Call screen enables entrepreneurs to manage their incoming calls. There are quite a few features available including caller ID, call block and redirect that help entrepreneurs better manage their incoming calls. Out of all these features, call screening is the most efficient. All the major service providers of a virtual phone offer this feature for their customers.

Caller ID

The caller ID displays the number of the caller. In other words, it shows the number where a call is coming from. It can even show unlisted phone numbers. The only numbers that are not displayed on caller ID are those that are blocked.

Call Block and Routing

This is another fantastic feature that allows entrepreneurs to take full control of their telephonic communication. If he has a troublesome caller, he can simply block his/her number. If you are running an advertisement then you can use this feature to limit the number of calls you receive per day. You can also block an entire area code if you want. Using call routing, an entrepreneur can route calls to other phone numbers and also to his voicemail box.

Helps to Make a Choice

But call screen is more effective and efficient than all these features. It allows you to talk directly to the person you want to and yet you have a choice. You need not answer all calls. Using call screening service you speak only with those whom you think are important and can redirect the rest to your voicemail box.

Helps Entrepreneurs save Time

Call screen and announce helps an entrepreneur to save his time. This feature can be used with call forwarding feature. An entrepreneur can enable this feature on any extension that is using call forwarding and prompt his callers to record his name. Since a virtual phone system can be used with home phone, cell phone and office phone, call screen can also be used with any of these phones.

Now when a virtual phone connects you with the customer or prospect, instead of connecting directly with the caller the name of the caller is announced. So the entrepreneur has a choice. He needs to decide whether he wants to speak or direct him to the voicemail box.

Helps Him to Prioritize

He can speak with the caller, if he feels it’s really important or can redirect it to the voicemail box to respond it at his convenience. Using call screen, it is possible for entrepreneurs to get rid of time wasters and devote his time and energy to grow his business. A call screening feature is more efficient than a personal assistant. It helps entrepreneurs to answer all his important calls instantly and redirect others to his voicemail box. Notifications of voicemails are immediately sent thereby minimizing chances of calls going unanswered. With call screening an entrepreneur simply prioritizes his telephonic communication.
