Call Routing to the UK & Worldwide - You can divert  calls to any phone numbers you need to, up to nine different number for each  call group. Whether the call diversion can be done for Free of whether there is  a cost for the call forwarding depends on what sort of dmNumber you have and  what sort of phone you are diverting to and it’s location.

Voicemail-2-Email - Whenever the a call in not answered you can have the system record a voicemail message from the caller and deliver it to you as an e-mail attachment, voice to e-mail has never been easier !

Provide Information - A virtual switchboard menu item does not have to be for routing a call to anyone, it can instead just give out information and announcements, status messages, e.g. "Press 3 to hear the venues for today’s meetings".

Robot Voice System - Using the Setup Wizard you just type  in what you want each message or menu item to say and the "Robot" will read out  your messages to your callers. Give it a try, you will be surprised at the quality of the Robot voice which is far better quality than the many poor  quality voice system that are available.

Upload Your Own Sound Library - records and upload your own sound files to use in place of the "Robot", the sounds could be voice greetings  or other sounds or music etc.

Set Office Hours - Set your office hours for each day of the week so that calls are automatically routed either to your phones or to voicemail depending on the day and time. SO when it’s time to stop work your  virtual switchboard system automatically goes on auto pilot !

Set Out of Office - As well as normal office hours you can  also manually set the system to Out of Office so you don't miss calls while away  from your home or office or while in meetings etc. This is especially useful for  small offices or home offices where there may not be anyone else available to  field your calls whilst you are otherwise occupied.
