Hello everyone,
We currently have two locations and two toll free numbers, but all calls come into one location.
The desire is to break it up so that one of the 800 numbers goes to the other location plus some smart routing.
What I'm looking for is if a call comes into 8001234567, the call should be greeted by a digital receptionist that says "thanks for calling, if you know your parties extension dial it now or stay on the line and you will be routed to your account manager based on your area code - you may also press zero for assistance." If they don't dial an extension (or press zero), the CID should be checked to see what area code they are calling from. The area code is matched up to a call queue or ring group for the sales people that are responsible for that area and the call goes directly to the account manager that is responsible for that area code.
We have the country broken up into six sections, so I need to find out a way to set up a rule for (hopefully) each area (if area code = 801,435,385, etc) then area = 1 and route to the area 1 queue. I hope that I do not have to set up a separate rule for every area code in the whole country.
I have set up six ring groups with the appropriate agents extensions in them, but I'm not sure how to process the incoming calls to figure out what number they are calling and also what area code they are calling from. If caller ID is blocked, then I think that I'll just create a ring group that rings all the agents at once.
In psudo code I see it going like this:
Can anyone help with getting this set up?

Code:
If inbound # = 8001234567 Then
Digital Receptionist
If 0 pressed then
forward to receptionist
else if ext dialed then
forward to ext
else if nothing dialed then
determine area code then
forward to appropriate ring group
end if
End If
