InstantSwitchboard Latest News

23rd February 2009 - NEW FREE FEATURE

A businessman once said "Half the cash I spend on advertising is wasted, but the problem is, I don't know which half!". Using Instantswitchboard, we can show you how to spend your advertising budget wisely and save yourself a fortune on wasted advertising that simply doesn't work for you. It will take just minutes!

The ability to track your marketing is one of the most powerful features of Instantswitchboard. By choosing to use one 0844 number on your website and another one your adverts, you can simply compare the total number of calls each number received! It's as simple as that, with just a quick glance you'll know which websites or adverts are providing you with the best return on your money.

We want you to be able to use this powerful feature as much as possible so we are now giving every Instantswitchboard account holder one extra 0844 number completely free of charge! We are also now allowing access to our exclusive 'Account Management' tools which were previously only available to holders of Bronze accounts. You will now be able to easily and quickly compare different 0844 numbers and produce a simple but powerful one page report, that will show you where all your calls are coming from.

If you want to make use of this fantastic money saving feature, simply log into your account and choose the 'GET NEW NUMBER' button to get yourself an extra 0844 number completely FREE!

Once you've got your new 0844 number you can then click 'CAMPAIGNS' to make full use of this powerful marketing and reporting tool. We hope you'll find this extra free allocation useful. If you are aware of a company or business that spends a lot of money on marketing or 'pay per click' online campaigns, then please pass on the news about this extra free service from Instantswitchboard.

Now More Landline Destinations Available!

We have now made a huge improvement to our switchboard service by providing an increased number of landline destinations. There are now FIVE destinations for your 0844 number to be directed to, instead of the previously available three. This means that the switchboard service can now become a great money saving tool for larger companies with more varied requirements.

It is now especially useful for companies who have employees who work from home. The extra landlines really do make the service more adaptable to the ever changing needs of your business!

Problems for Internet Phone Line Users Have Now Been Reduced

Using a broadband connection (VOIP) to reduce your telephone bills is a great new way to save your company money but it can cause a few problems too!

The InstantSwitchboard service automatically rings a number for a maximum of 24 seconds, after this time if the phone is not picked up, the switchboard diverts onto the next landline number you have chosen. The problem with broadband telephone users is that the telephone doesn't usually ring within this time period which results in the caller eventually terminating the call and an alert will be sent to you notifying you of a missed call.

Now broadband telephone users (VOIP) can choose the type of line they use on their account settings and the InstantSwitchboard service will automatically increase the period of time above the normal 24 seconds so the phone can be answered without generating missed call alerts.

Added Flexibility During Holiday Periods

Now with a simple mouse click to tick a 'box', your telephone number can be closed during holiday periods. This is a great addition to our 'easy to use' website and i'm sure will become a very popular tool purely because of its simplicity.

All of the above features are now current and in use so why not access your InstantSwitchboard account and make full use of the new options available. Over 10,000 companies had joined InstantSwitchboard by the end of last month (Oct 08), which we believe has made our 100% free call manager system the largest independent system in the united Kingdom. Please keep on spreading the word, eight out of ten of our signups are from the personal recommendations of our current users. Thank you to everyone for your support!
