Your primary business phone number is often the first point of contact customers have with your company. POPP helps businesses maintain ownership, routing flexibility, and reliability for their main published numbers.

This allows businesses to track call traffic and campaign performance more effectively.

911 Emergency Services, Safety & Emergency Notifications

POPP configures business phone numbers to support 911 emergency calling, helping protect employees, visitors, customers, and property.

For organizations using the POPP Cloud Phone System, emergency preparedness extends beyond simply connecting a 911 call. We configure the system to generate internal notifications when a 911 call is placed, helping designated personnel become aware of an emergency situation as it unfolds.

Depending on your organization’s needs, notifications can alert management, security personnel, reception staff, or other designated contacts that emergency services have been contacted. This additional awareness can help organizations coordinate internal response efforts, assist first responders, and improve overall workplace safety.

Whether the emergency involves a medical incident, workplace accident, security concern, or other critical situation, immediate internal awareness can make a meaningful difference in response time and coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my current business phone number(s) when switching providers?

Yes. In most cases, we can port your existing numbers to POPP with little to no downtime. Our team manages the entire process to ensure a smooth transition.

What do I need to do to have POPP port my phone numbers from my current provider?

The POPP representative that you work with to place the order will send you a number porting authorization form to sign, giving POPP permission to transfer your phone number from your old provider. We handle everything from there, and will schedule the transfer to happen on the date and time of your choosing to minimize any downtime.

How do Direct Inward Dial (DID) Numbers work?

A Direct Inward Dial (DID) number is assigned to each user of a VoIP phone system, and in some cases, on VoIP PRI or SIP Trunk services that connect to an on-premise PBX. DIDs allow callers to reach a specific extension or group without calling the main number and being transferred, or using auto attendant.

Can I choose what my outbound caller ID shows when I call out from my business?

Yes, with POPP, you can choose any phone number that you own to be your outbound caller ID number. This may be the main number, a DID number, or other number. You may also choose a caller ID name, with up to 15 characters including spaces.
