FAQs
What does Hearsay use to make phone calls?
Hearsay allows you to connect using cellular or VOIP, depending on your organization's configuration.
What are the benefits of cellular?
Calls can be made anywhere with strong cellular coverage. Calling and long distance plans are increasingly unlimited offerings from carriers.
Are there any considerations when using cellular?
If cell coverage is sparse, calls can be dropped. Cellular uses phone minutes to complete the call and international calls may cost more. Return calls may be placed using the personal number. Caller ID may be inconsistent or impact reliability. A bridge number experience can be awkward for recipients so it is something to be mindful of.
What are the benefits of using VOIP?
With internet connection, anyone can make a call to any user. Calls are not restricted by call minutes or long distance. VOIP calls work on Wifi, 5G, and LTE. Users can easily enable features like international calling, voicemail, and click-to-call from CRM.
Are there any considerations for using VOIP?
The main thing to keep in mind with VOIP is there is an increase mobile data usage/costs when not using wifi.
What happens if calls are dropped?
