Of course! Upon activation of your service, Vodafone Business Answering will provide you with an individual number specific to how you would like your calls handled. Once the number has been provided, you are able to set the diversion from your landline, mobile and/or 1300/1800 number based on your specific requirements.

Common diversion settings able to be setup conditionally are:

• Divert your calls if on another call
• Divert your calls after a number of rings (able to be set up with your originating number provider)
• Divert your calls if switched off or out of range (mobile-specific)

Alternatively, we are operational 24/7/365 so you are able to divert your calls and have them answered by our team whenever you feel necessary (for example, turning on your diversion only after hours, if a staff member is away sick or on annual leave, or if your usual capacity to answer calls in-house is impacted by anything else – such as a training day).

We will send your messages out with the details of your call via email and/or SMS depending on your preference. You are limited to a single message recipient on a Business Starter plan, however if you have multiple recipients who should be receiving the same message (eg sales and service departments), we can ensure message delivery to multiple mobile phone numbers and/or email addresses on any Business Receptionist or Business Assistant plan.

On any Vodafone Business Answering plan, with the exception of Business Starter, calls are able to be transferred to your mobile and/or landline number any time of the day or night. Your availability can be toggled on or off via our easy-to-use client portal.

Have multiple departments or staff that callers may ask to be put through to? Not a problem! We can have your staff/department list attached to your account so callers can be transferred to the right number.

Yes! Vodafone Business Answering’s escalation service, available as an add-on to any Business Assistant plan, is a foolproof way to ensure the right personnel are notified promptly of any emergency situations (even if it’s the middle of the night).

An escalation call is when a message is sent to your relevant contacts via SMS, email or outbound phone call and continually followed up (using a set procedure based on your company requirements) if there is no response confirming the message has been received.

Depending on your service type, and the complexity of the change, changes to your services are able to be made through your online Vodafone Business Answering client portal.

Alternatively, we have a dedicated rostering team who are able to manage your roster as per the frequency of your rotation.

Yes, as part of your business answering service, you’ll receive a free local number. You can add as many local numbers as you wish for no additional cost. We also offer 1300 numbers and 1800 numbers which you can publish as your main business number to give your business a national presence.   Please contact us for more details.

Yes. We are available to answer your call any time of the day or night. Vodafone Business Answering services are operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to help ensure your business never has to miss a call.

You can choose to have us answer calls only during business hours, only after hours or around the clock 24/7 simply by managing your diversion settings.

Once your account is activated and set up, you simply need to divert your business phone number to the unique number we provide to you. At this stage, you will choose to either forward all calls to us or only calls you’re unable to answer in-house. Then, when someone dials your number and that call is forwarded to us, our technology shows the receptionist your business name, your preferred way for the caller to be greeted and any other instructions or notes related to your account. In all instances, your call is answered as though the receptionist is sitting in your office.

Concurrent calls to your advertised business number can easily be answered by our remote receptionists. This alone can potentially prevent many of your current missed calls.

Being only able to answer one call at a time in-house means many business owners don’t even realise how many calls they’ve been missing.

Depending on your service type, and the complexity of the change, changes to your services are able to be made through your online Vodafone Business Answering client portal.

Alternatively, we have a dedicated rostering team who are able to manage your roster as per the frequency of your rotation.

An escalation service supports pre-defined events where you simply need to know your relevant staff member has been contacted and has acknowledged receipt of a message. You define which staff need to be contacted, in what sequence and using what methods, and we continually follow them up via SMS, email or outbound phone call until confirmation is received.

Each service is tailored to your specific business requirements. A simple escalation service can have all calls escalated no matter the time of day or night, whereas a more complex service may require our receptionist to ask evaluating questions to gauge the severity of the issue and the appropriate course of action.

Each service is tailored to your requirements and business process. Your service can be set up to ensure appropriate filters are in place to ensure only the calls you require follow-up for are escalated, such as based on:

• Severity of the issue
• Time of day the call is received
• Caller acceptance to your fees
• Calls from specific companies or individuals
• Specific issue type
• Any other requirement

Calls that fall outside of the escalation criteria will result in a standard email or SMS sent to be actioned during business hours or the caller may be advised to phone back during your standard operating hours.

Escalation notifications are sent via SMS, email and/or outbound phone call. Confirming receipt of an escalation notification can be done easily by:

• Replying via SMS
• Contacting our team on an allocated confirmations line
• Verbally confirming receipt of a message when our receptionist calls you

Absolutely. We can set up scripts based on the day of the week and/or time of day.

Yes! Vodafone Business Answering’s scripting solution allows you to tailor each call pathway as you require, from different questions being asked based on your caller’s responses to alternative methods of message delivery.

Our scripting software is able to be tailored to each of our client’s requirements to ensure all calls are filtered based on your specific needs. We can also input information directly into your CRM or integrate scripts with other Vodafone Business Answering specialised solutions such as Escalation Management and Lone Worker Safety Monitoring.

Certainly. We can handle basic questions about your business on most Vodafone Business Answering plans (with the exception of Business Starter). On Business Assistant plans, you can even add specific FAQs within your client portal along with the corresponding answers the receptionists can provide to callers.

When scripting is enabled on your account, it is also possible to include a set of common questions and the information that should be conveyed when they are asked. Information on issues that can easily be resolved over the phone can also be included.

Details of such calls can be included in reporting or a copy of the caller’s details can be provided as a record.

If we are unable to answer any caller queries, or the issue is more advanced or critical, we can notify your staff for resolution.
