In this article, you will learn how to use call masking.
Call masking is a Workiz Phone feature that provides your techs and clients with a greater degree of privacy by preventing both parties from seeing any actual phone numbers. This allows you to override the caller ID to only show your clients the number you want them to see — like your business phone number.

Although these users don’t get masked numbers, they can still use call masking by manually dialing the masking number and extension from any device. |
What clients will see
When used properly, your clients will see whatever phone number you defined when setting up call masking.
