Cloud phone systems for Manchester VoIP phone systems.
Hosted VoIP and cloud phone systems engineered for the way Manchester businesses actually take calls — desk, mobile, home office, multiple sites. One platform, one bill, one UK support team.
What we hear from Manchester businesses every week.
The frustrations behind why Manchester businesses search for VoIP phone systems in the first place. If any of these feel familiar, the fix is straightforward.
ISDN switch-off looming
BT is switching off ISDN in 2027 — every Manchester business on the old copper network has to move. Sooner is easier and cheaper than a forced last-minute migration.
Hybrid teams stuck on separate systems
Office staff on a desk phone, home workers on personal mobiles, field staff on Teams — calls dropped, voicemails missed, no consistent caller ID. Hosted VoIP unifies the lot.
Multi-site call routing nightmares
Manchester businesses with multiple sites typically run separate phone systems at each. Calls can't transfer between sites, hold music doesn't match, and you pay separate bills. Cloud VoIP fixes all three.
No call recording or analytics
Older phone systems offer little visibility — no call recording for training and compliance, no analytics on missed calls, no way to see what's actually happening on the phones. VoIP gives all of this as standard.
Hosted VoIP for Manchester, properly engineered
BT's old ISDN copper network is being switched off in 2027 — every UK business that hasn't already moved to VoIP will have to. The good news is that hosted VoIP done properly is genuinely better than what came before: cheaper line rental, free calls between sites, desk-phone-and-mobile-app on the same number, call recording out of the box, and seamless multi-site working. The bad news is that done badly — under-spec'd broadband, no QoS, consumer-grade kit — VoIP sounds terrible. We do it properly: full network design, business-grade circuits, QoS configured, kit that works, and Manchester city centre and Salford Quays-based engineers if something goes wrong.
The Telexico approach to VoIP phone systems in Manchester.
Six things our Manchester customers consistently tell us matter.
Desk phone plus mobile app
One number, multiple devices — your Manchester team can answer on desk, mobile or laptop with consistent caller ID and call history.
Multi-site as standard
Free calls between all your Greater Manchester offices, unified hunt groups, shared voicemail — all built into the platform.
Call recording and analytics
Record calls for training, compliance and dispute resolution; full dashboards on call volumes, wait times and missed calls.
Keep your existing numbers
We port your existing Greater Manchester phone numbers over — no need to reprint stationery, update Google or rebrand.
UK-based install and support
Manchester city centre and Salford Quays-based engineers for install, configuration, training and break-fix. No offshore support queues.
Lower running costs
Free intra-business calls, cheaper UK and international rates, no expensive ISDN line rentals — most Manchester businesses cut their phone bill 30-50%.
Built around your business
Phones built around how Manchester businesses actually work.
Phone systems aren't one-size-fits-all. A Spinningfields legal practice has different needs from a Greater Manchester contact centre or a single-engineer trade business. We design around your team structure, your call volumes, your hybrid pattern, your industry compliance needs. Manchester businesses run on speed — agencies in the Northern Quarter, tech firms in Spinningfields, broadcasters at MediaCityUK. Hybrid working makes consistent connectivity across home and office non-negotiable, and the city-centre office stock ranges from Grade A glass towers to converted Victorian warehouses, each with its own infrastructure quirks.
How it works for Manchester businesses like yours.
Three real-world setups we deliver across Greater Manchester.
Multi-site Greater Manchester firms
Head office in Spinningfields, satellite offices across the region — one phone system, one number plan, free internal calls between every site.
Hybrid Manchester teams
Desk phones in the office, softphone apps on staff laptops at home, mobile apps for field staff — same extension, same caller ID, one ring group.
Manchester contact centres
Inbound contact centres with hunt groups, call queues, IVR menus, wallboards and live reporting — at a fraction of the cost of legacy contact-centre platforms.

UK-based provider
Wolverhampton-headquartered. Engineers cover the West Midlands daily; UK-wide install via our partner network. Real UK engineer support, UK data residency, UK contractual relationship — not US-routed SaaS.

Frequently asked questions
Will VoIP work over my existing broadband in Manchester?
Maybe — depends on the broadband. Consumer-grade FTTC with no QoS is risky. Business-grade fibre with QoS configured is fine. We assess your broadband as part of the VoIP design and either confirm it'll cope or upgrade it. We won't sell you VoIP that's going to sound bad.
Can I keep my existing Greater Manchester phone numbers?
Yes. Number porting is a standard part of any VoIP migration — your existing numbers transfer to the cloud platform and continue to work exactly as before. Porting typically takes 2-4 weeks; we'll keep the old line live during the transition so there's no downtime.
What happens to phones if the internet goes down?
With proper failover — 4G/5G backup or a secondary circuit — phones keep working through internet outages. Without failover, VoIP calls would drop. We design failover into any Manchester install where uptime matters, and we can route inbound calls to mobiles automatically during an outage.
Do you supply the desk phones or do I buy them separately?
Either. We supply Yealink, Polycom and Cisco desk phones with our installs — fully configured plug-and-play. Or if you already have compatible IP phones we'll provision them onto our platform. Most Manchester customers take the bundled hardware route for simplicity.
How long does it take to install VoIP in a Manchester office?
Typically 2-6 weeks from order to go-live, depending on number porting timescales and any broadband upgrade needed. Small installs (1-10 users on existing broadband) can be live in 2 weeks. Larger multi-site installs run 4-6 weeks.
Can I use VoIP with Microsoft Teams?
Yes — Microsoft Teams Calling is a popular option for Manchester businesses already standardised on Teams. We provide direct routing so you get a proper UK PSTN dial plan inside Teams, without the cost of Microsoft Calling Plans. Best of both worlds.
What about compliance and call recording?
Call recording is built in — selective or full, with encrypted storage and configurable retention periods. Important for regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, legal) and useful for training and dispute resolution across most Manchester businesses. PCI-DSS-compliant pause-and-resume for card capture is available.
