Basic information about interactive voice response (IVR) menus

What is an IVR?

An interactive voice response (IVR) is a feature in corporate switchboards that allows callers to make selections via a pre-determined menu so that they can be directed to the correct department directly. The selections are made via the telephone keypad.

The switchboard package your organization has active includes button selection menus, the number of which depends on which package you are using.

Your switchboard package includes a certain number of IVR menus, depending on which package you have chosen. Do you have Light-package included 2 IVR menus, while Unlimited-the package includes a unlimited number of IVR menus. If you need more IVR menus than what is included in your current package, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade to Unlimited, rather than purchasing individual IVR menus or response groups separately.
