Frequently Asked Questions
ClevverMail ist der einfachste and günstigste Weg weltweit an eine oder mehrere seriöse Adressen zu kommen und diese über eine online Software zu verwalten. Dazu nimmt ClevverMail alle einkommende Post an diesen Adressen entgegen und stellt sie Dir digital zur Verfügung.
ClevverMail basiert auf einer simplen Idee: Ein virtueller Briefkasten. Deine Post wird von uns entgegengenommen und Du bekommst sofort eine Benachrichtigung, dass Post eingegangen ist. In dem Du Dich über Deinen Browser oder die App einloggst, kannst Du dann digital entscheiden was mit der Post geschieht – sei es Scannen, Uploaden zu Deiner privaten Dropbox, eine Weiterleitung oder Vernichtung.
Mit ClevverMail allein ist dies leider nicht möglich – und könnte je nach Land von den Behörden als rechtswidrig angesehen werden.
Mit dem ClevverMail-Add-on “Business & Registered Address” bieten wir einen besonderen Service an, der die unterschiedlichen rechtlichen Anforderungen an unseren Standorten abdeckt. Sie können es ganz einfach als Zusatz während des Bestellvorgangs Ihres ClevverMail-Postfach buchen. Wenn Sie bereits ein ClevverMail-Postfach besitzen, können Sie einfach im System upgraden.
Mit einer Business Postbox bekommst Du Deinen Firmennamen an der Tür. Eine Postbox kann jederzeit und sofort upgegraded werden, falls Du unseren Service erst mit einer As You Go oder Private Postbox testen möchtest.
Je nach gewählter Vertragslaufzeit gibt es eine Kündigungsfrist. Bei Monatsverträgen beträgt sie 14 Tage zum Vertragsende, bei 3-Monats-Verträgen 1 Monat zum Vertragsende und bei 6-, 12- und 24-Monats-Verträgen 3 Monate zum Vertragsende.
Bei uns steht Datenschutz an erster Stelle. Alle Rechnungen werden automatisch geschrieben, daher werden Deine finanziellen Informationen nicht auf unseren Systemen gespeichert. Nur Du hast Zugriff auf Deinen Online-Account und Dein Passwort und alle Daten liegen auf sicheren Servern. Unser Lager ist ebenfalls abgesichert und alle Mitarbeiter werden regelmäßig gründlich überprüft.
Für jede Postbox kann ein Privat- und Firmenname angegeben werden. In Deinem Kundenkonto kannst Du diese flexible verwalten.
Ja – ein Account kann mehrere Postboxen haben für verschiedene Privatpersonen und Firmen. Nur die einzelne Postbox kann nicht für mehr als eine Privatperson und/oder Firma sein.
Wir nehmen Briefpost und Pakete jeder Größe an. Wenn Du jedoch außergewöhnlich große und/oder schwere Post durch uns verwalten möchtest, schreib uns bitte eine Mail damit wir unser Service anpassen können.
Wir nehmen Sendungen von USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL und jedem anderen Lieferanten entgegen. Wir können für jede Sendung, welche keine persönliche Identifikation erfordert, unterschreiben. Auch Sendungen die eine Identifikation brauchen können wir unterschreiben wenn wir eine Vollmacht von dir bekommen.
Deine Post kann so lange für dich gelagert werden, wie nötig. Je nach Account-Typ lagern wir Deine Post kostenlos für bis zu 20 Tage. Wir vernichten niemals Post ohne die Aufforderung von dem Kunden.
Unsere Postweiterleitung garantiert, dass auch nur die Post bei Dir ankommt, die Du auch wirklich willst. In Deinem Account kannst du digital auswählen welche Post, wie, wann und wohin weitergeleitet werden soll und wir verschicken für Dich Post in die ganze Welt. Als Standard benutzen wir den günstigsten Lieferanten, jedoch sehr bald kannst Du in Deinem Account ein Lieferanten und eine Liefermethode auch selber auswählen
Ja, dieses ist möglich! Du kannst diese ganz einfach in Deinem Account verwalten.
Aus Prozess- und Sicherheitsgründen elauben wir es generell nicht Post selber abzuholen. Wir können aber Ausnahmen machen in Fällen die sehr wichtig und/oder dringend sind. Bitte lass es uns mindestens 24 Stunden vorher wissen, bring Deinen Ausweis mit und das Abholen wird 1€ kosten.
Post wird normalerweise innerhalb der ersten 12-24 Stunden nach Ankunft registriert und innerhalb von 24 Stunden nach der Scan/Open Anfrage kannst Du auf Deine Post zugreifen.
Wenn Du einen Brief vernichten lassen willst, handeln wir sofort. Deine Post wird dann nach Datenschutzrichtlinien vernichtet. Dieser Schritt kann nicht rückgängig gemacht werden.
After you sign up you can have as many phone numbers as you wish in your account, anywhere in the world. Calls to your international phone numbers can be forwarded to any destination worldwide at the cost of a local call.
Phone numbers can have a setup, a monthly fee plus a per-minute cost for receiving and forwarding incoming calls to your mobile or any other destination.
You can also create Voice apps – or Voice response – in order to give an even more professional impression to those calling you. There is no monthly cost for having voice apps – only a small fee per usage.
You can create Conference rooms and invite anyone to call in via a local phone number.
You can connect all your employees worldwide to the service by adding them as Users in your account. This means that you more easily can forward incoming calls to them and that they get a Clevver voicemail box. They can also use our apps to make international calls. There is no cost for adding Users in your account.
All charges for phone numbers are deducted from your Clevver account – so make sure that it has a positive balance or else the service will stop. You can refill it with a Credit Card, PayPal and a couple of other options.
Start by signing up for an account on clevver.io.
During the sign up process, you can select ClevverNumber as the product of your choice.. You can then select numbers that you want to buy right away. After signing up you can always buy more numbers by clicking on “Add a new number” in the Account Settings.
There is no limitation to the amount of numbers in your account. You can have one phone number or tens of thousands of phone numbers – in one or many different countries.
It’s up to you.
When you sign in to your account at clevver.io you have the ability to configure your phone numbers.

