In-Network Calling

Effective communication is at the heart of business success. As companies expand globally, the need for reliable and cost-effective communication solutions becomes increasingly paramount. Our in-network calling feature emerges as a powerful communication tool, offering you a seamless way to connect and collaborate with your teams, regardless of geographical barriers. With our in-network conferencing functionality, your teams can:

• Collaborate and communicate for free in real-time
• Onboard and train new remote or distributed employees
• Connect with other team members for comprehensive understanding of customer issues.

What is In-Network Calling?

Calls between two or more users on the same phone network are referred to as in-network calls.

In-network calls within the United World Telecom network can be placed through the UWT Softphone. These calls are free, meaning your teams can jump on a quick call to discuss a case without worrying about using up monthly minutes. You can use this feature to link distributed teams and foster collaboration within your business network.

How Does In-Network Calling Work?

It operates similarly to other cloud-based telephony tools. Let’s say your employee in New York needs to discuss a project with a colleague in London. They can make a free in-network call. During this call, your voice is converted into small data packets. These data packets are then transmitted from the sender to the receiver via the internet using VoIP technology. This enables the call to reach the colleague in London almost instantly.

This efficient method helps your teams collaborate seamlessly across different locations without incurring high costs typically associated with traditional international phone calls.

For United World Telecom users:

Within the web dialer or softphone interface, active users within your network are indicated by a green phone icon. You can initiate calls by entering the user’s extension number or simply clicking on the green call button. Additionally, leveraging this feature enables you to conduct three-way calls with in-network team members through the merge button.

How Can Your Business Use In-Network Calling?

Businesses ranging from multinational corporations to small-scale companies and startups can leverage the in-network calling feature. It streamlines and facilitates seamless, unified communications for remote teams across various locations.

In-network calling is particularly invaluable for cross-functional teams like marketing, product development, and sales, as it helps in real-time collaboration. Improve team communication with enhanced coordination and decision-making for improved productivity and outcomes.
