Why is the wrong IVR playing on my MyOperator number, and how can I fix it quickly?
Quick answer: Nine times out of ten, the wrong IVR plays because either:
- The DID is mapped to a different call-flow, or
- The live call-flow was edited but not published.
Check Manage → DIDs for the exact call-flow, edit that flow, update the audio file, then click Save → Publish. New prompts take 2-5 minutes to propagate.
When should I use this guide?
Use these steps if callers report hearing an outdated greeting, language, or after-hours message on any service number.
1. Prerequisites
- Admin rights to Manage and Design Call-flow
- Exact DID/toll-free number callers dial
- Correct audio file ready (MP3, mono, ≤ 128 kbps; e.g., Main_IVR_EN_v3.mp3)
When will this guide NOT work?
- You edit a draft instead of the live flow
- You forget to publish changes
2. 6-step fix workflow
- Confirm DID-to-flow mapping
- Manage → DIDs → select number → note Assigned Call-flow.
- Open that live call-flow
- Call → Design Call-flow → select the flow from Step 1 → Edit.
- Check IVR nodes
- Welcome/Prompt points to the latest audio file.
- For multi-language, each node has a new file.
- Verify schedules & conditions
- After hours, holidays, and regional branches reference the new audio.
- No Hang-up/Transfer before prompt.
- Publish
- Click Save → Publish. Wait 2-5 minutes.
- Test from two carriers
- Call the DID from Jio and Airtel. Confirm the new prompt.
Expected result: Correct IVR plays in all scenarios, and Call Logs show the intended call flow.
3. Quick self-checks if the old prompt still plays
- Edited the flow actually mapped to this DID?
- Clicked Publish (not only Save)?
- Dialing the same DID you checked?
- Time-based rule sending after-hours to another IVR?
- Audio file unsupported? Re-encode to MP3 mono ≤ 128 kbps.
4. Edge cases
Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
Multiple DIDs with similar names | Edited Flow A; callers dial DID for Flow B | Repeat Steps 1-2 for the correct DID |
Missing language file | System falls back to the default prompt | Upload audio for each language node |
Draft vs Live | Changed draft only | Publish or switch to live flow |
Forwarding from personal line | Calls bypass IVR | Ensure the forwarding destination is the correct DID |
5. Two-minute test plan
- Call during business hours → hear new main IVR.
- Call after-hours → hear new after-hours IVR.
- Press 1 / 2 to check submenu audio.
- Verify in Calls → Logs that the call hit the expected Call-flow.
