Call Stacking

Never miss an incoming call again.

Call stacking queues your incoming business calls so that your callers wait on hold until your team is available to answer. Our industry leading queuing system ensures that you can manage multiple calls at once without ever having to worry about unwanted busy signals.

Benefits of Call Stacking

It’s time to ditch your old-school phone system.

Receive Multiple Calls at Once

Receive Multiple Calls at Once

Call Stacking allows you to receive multiple calls at the same time, even if you run your business from a single phone.

Your callers will wait on hold until your phone becomes available to receive the next call. Now you no longer need multiple lines to receive multiple calls!

Music on Hold & Promotions

Music on Hold & Promotions

Hold music is a great way to help keep your callers waiting on hold and also make your business sound more professional. Talkroute comes with a library of music on hold options to choose from and you can always upload your own.

While music on hold is great, adding a custom hold message may be even better. You can upload or record a message that your callers will hear while they are waiting on hold. This is an excellent way to share your most recent company promotion!


Alternative Destinations

Alternative Destinations

You can set a maximum amount of time that your callers will remain on hold before sending them to an alternative destination.

If your callers remain on hold beyond the maximum defined hold duration, you can establish an alternative destination such as a list of menu of options to choose from or a voice mailbox.

Call Stacking FAQ


Talkroute’s call stacking is a unique technology that is typically only available with expensive enterprise-level phone systems. Other competing services without this feature will forward a call to a device (cellular, home, or office) but once the allotted number of “rings” has been reached, the call is disconnected.

Talkroute allows users to have multiple callers on hold at any given time. These callers are forwarded to your device(s) in the order the calls were received by your phone system. While your callers are on hold, they may listen to hold music or a custom message that you recorded or uploaded. If your callers are being forwarded to multiple devices, the devices that are not currently in use will begin to receive the next caller in line.

You may further specify the maximum hold duration, time between connection attempts, and call destination if the hold duration is exceeded.

Call stacking is already active with your Talkroute service. There is nothing you need to do other than specify what you want callers to hear while they are on hold, maximum hold duration, time between connection attempts, and call destination if the hold duration is exceeded.

There are no limits to how many calls you can receive at once as long as your usage complies with our reasonable use policy. If you are concerned that your usage might be outside of what is covered by our RUP, please feel free to request a high usage quote.

Yes! Talkroute includes a library of music on hold files to choose from or you may record or upload your own.

All of your Talkroute phone numbers, menu options, and extensions each have their own unique call stacking queues. These queues will stack callers in the order that they entered the queue and will route the calls based on the rules you have specified.

Yes! All Talkroute plans include our call stacking feature.
