How do I use a call queue in a dial plan?

    Add a call queue into a dial plan to enhance the caller's experience and better manage the incoming call volume.
    Note: There is a new version of this visual dial plan editor in GoTo Admin with many new and improved features! Even if your account uses PBX Administration (classic) you can still use the new and improved dial plan editor by signing in with your admin credentials at https://admin.goto.com and selecting Phone system > Dial plans.
