With over 20+ advanced features, no matter the features that your business needs, Business Phone helps keep the phone ringing and your business productive.
Rollover Hunting
Rollover Hunting is a feature that is managed by the Account Manager or Phone Manager. It allows incoming calls to your primary phone line to roll over to the next available line and, if al l lines are busy or not answered, the call can roll over to voicemail. It will hunt through all lines in the group once to find an idle line. You can configure multiple hunt groups and the number of rings before the call is routed to the next li ne. Each hunt group must have a minimum of two lines and a unique primary number. There are three hunt sequence options:
• Linear Hunting: routes calls to the first idle line in sequential order, starting with the first line in the group to the last line in the group. You specify the order (sequence) of the lines within the group.
• Circular Hunting: varies the starting point for the hunt group and allows for an even distribution of calls within the group. Calls will be routed to the first idle line starting with the line directly after the line on which the last call was completed. The hunt will then follow the order (sequence) of the lines in the group.
• Uniform Distribution: routes calls to the first available line in the group that has been idle the longest.
Call Queue with Music On Hold
Customers who purchase Virtual Receptionist can enhance their rollover hunt group with this feature. You can select from 12 music choices, specify the maximum time you want a caller to stay in queue and the number of callers that can be put in queue.
Note: A line that is dedicated to an alarm, credit card, ATM or fax machine should not be included in a Rollover Hunt Group.
