VoIP & Hosted Telephony
A phone system that follows the people, not the desks
Keep your numbers. Lose the cupboard full of hardware. Take calls at a desk, on a laptop, on a mobile or inside Microsoft Teams — with routing you can change yourself.
Still on ISDN or analogue lines?
The traditional telephone network is being retired, and the services running over it are being withdrawn. Moving to hosted telephony is the route almost everyone takes — and it is considerably less stressful done deliberately than done urgently.
What you get
The features people actually use
Hosted phone systems come with enormous feature lists. These are the parts that change how a working day feels.
Call routing you can edit yourself
Hunt groups, ring order, out-of-hours behaviour and holiday routing, changed through a portal rather than by raising a ticket and waiting.
One number, wherever you are
Desk phone, desktop app and mobile app all ring together. Pick a call up on the mobile, walk to your desk, carry on.
Microsoft Teams calling
Make and take external calls from Teams, keeping your existing numbers and routing. One fewer application for people to learn.
Reporting that answers real questions
How many calls did we miss, at what times, and on which numbers. Enough to make a staffing decision with.
Voicemail that arrives as email
Messages land in the inbox as audio with a transcript, so they get dealt with instead of sitting on a handset flashing.
Failover that works without you
If the line drops, inbound calls divert automatically to mobiles or voicemail by a rule you set in advance.
Changing over
Nobody loses a call
The part that worries people is the switchover. It is also the part we have done most often.

We check your connectivity is up to carrying voice, and list every number, extension and routing rule you currently have — including the ones nobody remembers setting up.

Your new system is configured and tested in parallel while the old one carries on running. Handsets and apps are provisioned in advance.

Port
Numbers transfer on an agreed date. Calls to your existing numbers keep arriving throughout; the switchover itself is a matter of minutes.
