Call Forwarding: How It Works and Why You Need It

Written by UnitedCloud | Feb 1, 2024 1:00:00 PM

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.

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:
