Phone Issues & Escalation Process

Phone issues can be especially time-sensitive, and our goal is to restore proper call handling as quickly as possible. Because phone systems involve multiple routing rules, devices, and forwarding paths, we rely on specific details to accurately diagnose the issue.

How We Investigate Phone & Call Routing Issues

This article explains what information we may request, why it’s important, and what happens next.


Why We Ask for Specific Phone Details

Phone issues can vary based on:

  • Which phone number is affected

  • How calls are routed or forwarded

  • Whether calls are answered on desktop or mobile

  • The intended call flow versus the current behavior

Providing exact details helps us trace the call path and identify where the breakdown is occurring.


Information We May Request

1. Phone Number & Call Routing Details

To investigate the issue, we may ask for:

  • Phone number(s) affected

  • Who the call should ring (specific user, multiple users, or a location)

  • How the call should be answered: VOIP or Forward

  • If VOIP: Mobile or Desktop

  • If Forward: Call forwarding destination


2. Example Callers or Contacts

We may ask for example callers or contacts affected by the issue, including:

  • Caller or contact name (if known)

  • Phone number used

  • Approximate date and time of the call

These examples allow us to review call behavior and routing in real scenarios.


What Happens After You Provide This Information

Once we receive the requested details:

  1. Our support team reviews your phone configuration

  2. The issue is escalated to our phone support specialists

  3. Call routing and system behavior are analyzed

  4. We keep you informed of findings and next steps

High-priority phone issues are escalated quickly to minimize disruption to your practice.


How You Can Help Us Resolve Phone Issues Faster

  • Provide exact phone numbers involved

  • Share real examples of missed or misrouted calls

  • Include forwarding destinations if applicable

The more complete the information, the faster we can identify and resolve the issue.
