What is a call management system?

A business call management system allows you to customize how and when you receive calls. There are many options!

For example, you can set business hours and an away greeting to greet callers outside of 9-5. Or you could close your Sales extension but leave Support open to help.

For an additional fee, you can even have Grasshopper ring all your forwarding numbers at once. This prevents customers from being kept waiting if a team member is busy.

What are the benefits of a business call management system?

  • Business hours: Set up a call schedule so you get calls only when you want them.
  • Different schedules: Customize by individual extensions so people can still take calls after hours if they want.
  • Call blocking: Prevent spam and unwanted callers by blocking numbers from your call history.
  • Call blasting: Ring all your forwarding numbers simultaneously so calls get answered quicker (paid add-on).

Can each forwarding number have their own hours?

What does Call Blasting cost?

$10 per month. To turn on Call Blasting, go to Settings, click Features and then select Add Call Blasting. It’ll automatically turn on for all your extensions, but you can customize it for each number in their Options menu.

How do I block a number?

It’s easy to do in your online account and in the Grasshopper mobile apps. If you’re online, visit the Messages & Calls section and find the number you want to block. Then in the More drop-down menu, select Block! In the mobile app, head to the recent calls section, tap the information icon next to the number and select Add to Block Numbers. That’s it!