Download the free ClevverNumber Android or iPhone app, sign in, and start calling.
With the apps you can call your regular contacts as well as any phone numbers worldwide at the cost of local calls.
The app automatically sets up a local call in your country between your mobile and Clevver network, as well as a local call in the country you want to call, and then bridges the two calls together – negating the need to pay for an international call. This also ensures a superior call quality.
The local call in your country is either be done with Call thru (your phone calls us) or with Call back (we call your mobile phone). Call thru works in many countries. Call back works worldwide.
This basically means that you pay for two local calls when making international calls.
Using IP-telephony
The more technically savvy users can also connect IP-telephony phones to the Clevver service. This can be software or apps in mobiles or laptops or physical desktop phones for use at the office.
The easiest way to find out is to look in our price list. But here are the general principles.

Credit card PayPal and Bank Transfer
A credit Card payment is possible with VISA or Mastercard. 3D secure is used when supported by the card. All communication is encrypted and the payment will be done via payment provider Payone. No sensitive card data is stored in Clevver systems.
How to pay:
You can set a low balance warning into the system, so you receive a message before you run low on your phone account.

Here are the different ways available for answering incoming calls to your Clevver numbers.
Forward calls to your regular phone
The standard approach is to forward incoming calls to a phone number anywhere worldwide (mobile or landline) at the cost of a local call.
Answer with Voice response
If you want to sound more professional, you can connect the incoming call to a Voice response service (“For sales press 1”) which thereafter can forward the call onward to you or someone else in your team – or take a message.
Answer with IP telephony
You can also answer incoming calls with a standard IP-telephony phone. This includes software apps that can be installed in laptops and mobiles, as well as office phones that you can have on your desk.
You can also (if you are really, really techie) forward incoming calls to a so called SIP-addresses.
Have multiple phones ring at the same time
If you enter multiple phone numbers for call forwarding (your mobile and your home landline etc.) in your personal settings, while perhaps also having multiple IP-telephony phones connected to the service – then they will all ring at the same time when there is a call for you, giving you the opportunity to pick up the call with any of the phones.
You will normally see the phone number of the caller.
