What is In-Network Calling?

In-network calls are any calls made between 2 or more users in the same phone network. These calls are completely free and do not eat up your plan’s monthly minutes. You can easily access in-network calling through the GCF Softphone. This call feature is convenient for connecting remote teams and collaborating with other users within your business network.

How Does In-Network Calling Work?

This call technology works just like other cloud telephony tools. During an in-network call, your voice breaks down into tiny packets of data. Then, the VoIP service transfers these packets from the sender to the receiver using the internet. This process is often called packet switching or a packet switch network.

How Can Your Business Use In-Network Calling?

From large corporations to small companies, businesses of all sizes benefit from using in-network calling. The feature makes communicating with remote teams or across multiple locations simple and effective. This is also a great tool for cross-functional teams like marketing, product development, and sales departments. Ultimately, in-network calling helps boost teamwork and team communication, regardless of geographical boundaries.

For Global Call Forwarding users:
In the web dialer or softphone, you’ll be able to see all active users in your network, indicated by a green phone icon. You can place these calls by either entering the user’s extension number or clicking on the green call button. And with this feature, it is possible to make 3-way calls with in-network team members using the merge button.
