Hosted Voice

Get a reliable phone system that's
scalable and easy to manage

Scalable solution

Our service is scalable and can grow with your organization by adding more phones and features, as needed.

Reliable service

Get a dedicated voice connection that guarantees calls will not be impacted by internet traffic.

Manage easily

Update and manage your account set-up and call tree through the Hosted Voice portal. Changes are made easily since service is web-based.

Lower Costs

With no need to purchase or maintain a PBX or your own phone equipment, simplify your bill with no hidden fees and a predictable, flat rate.

Fast and easy install

Choose to use the softphone feature, and there is no need for any phone equipment, making implementation for your business and remote teams fast and easy.

Mobility

Our Mobility applications keep your employees connected to each other and the office by extending access and control of their Hosted Voice desk phones to their laptops and mobile devices.

This secure, remote connection to the office phone allows them the flexibility to work anywhere but still answer calls coming into the company.

Stay current with new features and functionality

Since Hosted Voice is cloud-based, we continually push out new features and functionality.
And since it’s a part of our Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solution, we also have other powerful features, such as:

  • Cloud Contact Center provides greater visibility into call center phone activity through reports and dashboards.

See below for information on our seat structures and list of features.

Three great packages: Essential, Express, and Premium

We have designed feature packages to support different user types and applications to help you meet your company’s specific needs. Select the perfect one for your business.
