Auto Attendant Menu

Professional call management made easy

Auto Attendant / IVR menu is an automated answering system that professionally greets your callers and directs them to the right department or person, without the need for a receptionist.

This feature ensures every call is answered promptly and routed efficiently, improving customer experience and saving you time. Whether you have a small team or multiple departments, Auto Attendant helps you manage calls 24/7 with customisable menus and options.

An Auto Attendant IVR menu system is a customisable voice menu that callers hear when they ring your number. It acts as a virtual receptionist, guiding callers through options to ensure their call reaches the right department or person quickly and efficiently.

With our service, the auto attendant / IVR is fully customisable; you can upload your own recorded messages or create them easily using our free text-to-speech tool. This flexibility allows you to tailor the greeting and menu options to perfectly match your business needs.

You can set up the auto attendant / IVR Menu to route calls to specific ring groups, play announcements, or send callers to voicemail after they select their option. Whether you want to direct calls to sales, support, or another team, you decide exactly how calls are handled after the menu.

Using an auto attendant / IVR as the first point of contact for your virtual phone number is an effective and cost-efficient way to manage incoming calls. It improves customer experience by providing clear directions and reduces the need for live reception staff.

A typical greeting might sound like this:
“Welcome to Dave’s Auto Parts. To help us handle your call efficiently, please choose from the following options: Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Service, or Press 3 to leave a message.”

  • A professional greeting ensures callers feel valued from the first moment

  • Customisable menus let you tailor options to your business needs

  • Easy setup with options to upload your audio or use free text-to-speech

  • Efficient call routing directs callers quickly to the right department or person

  • Reduces the need for live reception staff, saving time and costs

  • Handles calls 24/7, providing consistent service even outside business hours

  • Improves customer experience by minimising wait times and confusion

Here’s what our customers think...

The Number People - Professor

Excellent all round - Highly recommended

Easy to use online portal, excellent customer service while being the cheapest provider I have found for VoIP number to use for my startup business.  I like that as my business grows the upgrade options are reasonable and remain affordable.  I would highly recommend Number People.

Really Excellent

Fast, friendly and professional. The easiest way of keeping your landline number active when switching to a wifi-only provider.  Highly recommended!

I wouldn't consider another provider

Been utilising numberpeople.co.uk reliably for about 3 years across circa 30 phone numbers.  Fees do quite add up some months but still provide value.  Their services are a utility and I wouldn't consider another provider.

First Class Service

Professional, prompt and flexible.  In a crowded market, the Number People really stood out.  Although we've only experienced set up so far, we would unhesitatingly recommend them.
