Adding a Number
1
Search by area code
In Settings → Phone, search for numbers in the area code you want — local to your market is usually best for answer rates.
2
Pick from available inventory
Choose a number you like from the results.
3
Name it
Give it a label so you can tell your numbers apart (for example, “Main line” or “FL leads”).
Primary Number and Caller ID
One of your numbers is the primary. It does two jobs:- Default caller ID — outbound calls show this number unless you pick another
- Inbound line — it’s the number leads call back
Reputation Protection
A number that gets flagged as “Spam Likely” kills your answer rates. Spark watches two signals on every number you own:- Spam-flag status — whether carriers are marking your number as spam on recipients’ phones
- Answer-rate health — whether the number’s answer rates are degrading from heavy use

Caller ID Branding (CNAM)
Register your business name so it displays on your outbound calls instead of just a number. Registration is free and takes about 48–72 hours to propagate across carriers. A recognizable name on the caller ID is one of the cheapest answer-rate improvements available.Releasing a Number
Releasing a number removes it from your account. Release numbers you no longer need rather than letting them sit unused.FAQ
Why did my number change?
Why did my number change?
Auto-rotation replaced it. Spark detected the number was flagged by carriers or its answer rates had fatigued, and swapped in a fresh number to keep your calls getting answered. You can toggle auto-rotation off in Settings → Phone if you’d rather manage this yourself.
Do leads see my business name when I call?
Do leads see my business name when I call?
After CNAM registration, yes. Register your business name in Settings → Phone and it displays on outbound calls once it propagates (about 48–72 hours).
Can I keep my number when rotating?
Can I keep my number when rotating?
Rotation exists specifically to replace flagged numbers, so a rotated number is gone by design. The best way to keep a number long-term — especially your primary — is to keep it healthy: warm it up gradually rather than blasting high volume from day one.
