Hosted PBX Telephone System

United Voice Cloud – Quick, Feature Rich, Easy to Deploy B2B Telephone System

United Voice Cloud by United Telecoms is an industry-leading virtual cloud-based business telephony system. By aggregating multiple PBX phone systems into one highly specified centralised PBX switchboard in the cloud, United Telecoms is able to provide our customers with high-end PBX switchboard functionality at a largely reduced cost.

A Hosted PBX Telephone System is a telephony solution where the hardware, which is the equipment acting as the “brains” of the PBX phone system, is moved from an office’s physical premises to a cloud-hosted PBX environment in a data center, and managed by a service provider. The system is suitable for companies of all sizes, offering the same benefits to single users and corporates with 1000+ users.

Our United Voice Cloud hosted solution combines all the benefits of the leading hosted PBX features found in a modern VoIP – Cloud PBX System.

Most businesses consider changing to a cloud-hosted telephone system for one or more of these attractive features:

• Month-to-month contract
• 30% – 75% reductions on your monthly phone bill
• Cutting-edge PBX telephony features
• Simple setup, easy to customise, quick to deploy
• Real-time online telephone management system for reporting
• Industry-leading after-sales service
• Mobility – take your office anywhere in the world

Advantages of a Cloud Hosted PABX Phone System

• Instant setup – hosted PBX systems can be deployed remotely in a matter of days and require little to no in-house training.
• Cost and space-saving – no switchboard unit or other hardware associated with a traditional on-site PBX telephone system.
• Instant upscaling or downscaling – user numbers and costs of a hosted PBX system can be adjusted online.
• Feature-rich solutions – select, arrange and customise the features that your business needs.
• Online Telephone Management System – take control of your business’ communications solution. View your monthly costs online, in real-time, and assess call trends between staff members and different departments.
• Indefinite lifespan – no need to enter into a hardware upgrade cycle, as the online technology is regularly and automatically updated to reflect current software releases.
• Inbuilt call recording – ideal for training and monitoring, all incoming and outgoing calls can be monitored in real-time, recorded and stored.
• Redundancy – highly resilient data centers house the hosted virtualised solutions, meaning that your telephone systems will not be impacted by power outages or natural disasters at your business premises.
• Never lose your telephone number again – keep your existing telephone number(s), and maintain communications with existing customers, no matter how often you move, or where you move to.
• Pure per second outbound voice calling – save money on your call costs and pay for your true usage.

What to Consider when Assessing a Hosted PBX Telephone System

• Connectivity and associated costs – without a strong, reliable internet connection, the cloud PBX solution will present with poor voice quality. It is therefore imperative that businesses either already have access to a robust internet connection on their premises, or evaluate the associated costs of suitable connectivity when planning a hosted PBX solution.
• Ownership – ownership of the hosted PBX lies with the supplier. In most cases, ownership will never pass to the end-user, who is merely subscribing to this system.
• Failover option – if no broadband internet failover option is provided for, i.e. a secondary or redundant internet connection, any loss in the core connectivity to the hosted PBX will result in users being unable to access the solution.
