A Call Queue is designed to manage high volumes of incoming calls, letting callers listen to Hold Music until it's their turn to be connected to an agent.
Call Queues are not recommended for most businesses and are generally used by Call Centers that have agents dedicated to answering incoming calls. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call Support at (435) 466-2646 option 1.

FAQ
Why might a Call Queue not be right for my business?
- If your business has low call volume or limited staffing, a Call Queue adds unnecessary complexity and may increase your customer's wait times.
- Instead of going to voicemail, your customers will be on hold until there's an available agent and may choose to hang up.
Can I receive assistance to configure a Call Queue to meet my business's needs?
- Of course! Please call our Support Team at (435) 466-2646 option 1, email them at support@mangovoice.com, or schedule a meeting at mangovoice.com/help-desk.
