## Basic Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name | A free-form label to describe the phone. |
| Phone Number | The phone number. E.164 format recommended (i.e. `+17345551212`).
If no leading plus sign is provided then it is assumed to be a United States number and an implicit `+1` country code is prepended.
Dashes and spaces are ignored.
**Note**: A phone with a smartphone platform but no number is a tablet. |
## Advanced Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Extension | The phone extension. |
| Platform | The phone's platform.
Note that `Windows Phone` is accepted as a synonym for `Windows Phone 7`. This includes devices running `Windows Phone 8`.
If a smartphone's exact platform is unknown but it will have Duo Mobile installed, use `Generic Smartphone` and generate an activation code.
When the phone is activated its platform will be detected automatically. |
| Post Delay | The time (in seconds) to wait after the extension is dialed and before speaking the prompt. |
| Pre Delay | The time (in seconds) to wait after the number picks up and before dialing the extension. |
