Frequently asked questions.

What is call routing and how does it work?

Call routing is the process of directing incoming calls to the right person or department based on predefined rules. Your VoIP business phone system evaluates conditions like time of day, caller ID, and agent availability, then sends the call to the appropriate destination — all in milliseconds.

What are the different types of call routing?

The most common types are time-based routing (route by schedule), skills-based routing (match callers to qualified agents), caller-based routing (VIP treatment or spam blocking), and sequential/simultaneous routing (try one person or ring everyone at once).

What is skills-based routing?

Skills-based routing matches incoming callers to the team member best equipped to help them. For example, a French-speaking caller can be routed to a bilingual agent, or a technical inquiry can go straight to your senior tech. It reduces transfers and gets callers to resolution faster.
