After the choose the client is connected with live agent or transferred to next queue and have to choose one more option before connecting an agent.
Skill Based Routing system
Calls are divided by Skill Based Routing system. When people calling to Lietuvos Pastas IVR system have to choose the purpose of their call based on the problem they have.
