Forward Calls With 08 Direct

With 08 Direct’s extensive range of non geographical numbers you not only benefit from a non geographical number for your business but gain flexibility and portability when you forward calls to landlines or mobiles.

Choose from 0844, 0845, 0800, 0871 and 03 number ranges – numbers completely free when choosing from our bronze number packages.

Whichever number you choose for your business 08 Direct can set this up on your existing line, whether mobile or landline. On top of this 08 Direct can forward calls to other numbers when lines are busy or you are out of the office but still able to answer calls. Forward calls to different departments, people or mobiles depending on the time of day, call volume or staff expertise.

During periods of downtime when a disaster recovery plan is required, 08 Direct can forward calls to mobile handsets, allowing people to still answer and greet clients outside of the office.

Another way to forward calls with 08 Direct is through the use of Ring Groups or Hunt Groups. A ring group allows several lines to be rung simultaneously, meaning more than one person can answer the call. Hunt groups forward calls to extensions in a designated order until someone is free to take the call.

With every non 08 number registered with 08 Direct you will also receive a call management package including, Welcome Message, Call Whisper, Auto Attendant, Voicemail, Voicemail to Email, Fax to Email, Call Forwarding and our specialist Code Blue Call Statistics, helping you to analyse your inbound call trends.
