Flowroute uses the e.164 format, which starts requiring 11 digits for domestic numbers and can be up to a fifteen-digit number for international.
The domestic e.164 number is typically formatted as a North American Numbering Plan Administration style: +1(NPA-NXX-XXXX). The prefix (+) is not required for outbound calls and should not be included in dialing.
For Example,
- Test call from USA to USA: 1-123-123-4433
When dialing internationally, include the International Access Code followed by the e.164 country code and international local number format: [(IDD prefix)[country code](International DID)]
For example,
- Test call from the USA to Philippines: 63-2-2479-7000
- Test call from Philippines to USA: 1-232-234-2676
When an outbound number is not dialed through Flowroute conforming to these guidelines, the connection will fail in a few ways.
- The malformed outbound number incorrectly dials a different country or location if the length of the dialed number is incorrect
- The malformed outbound number will fail completely due to the dialed number not having any destination in that format
- The malformed outbound number will fail due to a fraud protection enacting the destination cost limitation. This indicates you are not allowing a call to establish which costs more than you have set as a limit. This may alert you to an unintended destination.
