Corporate PINless dialing IVR

Corporate PINless dialing functionality will allow you to provide enterprise customers with PINless dialing service. It is useful for companies where multiple individuals place outgoing calls using the same caller number (typically from a company’s main phone line). In this case, a user enters an additional authorization code to correctly identify himself so that calls can be properly authorized against individual accounts and be presented, later, on a combined invoice.
