How EZ Route Works

Inbound toll-free calls are routed to EZ Route. Based on your customized application design, calls are answered via touch-tone or a speech-recognition menu. The caller inputs a menu choice or provides ANI or DNIS information that is then matched to the EZ Route application. If the caller needs to speak with a live agent, the call is routed appropriately.
