Did not get the verification code?

  2. Check all of your folders in your email, including your Spam folder, to locate your verification code.

What happens when your callers dial your agent number and show up as your business phone number and not the caller's phone number in your dashboard?

For Google Voice users, if you see your calls all appearing as though they called from your business phone number and not the actual caller's phone number, you'll want to make sure that the "Show my Google Voice number as caller ID when forwarding calls" setting is turned off.
