Knowing who can make and receive calls in a business setting is important for security and cost efficiency. Call barring allows users to conveniently manage that capability by disabling certain calls, such as unnecessary international calls and premium rate calls.
What Is Call Barring?
Call barring is a reassuring tool that allows your business to regulate outgoing and incoming calls by banning specific phone numbers. It prevents unwanted international calls, blocks access to premium-rate numbers, and manages who can call from your office line. At Com2 Communications, we will help you set call limitations and secure your communication networks effectively. Call barring allows you to improve phone security, reduce unnecessary expenses, and control your phone network completely.
