If you are missing incoming calls on CallHippo, work through the checks below to quickly find and fix the cause.

Quick checks (do these first)

Before reviewing account settings, make sure:

  • Your internet connection is stable.
  • VPNs and ad blockers are turned off.
  • No calling or network-related browser extensions are enabled.

Dashboard vs dialer (a common miss)

  • Incoming calls work only when the CallHippo Dialer is open.
  • Being logged into the dashboard alone is not enough.
  • Make sure you are logged into the dialer and it is active.

Number and user setup

  • Go to Numbers / DID and confirm the number is active.
  • Check that the number is assigned to you, or to a team that includes you.
  • In User Settings, make sure Restrict Incoming Calls is turned off.

Business hours and time zone

  • Check the number’s business hours.
  • If set to Always Closed or Custom, calls outside those hours will not come through.
  • Confirm the correct time zone is selected.

Call routing and team settings

  • If Sticky Agent is enabled, calls go to the last agent who spoke with the caller.
  • For team numbers, verify the call routing order (sequential, simultaneous, or custom).

Country and plan check

  • Confirm the caller’s country is included in your plan.
  • If not, make sure your account has enough calling credits.

Final quick fixes

  • Switch to another internet connection and test.
  • Log out of the dialer and log back in.
  • Clear browser cache and cookies, then restart the browser.
  • Try logging in from another system to rule out device issues.
