How it works
WITH VOICEMAILTEL’S VIRTUAL EXTENSIONS, you give callers a seamless calling experience, no matter where you and your staff are located. You look professional.
What are Virtual Extensions?
- Virtual Extensions are part of your virtual phone system.
- They are extensions that are not physically associated with any phone or hardware.
- They are perfectly suited to small businesses because you can customize them to suit all sorts of working arrangements.
How do Virtual Extensions work?
- First, your VoiceMailTel Auto-Attendant welcomes callers with a professional recording, prompting them to select an extension.
- Auto-attendant messages can be customized to fit your business.
For example, “press 1 for sales, press 2 for customer support, press 3 to talk with a company representative”; or, “press 1 for Bob, press 2 for Maria, press 3 for Mark”; or, “If you know your party’s extension please dial it now.”
- When the caller enters the extension, the call goes to the telephone number you have associated with the extension. It can be your number or an employee’s number; and it can be a home, office, or cellphone number. It can be anywhere, and still appear to be in the same office.
- You can also set up extensions to deliver announcements about new offers or give company information.
- The extension owner can identify callers through call screening and then answer the call, or route it to another number or extension.
- Extension messages can be personalized and availability scheduled. For example, calls can be scheduled to go to another number or voicemail when the extension owner is on vacation.
