There are more ways than ever to communicate, but for businesses, phones are still vital. Whether you’re talking to customers, suppliers or colleagues, phone calls help you get things done fast and with less chance of misunderstandings.
But what’s even better are cloud-based phone systems, like Wholesale Hosted Communications (WHC). It gives you all the usual features of a traditional phone line, but because your calls are carried over the internet, you also get the added benefits of cloud technology – including greater flexibility and lower costs.
So if you want your phone system to deliver maximum value for your business, try WHC. WHC is a cloud-based phone system designed especially for businesses.
Because WHC uses the cloud, your phone system isn’t tied to a physical location. You can access your line from anywhere with an internet connection. And you can make and take calls in a variety of different ways, including desk phones, computers, headsets and mobile apps. That means you never have to miss a call again.
Through our optional add-ons, you can transform the way you work with others. You can send instant messages, join video conferences, share files and, of course, make phone calls. With more ways to communicate and share ideas, you can give your business a big productivity boost.
Your business has its own unique needs, and with WHC you have the flexibility to choose a package that suits you. As well as four different packages, you can pick and choose from a range of extras, which include integration with customer relationship management (CRM) systems, call recording and call analytics.
WHC makes it easy for you to manage your phone system. Through the intuitive online portal, you can see who’s using what and make changes as necessary. And because WHC is digital, adding and removing users is quick and easy.
Unlike some traditional phone systems, WHC doesn’t need any expensive on-site hardware. You just need to have compatible phones and a reliable internet connection. And as well as low set-up costs, it comes with free software updates, which we’ll take care of.
Most existing phone numbers can be brought over to WHC. So, you won’t have to inform your customers, change business cards or update web pages. You can even have a number with a different geographic location to your office, so it looks like you’re calling from somewhere local to your customers.
For decades, phone calls in the UK have been carried over a network of copper lines called the public switched telephone network (PSTN). This is set to be replaced with a digital system, and the old network will be shut down in late 2027. As a digital phone service, WHC is fully future-proof.
WHC lets you access your phone system from anywhere. If your business is ever faced with any kind of disruption, your lines can stay open, and people can still reach you on your usual number.
