2.2. To receive the inbound calls from unknown numbers you have to enable this option in the settings and assign a system user who will receive the calls. (Settings > SmartDialer > Twilio > General > Unknown incoming calls). If this option is enabled the new lead will be created if the call will not be answered.

2.3. If you chose to record your calls you will be able to listen to the recordings in the client profile and on the dashboard:

3.2 Track results: how many calls your sales team have made and measure the effectiveness of their calls on overall sales results.

4. How to forward calls to a cell phone?

Calls cannot be forwarded to your cell phone until you are logged out (Settings > log-out) from Teamgate CRM; along with your personal phone number - which must be entered to the Teamgate CRM (My profile > Profile > Phone). Please note; you will receive the incoming call from the number that you selected as your Twilio phone number.

5. Allow calls to restricted countries

Some phone numbers are considered as a high risk phone numbers and Twilio restricts to call to certain countries. Meaning you have to allow permissions on Twilio console: https://www.twilio.com/console/voice/calls/geo-permissions/high-risk?countryIsoCode=LT
