What should I do if my MyOperator business number/service number is not reachable?
Applies to: Inbound calls to your MyOperator service number where callers hear “not reachable / switched off / number does not exist” instead of your IVR or ringing.
Goal: Pinpoint whether the failure is before MyOperator (carrier/number status) or during transfer to users, and restore normal call flow.
Time needed: 10–15 minutes.
You’ll need: Access to Manage → Numbers, Design Call Flow, Call Logs, and Payments/Billing.
Prerequisites & definitions
- Have 2–3 recent failed call times (IST) ready for testing.
- Test from at least two caller networks (e.g., Jio + Airtel).
- Call reached MyOperator = the attempt appears in Call Logs.
- Route = upstream carrier path used to deliver calls to your service number.
- PSTN = normal mobile/landline network (not the MyOperator app/web).
Step 1: Did the call reach MyOperator? (use Call Logs)
- Place a test call to your service number.
- Open Dashboard → Call Logs:
- No entry appears within ~1–2 minutes → the call likely never hit MyOperator (upstream/number status issue).
- An entry appears or IVR is heard → MyOperator received the call; any failure is likely during transfer to users.
Step 2: If no Call Log entry (failure before IVR)
- Manage → Numbers → <Your service number>
- Status is Active and mapped to the correct Live Call Flow.
- Payments/Billing: confirm the account isn’t suspended for unpaid dues/credit limit.
- New/ported number? Allow for operator propagation; partial reachability on some carriers can occur briefly after activation/porting.
- If you forward from a personal number to the service number, dial the service number directly to rule out a faulty forwarding chain.
- Retest from two caller networks/regions.
If calls still don’t show in Call Logs and callers hear “not reachable,” it’s likely an upstream carrier/number status issue.
Step 3: If there is a Call Log / IVR plays but failure happens later
This points to the receiving leg (routing to users).
- Design Call Flow → IVR/Menu: digits map to the intended Department/User.
- Manage → Departments → <Department> (Show Settings):
- Ring strategy (All/Sequential/Round-robin) and ring time ≥ 20s.
- Overflow set (backup/voicemail) if nobody answers.
- Users (recipients):
- If forwarding to mobiles (PSTN): phones powered on, not on DND, good signal, and no aggressive spam filters blocking your business number; try a second handset/SIM.
- If ringing MyOperator app/web: user logged in & Available; microphone/notifications allowed; stable network (try hotspot vs office Wi-Fi).
Step 4: Multi-network test & route switch (diagnostic)
- If the issue appears only on a specific carrier/region, note the pattern.
- Try a route change to isolate upstream path quality:
- Design Call Flow → Advanced Settings → Route Settings
- Switch/Change Route → Save
- Place two fresh tests from different networks and compare.
Success criteria
- Calls to your service number consistently reach IVR (entries visible in Call Logs).
- During transfer, callers hear ringing and users’ devices actually ring.
- Tests succeed from at least two different caller networks.
Contact us — include these details
When you contact your Account Manager or support@myoperator.co, please share:
- Your service number and whether the message occurs before IVR or after IVR (during user transfer).
- 2–3 recent times (IST) when the message was heard and whether Call Logs show the attempts.
- Caller networks/regions tested (e.g., Jio, Airtel, VI) and outcomes.
- Any recent changes: number mapping, payments/activation, route switched, department/user edits.
- If after transfer: the target user/department, device type (mobile vs app/web), and their availability at that time.
Troubleshooting & edge cases
- Only one operator fails: Keep results noted; continue tests after a route switch.
- Recently purchased/ported number: Limited reachability can occur during activation/propagation.
- App/web works, mobiles fail (or vice-versa): Focus on the failing path (permissions/network vs PSTN device/DND).
- Changed flow but no effect: Ensure the edited flow is Published/Live and the number maps to it.
