Virtual Number Feature

IVR Menu on Your Number

An IVR menu answers the call and offers the caller options, so a single published number can serve several departments without a receptionist. Flows are built, previewed and published as separate steps, and can be placed on a genuine test call first - so a broken menu is something you catch rather than something a customer reports.

What IVR Menu gives you

Answer with a menu so callers reach the right person themselves, tested on a real call before it goes live.

One number, several destinations

Publish a single number and let callers select the department they need.

Publishing is deliberate

Edit a flow without the edit being live, then publish when it is ready.

Test on a real call

Hear the flow exactly as a caller will before anyone else does.

Voicemail rather than dead air

A flow can end in voicemail when nobody is available.

See where callers drop

Call logs show the paths callers actually take through the menu.

How IVR Menu works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Build the menu flow and its options.

  2. 2

    Upload your prompt audio, or preview generated prompts.

  3. 3

    Run a test call and listen to the whole flow.

  4. 4

    Publish the flow.

  5. 5

    Assign it to the number that should answer with it.

What IVR Menu does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • This is a keypad menu. If you want callers to say what they need in their own words, that is a conversational voice agent - a different product.
  • Long menus lose callers. Menu depth is a design problem the tool cannot solve for you.

Are DID numbers cheap?

A DID (direct inward dialing) number is simply a phone number that rings your system directly, and on Edesy every virtual number works that way. Indian DIDs start at Rs 449/month for a landline number with no setup fee, and calls are billed per minute. Very cheap DID offers often leave out KYC compliance, call quality or support, which matters if the number is customer-facing.
