inbound calls

Calls coming in

Inbound calls are telephone calls received by a business or call center, as opposed to outbound calls made to customers.

The term appears most often in customer service and sales contexts: Our team handles over 500 inbound calls per day.

Inbound call volume typically spikes after marketing campaigns or product issues.
