In order to retain callers and reduce their frustration when lines are busy, a Call Queue can be used. Calls are queued within the carrier network rather than on your phone system and lines, meaning that you don’t need expensive surplus lines on site to handle call volumes that only occur during peak periods. With network Call Queueing you have unlimited line capacity.
Like all services, Call Recording is a cloud-based feature that can be activated instantly on any number – even ported landlines, without any hardware installation. Fully scalable to any size organisation, recordings can either be downloaded or delivered by email or FTP. Call Recording is available on all inbound numbers.
This service adds an automated menu system to your number (press 1 for Sales, 2 for Customer Support etc.).
This service enables you to route calls to specific destinations dependent upon the geographical origin of the caller, (including both landline and mobile callers). You can easily set up a simple state-based area call plan in minutes or even manage a more complex exchange based or postcode based call routing system easily and quickly.
The conference service enables users to build a call conference in seconds, with customised audio announcements. Multiple Local (02,03,07,08) or International numbers can be pointed to the same conference to make the cost a local call to all participants, regardless of where they are calling from. Conference calls can also be call recorded.
In the event of an emergency, Disaster Recovery can be used to divert all calls to an alternative line or call plan, quickly and easily either online or through the mobile app.
An essential service for maintenance, monitoring and training purposes, Online Call Statistics provide invaluable information detailing everything needed for the efficient management of your inbound traffic.

As fax machines become less popular, this service enables your customer to send a fax which is then converted to a TIFF or PDF file and delivered to email or stored in a designated FTP location. You can remove the unnecessary cost of fax lines and fax machines.
A Pre-connection Greeting is a short recording which is played to the customer upon connection. It can be used to simply greet the customer or to give important information.
A Whisper can be used to notify the call recipient of the call’s origin. For example, you might advertise three numbers for three different products routing to a single line.
A Hunt Group can cycle a call through all available lines until someone picks up (and can be set to cycle through different destination numbers at different times of day).
Another option within a Hunt Group, this service allows up to seven different destination numbers (landline or mobile) to ring at the same time until the call is answered. This is a cloud based service offering phone system-like functionality over a wide area, so is not restricted to a single location, as in a phone system.
An option within a Hunt Group, incoming calls can be routed to a pre-defined list of locations on a percentage share basis, allowing for call distribution to be weighted across multiple sites.
This service can transfer a call internally or from one type of line to another (landline to mobile for example). Enables you to transfer calls between sites without paying for the cost of a transfer or tying up your lines in the process. This also gives remote sites or even mobiles functionality as if they were linked on a PBX telephone system.
This service displays either a caller’s number or the number the caller dialled. This is especially useful if you have multiple numbers routing to a single destination.
This feature enables you to divert calls to audio, voicemail or another destination on specific dates, e.g. public holidays.
This feature enables you to route calls differently according to the specific numbers of callers (e.g. VIP or problem callers). Callers can be assigned to groups and each group handled according to your desired call flows.
