How Inbound Voice is helping businesses
Manage, monitor and optimise your incoming business calls, so that your customers can contact you as easily as possible.
Number types
Choose the number type that fits your business and increase sales by enabling your customers to call you at a reduced rate.
Freephone numbers
With our easily remembered ‘0800’ freephone numbers, your customers can contact you as conveniently as possible, as you’ll cover the cost of the incoming calls.
Local rate numbers
Our ‘01’, ‘02’ or ‘03’ local rate numbers allow your customers to avoid expensive national rates and call you at a local rate – no matter where in the country they are.
Revenue share and premium rate numbers
Generate income from your customers’ calls and offset the costs of your service with our ‘084-087’ revenue share and our ‘09’ premium rate numbers.
International inbound numbers
By providing international inbound numbers, you’ll allow your overseas customers to call you at a geographic rate and contact you as easily as your UK-based customers.
Flexible features
Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
Through the automated resolution of telephone enquiries, IVR helps reduce your headcount and make sure callers get through to the right location with less delay. Our scalable solution requires low up-front investment and gives you the flexibility to pay as your business grows.
Area-based routing
If you have more branches throughout the country but want to advertise one number only, area-based routing is the right solution for your business. Our portal allows you to break down the country as you prefer and put your callers through to their local site.
Date or call exceptions
As an example, you can have a list of customers that you don’t want to let through to your service and have another list of customers that you want to give top priority to and send to a special team.
Call recording
We can help you meet your regulatory requirements by providing network-based call recording. As calls are recorded in the network, you won’t need expensive on-site equipment. Our configurable settings allow you to decide if you want all calls recorded, whether calls are only recorded once the receiving agent presses the * key, or if you want all calls recorded, but want to give the receiver the ability to pause and resume recording. Call recording helps you improve agent performance, as well as customer satisfaction.
Disaster recovery
We understand that offering a reliable and continuous service is crucial for your business. The disaster recovery (DR) feature allows you to set plans that the service needs to follow, in case you activate emergency routing. The portal allows you to create a new DR group for each plan or to use an existing one. You can also select whether you want calls to be sent to an existing service or to another target number.
Business benefits
