Time to Switch your Business Phone Provider?

Have you been getting too many calls dropout? Not having basic features set up correctly? Still having to dial 9 to make a call? Hours on end ringing & messaging support with no result? It might be time to look for a new communication provider.

Sometimes it best to find out how long is left on your contract and get looking for a new provider, one that has all the features, and you need, at a better price with excellent support.

What to look for when switching?

Remote Working Capabilities

With everything that happened with the pandemic and employees and employers preferring the hybrid approach to working, its important that users can still make and take calls when they’re on the go. This is where communicator apps come into place, with access to your desk phone from your computer and mobile (personal or work) allowing users always to reach wherever they are.

Pricing

Generally, pricing for phones when you first got into your contact were high but with technology advancing so much the costs for the very best phones and features have decreased significantly, you will find by getting a simple quote, how much you can save on your business’ phone system.

Features

Before, the good business phone features were always an add on price but with VoIP, your phones are filled with features all included in your one price per user. Some of our favourite features are:

  • Voicemail to Email
  • Video conferencing from your phone
  • Auto Attendant
  • Call Recording and Reporting
  • Custom On Hold Messages and Music

State of the Art Handsets

We are a bit biased on this but, Yealink have the best selection of handsets with different models and makes to suit the size of your business and the industry you are in, with corded and cordless phone available and the ability to download your favourite apps on the higher end models, it’s a no brainer to pick a provider who can supply you with the very best handsets available on the market, jam packed with features.

Still using analogue lines? (PSTN switch off)

With the switch off looming closer, your old phone lines will be switch off and will now rely on your broadband for voice communication. The deadline for every business and home to be prepared is 2025. Now you might think this is far away and you don’t need to worry, but its best to switch now before prices increase and availability becomes scarce, closer to the switch off.

Reviews

We know having a fancy new removable tablet phone might sound and look great when you see them on adverts, but what you really need to investigate is the companies’ offering these products and their online reviews. We always suggest looking through 2 review aggregators to get a truthful answer but anything below 4 stars will always be a miss to us. You will find out so much about a provider and how they treat their customers from real accounts reviews.
