What is a VoIP system?

A very clever telephone system...

VoIP can integrate different offices, home workers and remote workers. That provides a simple to use online management interface so you can set-up menues, different actions depending on the time of day, and many more features you'd expect like Voicemails & Faxes being sent straight to your email! It all works through your internet connection and there's no need to wait for a costly engineer to come and get you up and running.

The VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system that we use is UK based and uses "least cost routing" which brings you exceptional value services. This includes making international calls from as little as 2p a minute because it's sent overseas through the internet before getting connected to the local telephone network.

It's packed full of features which you can manage online anytime from anywhere. Or we can get you set-up and running and help if you ever need something set-up but forgot to do it before you got out to the countryside for a break without internet.

Our top features?

Time based routing - Automatically switch off at the end of a business day, set your phone to ring an emergency out of hours number, or even give custom messages about when you'll next be open. Great if you want to switch off.
Custom Menus - Get your caller to the right place quicker by offering options for them to dial 1 for sales, 2 for support and much much more! Custom menus adds refinement to your customer service.
Voicemails to email - wherever you are; get an email with voicemails attached
Follows - Set it up so that your incoming number rings multiple mobile phones or other numbers simultaneously when everyone is out of the office - with the first to answer taking the call
Hold music - Get your own message to the customer whilst they're on hold - or treat them to some chilled out music
FREE calls between sites - any extension can call any other extension for no cost - Great for globally distributed teams, or just those working from home who want to check in
Fully customisable call groups & queues - Include the right team members for the right incoming calls - no longer have a need to run to the other end of the office to answer a ringing phone - bring your team collaboration to your phones

The best thing? All of these features are free and you can manage them anytime online.

More features to use

Fax to email - Some places still insist on sending you a fax to confirm things. With this low cost feature you'll get a PDF straight to your email*

How much does it cost?

From just £10 a month

For just £10 a month you can have your own telephone number (geographic or non-geographic like 0330 numbers) which forwards on to any other number you might have or simply to a voicemail box which then gets emailed to you - perfect for freelancers and businesses out on the road too.

You can then add extensions - for physical phones or 'softphones' which work off your computer or existing smartphone, call queues, menus, groups and much more. You can access the full functionality of your management interface without extra costs, just buying key features as listed below.

Build your own package

Working off the base £10 a month you can then add the following:

Extension - £2.50
Extra incoming number - £2
Fax Machine (emailed to you) with dedicated telephone number - £4.50
Conference room - £5
