The Contact CRM allows you to track all of your communications. Voicemail, notes, call records, and call recordings pertaining to a contact can be brought up as a screen pop when you answer a call. This way, you can easily have all of your caller's history in front of you when you speak to them!
WebFones allows you to create sub-organizations within your phone system for better customization of your Caller ID and Music On Hold defaults. Phone numbers, call flows, and phone extensions can optionally be assigned to specific organizations for easier management.
Schedules provide an easy way to control call routing in the system by activating or deactivating a schedule at different times. Schedules can be set up to change call routing for after-hours, lunch, holidays, or emergency call routing. In addition, extensions can control when mobile phones ring or group membership hours based on a schedule.
WebFones can be set to make multiple phone extensions ring when any phone extension is dialed. This way, a colleague or assistant can answer your phone when you are not available. Users can easily configure this feature for their extension without impacting existing call queues and the ring groups in call menus.
WebFones enables paging broadcasts by using either the speakers on phone headsets or through Snom PA1, a VoIP paging interface that plugs into a loudspeaker at larger sites. To page someone, simply dial the pager extension set up beforehand and speak into your handset.
It doesn't matter where you and your employees are located. WebFones services all locations simultaneously, so that your business appears as a single, unified entity when your customers call.

WebFones provides your receptionists with a rich set of call-handling tools to present the right professional image for your business, including an auto attendant to handle calls when no one is available to answer. This 'hybrid' approach gives callers the benefit of speaking with a live person, while efficiently routing calls when the receptionist is busy or unavailable.
The intercom allows staff to interact with each other on speaker phone without the need of answering the phone. This works on the other side of the country as easily as someone across the hall!
