What are MyOperator's “direct DIDs” and what rules must I follow when using them?

⚡ Quick answer -

Direct DIDs are phone numbers assigned only for internal use inside the MyOperator platform (IVR, routing, click-to-call). You may not publish them publicly, port them out to another carrier, or treat them as a permanent brand hotline. If you need a public or portable number, request a dedicated / purchased DID instead.

Compliance checklist

Copy-paste and tick before you launch:

  • We will not publish direct DIDs publicly.
  • We understand direct DIDs remain the property of MyOperator/telecom partners.
  • We will not request port-out of a direct DID.
  • We will accept platform-led migration if the number must be retired.
  • For public branding, we will request a dedicated/purchased DID.

Do / Don’t scenarios

✔️ Do

❌ Don’t

Feed a direct DID into IVR queues.

Put it on your website footer or ads.

Accept platform migration if the number must change.

Attempt to port the number to another carrier.

Requesting a dedicated (public) DID

Enforcement & service continuity

Publishing or attempting to port a direct DID may lead to the number being replaced. If a carrier/regulatory change forces retirement, MyOperator will supply an alternate, and you must update your routing.
