# How can I set my sender number in the sipgate app?

#### Setting a sender number in the sipgate app

You can set a sender number in the sipgate app, which will appear on the **recipient's device** as the **incoming caller ID**. To set your **individual sender number**, open the sipgate app and click the **gear icon** in the top right corner.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tip:** If you haven't set a sender number after the latest update, you will see a pop-up notification.
{% endhint %}

Now you can choose your individual sender number.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** The selected sender number must be assigned to a VoIP phone, as it's currently not possible to choose a number without linking it to a phone..
{% endhint %}

You can set the sender number for each individual call. Before placing a call, you can select the desired sender number from the dropdown menu. You can also choose to hide the number for a single call.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** The sender number will only change within the sipgate App. In the logged-in area, you will still see the default sender number.
{% endhint %}

#### Sender number for Channels

Similar to the Inbox, you can also select the desired sender number for your Channels through the dropdown menu. Go to the desired Channel and click the gear icon in the right corner.\
In the window, choose the VoIP phone and select the desired sender number from the dropdown menu.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** The selected sender number must be assigned to a VoIP phone, as it's currently not possible to choose a number without a phone.
{% endhint %}

If no available phones are left, you can click *Add Phone* to create a new VoIP phone in your account (Appweb) and assign a sender number to the Channel.

In the final step, click *Save*.

You can always see and change your sender number in the right corner.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://teamhelp.sipgate.co.uk/use-sipgate/sipgate-app/how-can-i-set-my-sender-number-in-the-sipgate-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
