Clip No Screening

Call screening manages incoming phone calls by identifying and filtering the calls before the recipient answers:

■ Blocks unwanted cold calls from sales agents or from Spam numbers to minimize distractions and interruptions in every day operations
■ Prioritizing to only answer calls from specific contacts or numbers or direct routing of urgent calls to users while routing less urgent calls to voice mail.
■ Enhancing Security by verifying the identity of the caller before connecting the call.
■ Improving Productivity by ensuing that only relevant calls reach employees.

Hosted Essentials customers are billed for all uploaded numbers including both active and inactive DIDs.
