Call waiting for queue calls
There should be an ability to have call waiting for queue calls as using an IVR with set queues is the easiest way of having an overall system and using simultaneous rings for the same phone number that's a direct line vs using a queue for the IVR is a laborious set up process and tends to complicate a phone system for businesses and the customers.

We are experiencing issues with the phone app. My employees are not receiving alerts/notifications when there is an incoming call and they are already on the phone. They could be on the phone with a client and someone could be calling but no alert or notifications pops up, the phone does not ring alerting them of a new call incoming. Company is TransPro Logistics Inc, contact number is 586 565 1659. Email address: operations@transprologisticsinc.com. Thank you!

What happens if all monitored users are on active queue calls?

Hello, this does not help those users using the physical T46S or T54W phones. This is crucial for us to get this situated. We need our receptionist to handle more than 1 call at a time. The Intermedia company allows for multiple calls coming in to be seen with each user even with call groups assinged.

The fact this feature is not included for Essentials plans and that even when included does not beep or give some kind of notification the person can hear is Extremely disappointing. I cannot emphasize that enough. This product clearly is not designed with small businesses in mind. If it is not added soon, we will be looking into other phone providers.

Matthew commented
I am right there with you. They also do not offer it for essentials plan so I am considering just switching companies as soon as our business starts slowing down in a few months. This is definitely not a small business friendly application.

We understand your point here Travis. We just wanted to provide some clarity on how Call Queue Pickup can work. On the hard phones, you can leave that "Ring my phone when any user I am monitoring rings" setting off, but you will only get the lamp lit when another queue call comes in; no audible indicator. We do realize that is not ideal, but wanted to share all current options!

This is so close but not quite there.This basically ignores people that use physical phones.And the option to ring if users that im monitoring rings is also close but I don���t want my phone to ring for everyone I put in HUD. Only this call queue.ThanksTravis Hill

while in a call que, I need all users to see incoming calls while on a active call. I need internal users to see other internal users calling direct extensions.

I switched from a "call queue" to a "ring group" and it seems to work like I'd want it. I've spent a lot of time searching for how to do this, came across "shared line" but never heard of "ring group" before this message. I feel like there needs to be a better small business (mom & pop) discussion, that leaves out all the features meant for bigger businesses.

This is not small business-friendly at all. We do not always have multiple employees in the office to answer phones all the time. We need to have the functionality to allow a single employee to be able to place an active call on hold so that they can answer another incoming call. Currently, this is an epic failure on your part to not have this feature already integrated. I currently use your phone system in 15 of our different small businesses across seven states and pay for 54 user accounts. I am going to have to start looking for alternative phone service providers if this feature cannot be integrated very soon.

I'm trying to replicate a 40 year old AT&T hardline system. If the first line is busy and someone calls, it'd ring over to a 2nd line. Our main secretary could put first line on hold and answer 2nd, or a second phone could pick up the 2nd caller/line. In order to have 2 physical phones, I need 2 users. I was told a "call queue" was the way to have both phones ring at once, but I'm discovering the second caller doesn't ring our main secretary's phone if they are on a line with another caller. I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just something every old-fashioned analog hard line phone at a small business would have had decades ago. How is this not possible? How has this sat for 2 and a half years?

Adding people that can pick up a call when the queue members are all on a call is not a substitute to being able to put a customer on hold, pick up an incoming call, and place them on hold to go back to the first customer. When you don't have enough people to add to the "additional pickup," the feature is useless. Many people are asking for a very simple call hold and pickup calls waiting, and it seems as though the feature you added took more time and effort than the feature people are actually asking for.

This is a pretty basic feature for a phone system, why isn't it available on our standard package? We don't need any of the other feature of the premium or ultimate packages.

Hi all, this feature is available in our Admin Portal. This excludes Standard and Essential Plan, and you might want to check with your Account Manager if this feature is unavailable on your end.

I have had multiple customers now request for the receptionist to receive a call waiting beep. This has been planned for 2 and a half years. Is there any time frame on this?
