One Number. Infinite Routing Possibilities.
A toll-free number is only as powerful as where it sends calls. Use all of your existing routing logic - time-based, geographic, IVR, ring groups - applied to every inbound toll-free call.
Time-Based Routing
Route calls to your main office during business hours, to an answering service after hours, and to a dedicated emergency line on weekends - all from a single toll-free number.
Geographic Routing
Identify the caller's area code and route to the nearest regional office, agent, or department automatically. One number, region-intelligent distribution.
Hunt Groups & Queues
Route toll-free inbound to any ring group or call queue on your existing phone system. Applies all your queue rules - hold music, position announcements, overflow - to toll-free traffic.
IVR / Auto Attendant
Greet toll-free callers with a professional menu. 'Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Support…' All your IVR logic applies to toll-free inbound.
Failover Forwarding
If your primary location goes down, automatically forward toll-free calls to a mobile number, another office, or voicemail - protecting every inbound lead.
Self-Service Routing Changes
Update routing rules from the management portal any time - no ticket, no carrier hold time. Change hours, swap destinations, or create campaign-specific routing in minutes.
Who Uses Toll-Free Numbers?
From small businesses wanting a national presence to large contact centers handling thousands of inbound calls - toll-free works for every scale.
