Your phone numbers live in Settings → Phone. That’s where you add numbers, pick your primary, set up caller ID branding, and control reputation protection.

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”).
The number is live for calling immediately. Texting requires A2P registration first — see Texting Compliance.

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
You can keep several numbers and choose which one to call from on any given call in the dialer — for example, a number local to whichever market you’re dialing that day.

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
When a number is flagged or fatigued, Spark can rotate it automatically: the affected number is replaced with a fresh one so your answer rates stay healthy. Auto-rotation can be toggled in settings — leave it on if you’d rather not babysit number health yourself, or turn it off to manage replacements manually.

Number lifecycle

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.
Releasing is permanent — once a number leaves your account, you can’t get it back. Keep your primary number unless you have a specific reason to replace it.

FAQ

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.
After CNAM registration, yes. Register your business name in Settings → Phone and it displays on outbound calls once it propagates (about 48–72 hours).
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.
