The Process for Adding New Users Information Needed to Add a User Submit a Request to Add More Seats Contact Your Project Manager Call Our Technical Support Team Create a Support Ticket

The Process for Adding New Users

The option to add new seats, or users, and their telephone lines is only available to our team. Only our team can add seats since the services that are provided to users for them to use their desktop phones, mobile apps, or desktop apps incur a cost. As with other billable changes, our team can determine how adding a user will affect your bill while also helping to implement this change for your team.

Quick Tip: Adding users is a billable change that will affect your monthly bill.

NOTE: Since adding a user will affect your bill, only SpectrumVoIP team members can add a new user for you.

 

To check how adding a user will affect your bill, reach out to our Billing (Option 2) or Technical Support (Option 4) teams by calling (469) 429-2500. 

 

Information Needed to Add a User

To make sure your new user(s) and their telephone lines are created and configured to fit your needs, our team will need to know…

  • The first and last name to use for the new user.
  • The extension number this user's telephone line will need.
  • An email address for password resets to be sent to.
  • If the user(s) will need specific permissions in the web portal.
  • If the user(s) will need a mailbox, speed dial code, and/or a paging code.
  • If this user(s) should belong to any page, recording, and/or pickup groups.
  • If the user(s) will need a phone registered to its extension.

    Quick Tip: If you need to order new desk phones and equipment for your new telephone lines, visit our online store to view your options.

     
  • If the user(s) will need DID (Direct Inward Dialing) numbers.

    Note: Learn more about our process for ordering DID phone numbers by reading this article.

     
  • If the new user will need any special time routing or call forwarding, such as…
    • They have active/business hours that differ from the main business.
    • They answer calls on different devices depending on the day of the week.
    • They will need to be able to forward calls to another device or user.
    • They have a specific way calls should be routed if they are called during their after hours.
  • Where the user will be in your business' routing.
    Will this user be present in…
    • An IVR Menu? If so, which auto attendant and for which option?
    • A Call Queue or Huntgroup? If so, which call queue/huntgroup and in what order?
    • A special rule for call routing?

 


Submit a Request to Add More Seats

Once you have decided how you would like your seats to be added and configured, next you will need to communicate with our support team to get this change implemented.

There are three ways you can make this kind of request…

  1. Email or call your Project Manager if you are still in the onboarding and installation process.
  2. Give our Technical Support team a call to create a user live with a support specialist.

    NOTE: If this new user will need a phone registered to its extension, it is recommended to call our technical support team since a remote desktop session may be necessary.

     
  3. Create a support ticket with our Technical Support team using this support site or an email.

Contact Your Project Manager

If you are a new customer that is still working with a dedicated Project Manager, you can email or call your Project Manager to inform them that you intend to add more seat(s) to your account.

✔ In that email or call, tell your Project Manager your preferences for any new users so that they can ensure your users and their telephone lines are added and configured to meet your needs.

If these new users will be needing any equipment, such as a desk phone or headset, please let your Project Manager know.

 

Call Our Technical Support Team

As a current customer, you can dial 4-3-5-7 (HELP) on a SpectrumVoIP phone/app or call (469) 429-2500 to work with a Technical Support specialist live on a call. 

✔ Calling into Technical Support is recommended since you can actively communicate with the specialist as they add in and set up your new users.

If the new users will need new phones registered, then you will need to be on an active call with a technical support analyst so that they can register any new phones to these new users.

 

Create a Support Ticket

If you a current customer, you can easily submit a ticket to our Technical Support team to have a user created without having to call. 

A support ticket can be created by…

  • Clicking Contact Us on this support site and filling out the Submit a Support Ticket form.
  • Emailing support@spectrumvoip.com.

✔ When you fill out the online form or email, it is recommended to include your preferences for the new users and their telephone lines.

NOTE: If these new users will need desk phones registered to their telephone lines, then it is recommended to call into technical support so that a team member can register the phone remotely.
