English term or phrase: phone tag
Existe-t-il un terme pour ces appels allez-retour où l´interlocuteur n´est pas là et où on ne fait que laisser un message ?

Voici la phrase :
Eliminate the inefficiencies and errors that result from manual processes, such as time lost on error correction, phone tag and correcting inaccurate data.

Merci.
