Your Phone Number Should Follow the Person, Not the Desk

Cloud phone systems cost less than the PBX in your closet and do considerably more — provided the network underneath them is built for voice. That second part is where most VoIP deployments disappoint.

The comparison

What You're Actually Replacing

A traditional PBX isn't broken — it's just expensive to maintain, invisible to manage, and tied to a building your team may not sit in any more.

On-premises PBX
Hardware in a closet
CostCapital purchase, then maintenance contracts and licences
ChangesA service call to add an extension or change a menu
Remote workCall forwarding at best; the desk phone stays at the desk
FailureA hardware fault takes the whole phone system down
LifespanSupported until the vendor decides otherwise
Cloud telephony
Managed platform, per user
CostMonthly per user — predictable, and scales down as well as up
ChangesSelf-service or a call to us; effective immediately
Remote workSame extension on desk phone, laptop, and mobile

What's included

Features That Used to Cost Extra

On a traditional PBX, most of these were licensed add-ons or simply unavailable. On a cloud platform they're configuration.

Auto attendant and IVR

Menus and routing you can change yourself, including different greetings for holidays and after hours.

Call queues and hunt groups

Distribute calls across a team by availability, skill, or round robin — so callers stop hitting voicemail at 9am.

Softphone and mobile apps

The same extension on a laptop or phone, so a hybrid team has one number and one voicemail rather than three.

Voicemail to email

Messages transcribed and delivered to the inbox, which people actually check — unlike a message-waiting light.

Call recording

For training, dispute resolution, or compliance where your sector requires it, with retention you control.

Reporting and analytics

Volumes, wait times, abandoned calls, and per-agent activity — the data a service desk or sales team should be managing to.

Presence and internal chat

See who's on a call before transferring, and message colleagues in the same app as the phone.

Video meetings

Included on most plans, which for many businesses removes a separate conferencing subscription entirely.

CRM integration

Click to dial and screen pops from your CRM, so the call and the record are in one place rather than two.

Why VoIP deployments disappoint

The Platform Is Rarely the Problem. The Network Is.

When people say VoIP sounded bad, they almost never mean the provider was at fault. Voice is unforgiving about jitter and packet loss in a way that email and file transfer simply aren't — a connection that feels fine for browsing can be unusable for calls.

We assess the network before quoting, and if it needs work we tell you that up front rather than deploying and blaming the internet afterwards.

What we check before quoting
Uplink capacity and contention
Voice needs modest bandwidth but consistent bandwidth. A connection shared with cloud backups will drop calls at the wrong moment.
Jitter and packet loss
We measure them over time rather than at one instant — intermittent loss is what makes calls sound bad, and it hides from a single speed test.
Quality of service configuration
Voice traffic prioritised on the switch and firewall, so a large file transfer doesn't degrade a customer call.
Power over Ethernet capacity
Desk phones draw power from the switch. Adding thirty handsets to a switch without headroom causes intermittent, baffling faults.
Failover path
What happens when the primary connection drops — LTE backup, or calls rerouting to mobiles automatically.
Switching over

You Keep Your Numbers, and Callers Barely Notice

Number porting is the part clients worry about most. It's a regulated process with a real timeline — which is why we run the old and new systems in parallel rather than cutting over and hoping.

1

Assess and design

Network assessment, extension mapping, and call flow design based on how calls actually move through your business today.

Week 1
2

Build in parallel

The new system is configured and tested on temporary numbers while your existing lines carry on untouched.

Weeks 2–3
3

Port the numbers

We submit the port and manage the carrier process. Your old lines stay live throughout — nothing is disconnected on faith.

Carrier timeline
4

Cut over and train

Traffic moves to the new platform and we train your team on the handsets, apps, and how to change things themselves.

Cutover day

Porting timelines are set by the carriers, not by us. We'll give you the realistic window and keep your old lines live until the port completes.

The part nobody asks about

911 Works Differently on a Cloud Phone

A traditional line is tied to an address. A cloud extension can be answered anywhere, so the system has to be told where each device actually is — and updated when people move.

In Canada this matters more since the move to next-generation 911. We configure emergency location per device, and we'll flag the ongoing obligation rather than leaving it as a surprise after an incident.

Location per device, not per account

Each handset and softphone is registered to a civic address so emergency services are dispatched to the right place.

Updated when people move

A desk move or a new office changes the registration. We build that into the change process rather than hoping someone remembers.

Remote workers acknowledged

Staff calling 911 from a softphone at home need their own address registered — or to be told to use their mobile instead.

Documented for your records

The configuration is written down, which matters if the question is ever asked after an incident.

Questions, answered

Cloud Telephony FAQs

Can we keep our existing phone numbers?

Yes — number porting is a standard regulated process and we manage it with the carriers. The important detail is that your old lines stay active until the port completes, so there's no window where calls go nowhere. Timelines are set by the carriers rather than us, and we'll give you the realistic window up front.

Will call quality be worse than our current phones?

Not if the network is right, and that's the whole reason we assess it before quoting. Voice is sensitive to jitter and packet loss in a way browsing isn't, so a connection that feels fine can still carry poor calls. If your network needs work we'd rather tell you before deployment than after.

What happens if our internet goes down?

Calls reroute automatically to mobiles or another site, so you're reachable even with the office offline. That's genuinely better than a traditional PBX, where a fault at the building takes the phone system with it. We configure the failover path as part of the design.

How does 911 work with a cloud phone system?

Each device is registered to a physical address, because an extension can be answered anywhere. That registration has to be maintained when people or offices move — we build it into the change process and document the configuration, since it's the detail most providers leave unmentioned.

Do we need to buy new handsets?

Often not — many existing IP phones can be reprovisioned onto the new platform, and we'll check yours before assuming otherwise. Where handsets are genuinely too old, we'll tell you which need replacing and why rather than replacing the lot by default.

Is it actually cheaper than our PBX?

Usually, once you count maintenance contracts, licences, line rental, and the service calls for changes. But it's per user, so a business with many low-usage extensions should look at the total rather than assuming. We'll model it against your current bills instead of quoting a generic saving.

Can it work across several offices?

That's where it's strongest — one system, one dial plan, internal extensions between sites at no per-call cost, and a single place to manage it all. It also means a new location is a configuration change rather than another phone system to buy.
