Key Press to Answer

You can now decide what to do with a call.

  • Find out who’s calling you and decide where the call goes next
  • Avoid interruptions and stay in control of your time and your business
  • Answer it yourself or send it to your business or personal voicemail

To use this feature, you will need to have or buy an Zintel number.

What is Key Press to Answer?

Choose what happens next with a simple click.

A message announces whether your call comes from any of your virtual numbers, or whether it’s a personal call. You can either take the call yourself by pressing any key to answer. Key Press to Answer has a lot in common with Call Announce. The main difference is that you only answer your call if you choose to press any key on your phone.

Why use Key Press to Answer?

When you know who’s calling, choosing what to do next is easy.

Find out who’s calling you

Zintel Customer Case Study

Laura runs a small but busy real estate agency. All the calls to her 1800 number go to his mobile. Laura struggles to identify whether a call is for business (from the 1800 number) or for personal. This means that work and personal messages often get muddled up. And she often misses important business calls because she isn’t always available to chat.

With Key Press to Answer combined with Call Overflow, Laura can now identify where the call is coming from and whether it’s personal or business. When Laura isn’t available to chat, she overflows business calls to her agents’ mobiles. If all her agents are unavailable, the calls are sent to Voice to Email so they can follow it up later.
