2.5.2 Prompted call back

Prompted call back works much the same way as auto call back, except that you can change the call back number remotely. The call back number is stored in TalkSwitch until you change it. This means that you can change your call back telephone number and message each time you activate call back.

If you are travelling to a location where you do not yet know the phone number, you can use prompted call back to save on your long-distance charges. For details on using call back, see 3.11.2 Using call back on page 145.

You need to activate prompted call back before you can use this feature. The call back out of the system to the number programmed always uses the same line that was dialed.

Figure 101: Configuring prompted call back

1.Select Call Back/Call Bridge -> Prompted Call Back.

2.Click the checkbox next to Activate Prompted Call Back.

3.Enter the number TalkSwitch will call (e.g. your hotel telephone number). If you require a dialing prefix or long-distance discounts, check the Use dialing prefix box and enter the prefix.

4.If you expect the call back from TalkSwitch to be answered by a receptionist before it gets to you, you can have the unit play a recorded announcement when someone answers the call back. This is useful if you need the call transferred to a hotel room. The message could say: “This is a call for Bob in room 587. Please transfer the call”.
