TRY NOWWhat is a virtual receptionist?
Think of the last time you called into a large company. You likely had to choose your preferred language, navigated through a phone menu, and select a particular department or extension with an automated guide. In these instances, you were using a multi-level (or nested) virtual receptionist. Once considered a big business feature, the virtual receptionist is now available to businesses large and small, thanks to business VoIP providers like Ooma.
