Do you remember anxiously waiting until 9pm to call your best friend from camp across the country? It’s true, long distance phone calls aren’t nearly as much of a concern as they used to be, with most people shifting more towards cell phone usage instead of relying heavily on landlines, but toll-free numbers still play a prominent role in helping many businesses connect with their customers and vice versa.

But aren’t toll-free numbers a little 1998? Not necessarily. Originally, toll-free numbers were primarily used to help users get in touch with large businesses without getting hit with those long distance fees, but there are a number of distinct advantages they can offer businesses today outside of those original perks.

As you’re getting your business set up or scaling it to the next level and wondering how you want to handle all the incoming calls you’re expecting, consider toll-free numbers. In this post, we’ll look at why toll-free numbers are beneficial for both your business and your callers.

A virtual PBX can transform your small business, offering increased flexibility, mobility, and efficiency while helping you improve customer service. For these reasons, the virtual PBX market is exploding. With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to figure out which one is best for your business needs.

A virtual PBX phone system uses the internet instead of traditional phone lines to make, route, and receive calls. Since this type of system doesn’t require any special hardware, you can use it anywhere, on any type of device: mobile phones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers. This type of phone system also offers business phone features and typically costs a fraction of the price of a landline.

“Auto-attendant” is a term you’ll often hear associated with phone systems. They’re a tremendously useful tool that can be customized to help businesses of all shapes and sizes. We’ve written this to explain the function of an auto-attendant, how it can help your business communicate, and how to configure a Tresta auto-attendant in just a few steps.

What is an auto attendant?

In the simplest terms, it’s exactly as the name implies: an automated attendant for your phone. You’ve probably dealt with one in the past: Have you ever called your pharmacy and heard “Thank you for calling. To ask about a prescription, press 1. To speak to an associate, press 2”? That was an auto-attendant. It answers calls, plays a pre-recorded greeting, and gives the caller options to route their call. The caller presses the corresponding number on their dialpad and their call is routed—that’s it.
