Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have more than two answering points?
Our Business Hours Routing feature includes just the two. We find this is perfect for most small businesses. If you need more options, you’ll love our Roster Routing or Time and Day-Based Routing, as these allow you to add more answering points.
Can I access call details?
Yes, you can. You’ll get built-in reports with details on all your calls. Our customers love using these reports to measure their marketing ROI. You can access your reports via your My Zintel portal.
In case I need to change my routing scheme, how much will it cost?
All Zintel plans include 1 free change every month. If you need additional changes within 1 month, we will charge $10 per change. If you need something more complex, we can provide you with a quote.
