Four Routing Tools Working Together

IsraelNumber provides four routing mechanisms that work together to ensure every call reaches the right person — at any hour, from any device.

Call Queues

Callers wait in queue in order of arrival with on-hold music. Agents retrieve the next caller by dialing the queue number from their SIP device. Suitable for customer service teams, sales centers, and any environment with multiple agents.

  • Custom on-hold music — upload your own audio for waiting callers
  • Queue position announcements — callers hear their place in line
  • Voicemail fallback — route to voicemail if no agents are available
  • Multi-agent support — any number of agents can pull from the same queue

Ring Groups

Ring multiple extensions simultaneously (Simultaneous) or in sequence (Sequential) — whoever answers first receives the call. You can combine internal SIP extensions and external PSTN numbers in the same group.

Tip: Mix internal SIP extensions with external mobile or landline numbers in the same ring group — useful for teams that work partly outside the office.

Time Conditions

Define routing rules by day of week and time of day. For example: Sunday–Thursday 9:00–18:00 → IVR; outside hours → voicemail; Friday → specific extension. Every setting takes effect immediately.

Dynamic Forwarding — 14 Modes
