CNAM is the service that allows you to see who is calling. It is very handy. instead of watching a caller id such as 16138007370, you will see OKay Inc. We recognize that these days it is harder and harder keeping track and remembering whose number is whose.

As part of our continuous improvement of the value of our services we are proud to announce that all our current and future customers who rent at least one white label VoIP server, they will have for CNAM access for free.

How to Request Free CNAM Access?

Just write to us in the chat, identify yourself as a customer. You can also raise a ticket in our service portal. You will get a username and password that will be valid while you are an OKay's customer.
