Call Forwarding: How It Works and Why You Need It

Learn how call forwarding can boost your business communication efficiency with UnitedCloud's advanced service. Never miss a call again and stay connected 24/7.

Missed calls can be frustrating for both the caller and receiver. However, it can be even more frustrating for customers who have been on hold for a long time, only to end up not having their call answered or, worse, being connected to the wrong person or department. 

Every missed call on your business phone number could potentially mean a missed opportunity for a customer to connect with you. This missed opportunity could result in lost revenue if the caller decides to try another business instead of yours. To avoid this situation, you can use a call forwarding service.

What is Call Forwarding?

Call forwarding is a service that allows you to redirect incoming calls to up to five external numbers, such as your colleagues, different departments, or your mobile device. It ensures that every call reaches the right person, at the right time, resulting in a smoother and more responsive communication flow for your business. Our advanced call forwarding service makes it easy to set up and use.

How Does Call Forwarding Work with UnitedCloud?

With UnitedCloud's call forwarding service, the days of playing phone tag and constantly reaching voicemail are over. UnitedCloud offers more than just a basic call forwarding feature; it provides a comprehensive communications platform. This platform enhances your ability to stay connected with your customers without the hassle of missed calls. 

Benefits of Call Forwarding

Voicemail transcription can significantly enhance your team's efficiency and responsiveness, especially if you're dealing with a high volume of missed calls and voicemail messages. Here are some of the key benefits:

After-Hours Support

Work schedules are no longer limited to the traditional 9-to-5. Teams like tech support or repairs work round the clock to ensure business continuity. That's where UnitedCloud comes in - it seamlessly redirects calls to the staff on duty after normal business hours, ensuring that your business remains accessible and responsive 24/7.

Voicemail Forwarding

Forwarding voicemails with UnitedCloud is as easy as sending an email. This feature lets you not only forward messages but also read them, simplifying voicemail management and boosting productivity.
