    Always ensure that network is delivered in ring networks to minimize the loss of call traffic.Next ensure that each point of network must have enough arrangement of circuits for call routing and transfer to other points.Always have switching and routing acceptance Testing for each and every number series block service providers wise.Have more and more POIs with Service providers to ensure customer gets connected call from everywhere. Ensure proper RAN configuration is working at every point to enable more signal latching and helps to avoid the loss.

    It's crucial to keep your cool and remain poised. Keep in mind that the tone of the conversation is established by your response. Technical problems, such as a call routing fault, can quickly cause anxiety in both you and the consumer. Breathe deeply and concentrate on the solution instead of the issue. The customer's annoyance may be lessened by your infectious composure.

    Ensure the call routing system is set up correctly and regularly updated.This includes reviewing the IVR menu to direct calls based on customer needs and training agents to transfer customers efficiently.AI-powered chatbots or virtual assistants can also guide customers before they even make a call,gathering key information and routing them to the right department.If misrouting occurs, the AI can quickly detect and fix the error. Next step,use geolocation data to route calls to the most relevant local team or office.This ensures customers are connected to the team best suited to handle their issue, especially for businesses with multiple locations.Combining AI with geolocation can significantly reduce misrouted calls.

    Limit the number of personnel who can make routing/translations changes to experts only. Establish Fixed Hierarchical or Dynamic Routing architectures that will maximize routing options to destination.
