Every kind of business phone system in Trades, on one page.
Searches for cloud PBX, hosted VoIP, business VoIP, office and small-business phone systems in Trades all lead to the same modern set-up: calls carried over your internet connection, managed in the cloud, answered on a desk phone, a laptop or the Telexico Mobile App. Here is what each term means and when it fits.
Cloud PBX in Trades
The phone system itself lives in a UK data centre instead of a box on your wall. Nothing to maintain on site, new users added in minutes, and the same system follows you if you move premises in Trades.
Hosted VoIP and business VoIP in Trades
What most Trades businesses are really asking for: calls carried over your internet connection, with desk phones, desktop apps and the Telexico Mobile App on one business number, and queues, voicemail-to-email and call recording included. Quality depends on the broadband underneath, so we check the line before we quote the phones.
Small business phone systems in Trades
Two to twenty users: a welcome message, a ring group and the mobile app, priced per user per month, with most installs done without an engineer visit.
Office and multi-site phone systems in Trades
Larger teams and several sites: departments, IVR menus, wallboards, call recording for compliance and one directory across every location, so a Trades office and branches elsewhere run as one system.
SIP trunks in Trades
If you already own a PBX you like, SIP trunks replace the ISDN lines underneath it and cut the line rental. If you do not, a hosted system is usually simpler than keeping the old box alive.
Business telephone systems and the switch-off
Traditional telephone systems in Trades on analogue or ISDN lines need to move before the PSTN switch-off. We port your numbers, run the new system alongside the old one and cut over when you are ready.
