Net2phone rerouting missed calls

Net2phone rerouting missed calls

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of automatically rerouting missed calls from individual users within your organization to a designated user, such as a receptionist or front desk. This feature ensures that no calls are missed and that callers have the opportunity to speak directly with someone, rather than leaving a voicemail. It eliminates the need for users to manually redirect calls at the end of the day, offering a seamless solution to ensure consistent communication within your team.
