How to Setup a Voipfone PA

To use the Voipfone PA service you need to create a script for the receptionist to use when answering your calls. A script is simple and straightforward to create, and our handy script wizard will lead you through the process step-by-step. You can update these scripts at anytime using the Control Panel.

When you have a script set up, you will be able to route calls to a Voipfone PA by going to the routing page.

How Do I Use It?

1. To start using the Voipfone PA service, log into your account

2. Click on 'Services', 'Voipfone PA' and then 'Manage Scripts'

Voipfone PA Routing

Please note: Routing of calls to the Voipfone PA using diverts, inbound number setup or IVR is managed from the Voipfone PA section of the Control Panel. Outside of Voipfone PA operating hours, your settings from the Virtual PBX section will be used to route calls instead.

Individual extension users can also set their availability to take calls, and leave instructions for the Voipfone PA when they are unavailable.

Voipfone PA Availability

Certain Voipfone PA features such as diverts, availability and viewing your call logs can be accessed through our iPhone and (in the very near future) Android GeoDivert® Apps.
