Benefits of Registering a 1900 Hotline and How to Register Easily

Reading time: 4 minutes

Many businesses have heard of the 1900 hotline, but may not yet be aware of the benefits and advantages it offers. Simply put, a 1900 hotline serves as a customer service call center for businesses. The 1900 prefix allows businesses to receive incoming calls while charging callers at a set rate per minute. It is widely used due to its high practicality, effectiveness, and cost efficiency.

Typical users include businesses with needs in consulting and customer care, across sectors such as: overseas study consulting, travel, visa processing, healthcare, and more.

Advantages of the 1900 Hotline

Easy and Flexible Connectivity

The 1900 hotline operates seamlessly when connected to the internet via an IP phone, or by installing the service on a PC, laptop, or smartphone with an internet connection.

It can be used anywhere, with no concern about changing physical locations. As a result, when relocating an office or opening new branches, the existing hotline system remains unchanged.

When customers call in, they can press options to connect with different departments or branches. For example: Press 1 for Ho Chi Minh City branch, Press 2 for Hanoi branch, Press 3 for Da Nang branch, etc.  

Cost Savings

The 1900 hotline helps reduce deployment costs and can optimize monthly call costs by nearly 50%. Additionally, when customers call in, the business registered with the prefix receives a share of the call revenue. It also minimizes spam calls and is not dependent on area codes.

Furthermore, businesses save on promotional costs for their contact numbers. Instead of maintaining multiple hotline numbers, the 1900 prefix is shorter and far easier for customers to remember.

Unlimited Simultaneous Calls

The hotline can handle one or multiple calls at the same time. If a line is busy, the caller is promptly notified, the call is forwarded to an available agent’s number, or the customer is prompted to leave a voice message.

Monitoring and Reporting

All detailed information and call recordings are stored in the system, with easy retrieval through simple filter fields. Businesses can conveniently monitor activity through the reporting feature and export files in Excel format, among others.

How to Register?

The registration requirements are straightforward:

• Register a 1900xxx prefix with a suitable network carrier.
• A virtual PBX (switchboard) is required to activate the prefix.

Step 3: To speed up the deployment process, prepare in advance: a greeting message, call scripts, and guidance prompts for incoming callers, as well as a call routing scenario and a stable internet connection. Once installation is complete, OMICall staff will guide you through using the hotline system.
