Chat: A quick and easy way for customers to connect

Published on

Not every customer wants to pick up the phone. Some prefer messaging over talking, while others may be in a meeting or a noisy environment where calling isn’t convenient. With Telia Smart Connect’s chat feature, businesses can offer a flexible and accessible way for customers to reach them—without the need for a phone call.

Key features

  • Customizable chat widget – Match the chat interface to your brand for a seamless experience.
  • Real-time responsiveness – Engage with customers instantly and resolve inquiries efficiently.
  • Scheduled availability – Set operating hours and automated responses for when no one is available.
  • Secure and reliable – Built with industry-standard security to keep conversations private.

The use cases of the chat feature

The chat feature isn’t just an alternative to phone calls—it provides practical benefits in various situations:

  • When speaking isn’t an option – Customers in meetings, shared workspaces, or public places may not be able to take a call but can easily send a quick message.
  • For those who prefer texting – Some people simply feel more comfortable writing than talking and are more likely to reach out if chat is an option.
  • Easier information sharing – Sending details like order numbers, addresses, or links is often more convenient in a chat than trying to relay them verbally.
