Telecom & internet providers

Deflect basic tickets before they hit your call center.

OnDuty answers outage FAQs, plan questions and billing basics at scale, while routing complex cases to human support.

Pain points we solve

  • High peaks in calls and chats during outages or billing cycles.
  • Agents repeat the same troubleshooting steps all day.
  • Customers feel nobody is listening when wait times spike.

Outcomes you can expect

  • Customers get clear, instant answers about known issues and basic questions.
  • Simple cases are solved in chat; complex ones reach your team already pre-qualified.
  • Call center load drops, especially during crises.
