Just like the automated answering systems large companies have, this system allows for businesses to set up auto answering for callers trying to reach the business.[44] Users are allowed to have their own recordings and provide prompts with a number selection based on the department or individual a caller might be trying to reach, which the system then routes to a number based on the selection.

Added features are that callers can be instructed to introduce themselves, and this gets played to the user when the call is connected, allowing the user to choose if they want to take the call or ignore it.
