Softphones are pieces of software, such as Skype, Facetime, or Slack, that allow you to make and receive calls through devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and others.
What Is Auto-Attendant?
Auto-attendant is a software that allows incoming calls to be transferred to a particular extension automatically without the need for an operator or receptionist. This is an excellent feature for companies that receive a large number of incoming calls.
