Cloud phone service built for insurance agencies

Stop missing calls that turn into policies.

Insurance agencies live on the phone. New quotes, renewals, ID cards, billing questions, claims status, policy changes, certificates of insurance, and agent-to-carrier follow-ups all compete for attention. When calls roll to voicemail, it usually means a lost opportunity or a frustrated customer.

Carolina Digital Phone helps agencies handle calls faster with hosted voice and messaging, smart routing, mobile and desktop apps, call reporting, and an optional AI Agent that can answer common questions and route the right calls to the right person.

If you run an agency, your team’s time is expensive. The goal is not “more phone time.” The goal is faster answers, fewer repeats, cleaner handoffs, and better coverage when your staff is busy or off the clock.

Why insurance agencies struggle to answer calls promptly

Most agencies are not understaffed because they are careless. They are busy. One person is quoting while another is fixing a billing issue, while a third is calling a carrier. Meanwhile, inbound calls keep coming.

Quote calls and service calls collide

The same number receives high-value new business calls and urgent service calls. Without good routing, everything becomes a bottleneck.

Call routing and features

After-hours calls still matter

People call after work. They call when they finally have a moment. If nobody answers, they often move to the next agency.

Work from anywhere

Carrier coordination is time-consuming

Claims status, underwriting questions, and billing issues often take multiple attempts. Call logs, recordings, and good reporting reduce repeat work.

How an AI Agent helps an insurance agency

The best use of AI is simple. Handle the repeat questions, capture the right details, and route the call correctly. Your agents stay focused on selling and advising.

Answer common questions

Office hours, documents needed, payment links, ID cards, “what do I do after an accident,” and other routine questions. If the AI cannot answer, it collects details and routes the call.

Route calls with context

The AI can ask a few short questions and transfer to the right person or ring group: personal lines, commercial, life, claims help, certificates, billing, or the front desk.

Capture after-hours opportunities

After-hours does not have to mean voicemail. The AI can capture name, number, best time to call, the type of policy, and urgency, then notify your team.

Compliance note: call recording and consent rules vary by state. If you enable recording, we recommend you add a short disclosure and confirm your policy with counsel. We can help you set up announcements and call flows that fit your requirements.

Frequently asked questions from insurance agencies

These are the real questions we hear from brokers, producers, and service teams when they are ready to modernize.

Can our agents answer calls on their cell phones without giving out personal numbers?

Yes. Use the mobile app to answer business calls, transfer, place calls with caller ID, and keep work and personal numbers separate.

Can we set up different routing for quotes vs. policy service?

Yes. We can build call menus, ring groups, and schedules so new business calls get priority and service calls still get handled.

What happens when multiple people are already on the phone?

Calls can queue, roll to backups, route by time of day, or offer a call-back option. The goal is fewer missed calls and cleaner handoffs.

Is it hard to switch?

It does not have to be. We plan the cutover, port numbers, stage changes, and test routing so you keep working throughout the transition.

Can your AI Agent handle policy changes?

It can handle the first steps: confirm the caller, gather details, and route the request. Many agencies use AI to reduce interruptions, not replace licensed advice.

How do we keep customer service strong after hours?

Use on-call routing for urgent needs, plus an AI Agent to answer common questions and capture details for next-day follow-up.
