Phone sitting

Phone sitting

Phone sitting means that you let another company manage your phone. Maybe you’re on vacation or in a conference but your customers are still answered by someone telling them you’re away and for how long.

A phone sitting service can be designed in many different ways. It’s common to have it connect whenever you need it, and it works similar to an operator or secretary. You notify of your leave in a way that’s easiest for you that you’re agreed on.

Technically it’s managed in different ways, but it’s most commonly done over internet where you inform the phone sitter of and that you’re going somewhere and when you’ll be back. This may be done by e-mail or button clicks on the phone depending on what’s easiest for you who want to buy the service.
