad various telephone numbers appear when an agent receives or makes a call. You can present these numbers in national or international format.
