Virtual Switchboard

Your Virtual Phone System

Our Virtual Switchboard service now comes with a free professional voiceover greeting, giving your callers the right first impression!

The virtual switchboard / auto attendant service enables your inbound calls to be routed directly to the relevant department or person, be it in the same office, or to different office locations using just one telephone number for your customers to call.

When a call comes into the virtual switchboard a welcome message is played, asking the caller to choose an option using their telephone’s keypad.
