Frequently Asked Questions
How do you define the Least Recent called number?
Our system identifies the answer point or team member who is next in line to receive a call. If they’ve waited longer than their team members, they’re first in line to answer the next call.
How many numbers can I include as part of Call Overflow - Least Recent?
You can have up to five answering points for this service. So, if the first phone isn’t answered, the call moves along the line to the second, and so on.
Can I send my calls to another 1300/1800 number?
No. This is not possible. A virtual number can route to a mobile, landline VoIP, Answering Service, Voicemail, etc – but not a 1300/1800 number.
