What is call forwarding?
Call forwarding means that calls get transferred to a different device such as a cellphone, landline phone, or computer. After call center agents set up call forwarding, they will be able to answer calls from any location. Call forwarding enables agents to work from anywhere in the world and use a number with any local area code. This way, your organization can expand its international reach and be flexible to customers’ needs, without losing the ability to monitor each of your agent’s performance.
