Look the part…

When setting up an 0800 number, you may want to consider adding a Virtual Switchboard. This gives you the option to add a menu to your calls, e.g. “For sales, press 1. For accounts, press 2.” Etc. Each option on your customised menu can divert to a different phone or even the same phone. With the Call Whisper feature it’s easy to know which menu option has been pressed as you will hear a short message of your choosing before you take the call.
