Jet’s geographic call routing ensures that your customers speak to the right agent without being put on hold and bounced around between different departments and staff members. With our fully integrated solution, this can be achieved for all calls, or only selected call types, reasons or certain locations.

Routing to suit your needs
Automatic Geographic Routing vs IVR Geo Routing
There are two distinct ways to geo divert calls. One is Automatic Geo Routing and the other is IVR Geo Routing. As they are distinct methods we will explain them both so you know the best one that suits your business
What is Automatic Geographic Routing?
Automatic Geo Routing is when the caller’s location is solely determined by Jet’s telecommunications network. Mobile location information (Moli) from mobile towers and Caller Line Identification (CLI) for fixed line callers is used to designate location. Examples of Automatic Geo Routing are:
- SZU - major cities and towns
- District - larger areas within states covering multiple towns and cities
- States
- Countries
What is IVR Geographic Routing?
IVR Geo Routing is where the geography of the caller is determined by the information in an IVR. Examples of IVR Geo Routing are:
- Postcode - Using designated Australia Post Code tables
- State - select the state
- Nearest Store - select store via prompts
