Note: The Identities Feature is supported on old generation Wildix Phones (pre 2024) only. The new Wildix Phones 5 (2024) are not supported. 


Overview

The feature allows changing a real user's number and substituting it with a false identity. When placing a call, the identity number prefix is automatically added to the called number and saved in History . The configuration can be set up for both internal and external outgoing/ incoming calls.
