What should I do when there is no IVR playing on my number, or calls are getting disconnected after 2 rings?
Applies to: Inbound calls to your MyOperator business/service number where callers get silence/no IVR or the call drops after ~2 rings.
Goal: Identify whether the failure is before MyOperator (number/carrier), at IVR, or during the transfer to users, then restore normal flow.
Time needed: 10–20 minutes.
You’ll need: Access to Manage → Numbers, Design Call Flow, Departments/Users, Payments/Billing, and Call Logs.
Prerequisites & definitions
- Collect 2–3 recent call times (IST) and, if possible, Call IDs.
- Test once from two caller networks (e.g., Jio + Airtel).
Live Call Flow: The flow mapped to your number right now (not a draft).
Ring time: How long a user/department rings before fallback.
Overflow: Where the call goes if nobody answers (another queue/voicemail).
Step 1: Did the call reach MyOperator? (check 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 (number/carrier side).
- An entry appears or IVR is heard → MyOperator received the call; any failure is likely at IVR or during transfer.
Step 2: If no IVR audio plays
- Design Call Flow → Edit (Live)
- Ensure Welcome Greeting exists (use a default prompt to test).
- If you use a menu, confirm the Menu Message is set and digit options are mapped.
- Audio prompt sanity checks
- Use a supported audio format and a non-silent file; re-upload if unsure.
- Keep long intros short; test “accept input during prompt” if supported.
- Working hours & time-based nodes
- Confirm you’re in working hours for this flow; off-hours may route elsewhere.
- Publish & wait briefly
- Save/Publish and allow a short propagation (a few minutes), then retest.
Step 3: If calls disconnect after ~2 rings
- Departments/Users settings — Manage → Departments → <Dept> → Show (Settings)
- Ring strategy (All/Sequential/Round-robin) suits your team.
- Ring time ≥ 20s so devices can alert before fallback.
- Overflow/voicemail set if nobody answers.
- Recipient availability
- Users are Assigned to the department and Available (not Paused/DND/Offline).
- On mobiles (PSTN): good signal, Silence Unknown Callers off (iOS), third-party spam filters not blocking your business number.
- On app/web: logged in, microphone/notifications permitted; try hotspot vs office Wi-Fi.
- Transfers/multi-leg behavior
- If drops occur right after transfer, capture both legs’ Call IDs; verify the target leg has a valid destination and fallback.
Step 4: Account status & number mapping
- Payments/Billing: Clear unpaid dues/credit-limit holds that can restrict service.
- Manage → Numbers: Confirm your service number is Active and mapped to the intended Live Call Flow (not an old/draft flow).
Step 5: Multi-network test & route switch (diagnostic)
- If symptoms occur only on a specific operator/region, note the pattern.
- Try a route change to isolate the upstream path:
- Design Call Flow → Advanced Settings → Route Settings
- Click Switch/Change Route → Save
- Place two fresh tests from different networks; compare results.
