In today’s busy world, where time is of the essence and every second counts towards your productivity, call screening can help you significantly in managing your time and workload. This is done by giving you the option of seeing the details of your caller as the call is received.

Call screening can assist you in prioritizing your day. Telemarketing is a growing industry and reaching the decision maker for your company is their top priority. You can send unrecognized numbers directly to your voice mail so you are not interrupted during a busy day. Waiting for that important phone call from a prospective client, call screening can be used during that critical time when you only need to deal with one client on a specific day or specific time.

  • Many VoIP services offer the auto-receptionist feature which prompts callers to reveal their names and purpose of the call, which is especially useful if you get a call from an unknown number which may potentially be a crucial business opportunity or lead.
  • If you need to reject a call for a period of time, there is the option to send a message by text, which you can either record to be as default or type it according to the person and situation. This message will be converted to speech for the caller to hear using the latest technology in text-to-speech conversion.
  • You can use VoIP call screening to block calls that are repeatedly being a hassle for you. This can be used to block out numbers from specific area codes as well as from individuals. Telemarketers’ numbers can be identified beforehand and added to the block list. Beat the telemarketers at their own game to increase your productivity and protect your work flow and concentration.
  • By sending calls to your voicemail, you are better able to manage your workflow, attending to the most important calls immediately and less important calls later.

What Real People Say About Us

Experience why Voiply has become the top-rated home phone provider, trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.

I really wanted a home phone instead of only a cell phone, and Voiply offered the perfect service. The price is reasonable and the service is exceptional; when I experienced technical issues recently, the help was immediate and thorough. My issue was solved in less than a day, and the service representative followed up personally to make sure everything had turned out alright.

Yes, we still have a landline telephone. Voiply has been an excellent provider for years. The system works smoothly, including voicemail. If I ever have a question they respond very quickly. I always feel that I am chatting with a real person, not some AI-generated bot. The price is very reasonable and I recommend them highly.

The automated system was helpful. It asked me the same thing too many times which was annoying but got the job done.

This was the easiest transition of a phone service ever! Everything transferred right on time, received the voiply box within days, plugged it in and done! No more monthly bill from a phone company. I wish I would have known about this service years ago.
