Genesys Cloud Voice activation requirements and service restrictions for Netherlands

There are certain activation requirements and service restrictions that apply to using Genesys Cloud Voice in Netherlands.

Activation requirements

  • Geographic numbers can be assigned only if the enterprise is physically located within the area associated with the number. These numbers are based on city area codes. For example, an enterprise located in Amsterdam would have numbers with that city area code: (+31-20-XXX-XXXX). Numbers are not available in all cities. Availability depends on our supplier inventory and current availability in the market. The Genesys Cloud Voice Number Management interface, which allows you to purchase DID and toll-free numbers, provides the most current information about the availability of numbers in any geographic area.
  • For geographic numbers, the customer must provide a corresponding address in the Netherlands for number activation.
  • Domestic toll-free numbers in Netherlands start with prefix (0800). A domestic toll-free number does not require an address for activation. These numbers can only be called within the Netherlands from landlines and mobile phones. Note that there is a regulatory process requirement for obtaining domestic toll-free numbers in Netherlands. The numbers per order are limited in quantity and can take a few days to weeks for ordering/activation.

Service restrictions

  • You can port certain geographic and domestic toll-free numbers. However, the portability of your numbers depends on which carriers Genesys Cloud supports in the Netherlands. Also, carriers require specific documents for number porting. 
  • Customers must provide their Netherlands VAT number at time of number purchase.
  • Genesys Cloud Voice does not offer non-geographic numbers (NGN). However, we constantly evaluate customer requirements and may offer these numbers in the future.
