Overview

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology that allows you to make and receive phone calls over the internet. Over the last decade, India has undergone a digital revolution – more people & businesses (than ever before) now have access to high-quality internet. This has made it possible for businesses to use VoIP as a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional customer communication systems like landlines or PBX.

About VOIP Calling

Global Contact Centre(VOIP-PSTN intermix) - For International customers via International Virtual/Toll Free number. The VOIP-PSTN intermix gives you the flexibility to route the calls on the agent's mobile/landline number or the Softphone. 

This comes handy in case the agents have internet connectivity issues while on the go, and they can switch to PSTN mode so that they don’t miss any call.

  • Well Documented API’s - Leverage Exotel’s powerful APIs for powering your calls and SMSs.
