VirtualPBX provides every extension owner in your company with custom routing. If the employee isn’t available, the call will go to the personalized business voicemail account for that employee as a result. In this way, each employee can have a business greeting for callers. Similarly, you can set up voicemail boxes for departments or your company as a whole. Even if the call goes to a phone that already has personal voicemail, we can make sure your business calls only go to your business voicemail system. People that call the employee’s number directly get personal greetings, those that go through VirtualPBX get a business greeting.
