System Features
Voice
Voice over Internet Protocol calling offers a range of features that enhance communication and collaboration. Here are some common VoIP calling features:
Call Waiting: Allows users to receive notifications of incoming calls while already on a call. Users can switch between calls or hold the current call to answer the new one.
Call Forwarding: Redirects incoming calls to another phone number or device. Users can forward calls to a mobile phone, another landline, or a VoIP softphone.
Caller ID: Displays the caller's information, such as name and phone number, before answering the call. Helps users identify incoming calls and make informed decisions.
Voicemail: Records and stores voice messages when a call is unanswered or when the user is unavailable. Users can retrieve and manage voicemail messages at their convenience.
Conference Calling: Enables multiple participants to join a single call, fostering collaboration among team members or external parties.
Call Transfer: Allows users to transfer an ongoing call to another extension or phone number seamlessly. This is useful for directing calls to the appropriate department or individual.
Hold Music: Plays music or recorded messages when a caller is placed on hold, providing a better experience for the caller during wait times.
Do Not Disturb (DND): Temporarily blocks incoming calls or sends them directly to voicemail. Users can activate DND when they don't want to be disturbed.
Call Recording: Records calls for quality assurance, training, or compliance purposes. Recorded calls can be stored and retrieved later.
Auto Attendant: An automated voice system that greets callers and provides menu options for directing calls to specific extensions or departments.
Interactive Voice Response (IVR): An automated system that interacts with callers, gathers information, and routes calls based on the caller's input.
Call Monitoring: Allows supervisors or administrators to listen in on ongoing calls for training, coaching, or quality control purposes.
Speed Dial: Allows users to assign and dial frequently called numbers using a single button or a short dialing code.
Call History: Keeps a record of incoming, outgoing, and missed calls, providing users with a history of their recent phone activity.
HD Voice Quality: Delivers high-definition voice quality for clearer and more natural-sounding conversations.
Unified Communications: Integrates voice calling with other communication channels, such as messaging and video conferencing, for a unified and seamless experience.
These features contribute to the efficiency, flexibility, and productivity of VoIP calling systems in both professional and personal settings.
