What is Hosted Call Recording?

Call recording is a cloud telephone feature that enables you to record your incoming and outgoing calls automatically. You can activate this feature for any of your business phone number lines. Once activated, you can record all calls made to your selected number and save the file to revisit at a later time.

The United World Telecom Hosted Call Recording feature lets you record inbound and outbound business calls through the Control Panel. Automatically record up to 100% of the call traffic received on the selected number by default or adjust the settings to record a smaller percentage of calls. For example, you can record 10% of inbound calls, where 1 in every 10 calls received will be recorded. Then, you can download the recordings to hear at another time.

Market and audience research:

Call recordings can help the marketing team improve its understanding of its target market. By listening to various customer calls, your teams can pay closer attention to the performance of their marketing efforts.
