While waiting, the caller can listen to music or a marketing message. <\/li><li>Redirection if queue full: If the queue is full, the caller is redirected to a <strong>deterrent voicemail box<\/strong>, inviting him to call back later.<\/li><li>Distribution to an available agent: Once an agent is available, the call leaves the queue and is distributed to the best agent to meet the caller&#8217;s needs.
