About Callture

The PBX may sound confusing at first, but if you break it up into a set of simple steps, you can begin to understand how the system works.

A caller dials your Nationwide Toll Free number. They are immediately greeted by the Auto-Attendant that plays a pre-recorded greeting. This greeting can either be a generic message that Callture has pre-recorded, or a personalized greeting that you can record. Callers are then instructed to dial a specific extension (Example - Press 251 for Sales). The caller dials the extension number and is immediately routed to a number that you have associated with this extension. You can then either accept the call, or have it go into your voicemail.

The caller will never hear a busy signal, and each call is logged for you to view in your on-line account manager.

How to use a PBX
Since our PBX is managed entirely on-line, you have full control over your system at all times. All you have to do is fill in the parameters (which tell the PBX where to forward each call) and you are done. It is an easy to understand process that is much better than the alternative (hardware), and comes with a variety of useful features. For a list of features.

How to manage your PBX
Our PBX is quite possibly the easiest process you will ever need to understand. There are only 3 steps to follow, once your PBX is active.

1) Decide how many extensions you need, and have a corresponding phone number for each extension
2) Record a personalized Auto-Attendant greeting, if you wish
3) Record personalized voicemails for each extension that requires it, again, if you wish

Once these steps are completed, you can sit back and relax. Since there is no hardware to instill and configure, you never have to deal with confusion, down-time, or pay a hefty bill for a technician to repair your PBX. It is simple to use, and easy to understand..


Key benefits of Callture

Nationwide Toll Free Number
This is the main number that the features and benefits revolve around. This is the number that you
can advertise and give out to prospects and clients so they can reach you. The PBX (extensions) and voicemail (Enabled or Forced) can only work once this number becomes active. Callture gives you the option of selecting your own Toll Free Number. You can select an existing number from our list, which will be active within 24 hours. However, you also have the option of having a personal and unique Toll Free Number, Vanity numbers will become active within 4-7 business days. [top]

Professional Greeting

When you sign up for our PBX, you have the option to either use a generic greeting, or create your own. Callture has already established 3 greetings that you can choose from. However, to give your business a more personal feel, you can record your own greeting.
You can select the type of greeting you wish to use by following the instructions on your on-line account manager[top]

Auto-attendant

The auto-attendant is the best way to route your calls, and give your business that corporate feel. Upon calling your Toll Free Number, the caller will hear the greeting and will be prompted to dial an extension. Even better, you can create sub-menus based around the original menu.[top]

Voicemail Capacity

The voicemail for the Toll Free Numbers has a default capacity of 10 messages at any given time. However, you can increase this limit by calling our customer service representatives and requesting a larger capacity. Also, you can download your messages onto a computer and listen to them as audio files. You will be given notification via e-mail upon the arrival of each new message.[top]

Dynamic Operator Extension

By default, extension "0" will be forwarded to the receptionist. However, you can assign this extension to any number.[top]

We use them to service our toll free numbers and our faxes. The great thing about this is we can log in to their website and quickly and easily change the forwarding number, so for example when our company's land line was down for 2 days, we just rerouted the toll free numbers to my cell and were able to stay in business. Without the service, we would have lost 2 days of phone calls and faxes.

Pros

We have been using Callture for over 10 years. We had one problem about 5 years ago with their fax machine not connecting to one specific fax machine that was trying to send a fax. They fixed it immediately by upgrading the fax server and have not had a problem since.

Cons

No problems at all. Can't think of any features missing.

I was very impressed with Callture , from sales to support, if you need something they are there for you.

Pros

If I am not in the office, all calls forward to my cell phone, so I don't miss any calls. So, if your internet goes down, you're not out of business. Any changes needed support is always happy to help.

Cons

I did not have any issues moving from one provider to Callture.

Reasons for Choosing Callture

They start at 2 lines and go up from there. I only needed one line with internet fax but had to pay for two lines. No way around it.

Reasons for Switching to Callture

After reading reviews on all of them and also looking for a local company that can support my needs. I picked Callture.

Overall, Callture is a good value. It is complex and confusing to use, and support is not a pleasant experience. Given how crowded this market is, there are likely better options for the money.

Pros

Callture has excellent tracking and automatic call recording, so it's an excellent solution for contact centers who need to record their calls. It's also great for quality assurance and even monitoring--it's hard to beat Callture if this is what you're looking for.

Cons

Callture's user interface is clunky and difficult to use. Once you select a number, it's not available until after their billing processes run, usually overnight. The only thing worse than their UI is their customer service--be prepared to talk with someone with a heavy accent who is unwilling to deviate from their script.

I have not experienced any problems. I did contact them a few times for clarification of some features and they are responsive and easy to reach.

Pros

In summary:When I was looking for a toll free number for my business, Callture was one of the easiest to set up and use. Not only was I able to secure a vanity number, it came with a complimentary toll free fax number as well. All faxes come in as an email (PDF) and even sending out is a breeze using the online platform. Not that I use it a lot, but nice to know it's there when you need it.My wife runs the office and all service requests are automatically forwarded to her cell phone.I like the fact you can set up extensions and time frames where incoming calls should go to voicemail. E.g.: after 9 PM.The call centre automatically routes calls like a 24/7 switchboard operator.I have been using Callture for several years now, the product is highly customizable, easy to use and fairly priced.Thanks.Antonie Mulder.owner of bclsguy.com

Cons

The call centre announcements can be customized with your own or a computerized voice.Wish the latter was a free feature.
