Created by Christiaan Venter, Modified on Wed, 29 Jul at 1:03 PM by Christiaan Venter

At sable International, we make use of 8x8 For Work to handle all our client incoming and outgoing calls.

your number is assigned per country (RSA, UK, AUS) and should be able to dial internationally as long as you have the country code (+27, +44, +61, et al).


To use your account, you will have been provided a number and email.
