Hosted Voice brings all your communication together with the latest technology and features without the initial investment. Let’s learn more about Hosted Voice and the benefits to your organization.

 

What is Hosted Voice?

Hosted Voice refers to a telecommunications system hosted in the cloud. Connect with team members from anywhere, any time. You don’t have to worry about lag time or where your staff is located. Hosted Voice offers features like enterprise-grade call control, flexible calling features, instant messaging, and voice mail– available on a per-user basis. This product can be deployed quicker and cheaper than an on-premises system.

Here are the top seven benefits of hosted voice services that could be especially beneficial to your business.

Top 7 Benefits of Hosted Voice

Cost Savings –  Unlike traditional phone systems, Hosted VoIP providers host all their hardware and network architecture for you. That means, Hosted VoIP eliminates the need for in-house servers and their accompanying maintenance costs. One benefit of hosted phone systems is that your server burden is largely off-premises. You save money as you share the expense with your other hosted phone system subscribers.

Minimal long-distance charges We offer cost savings with bulk package discounted on hourly rates for international calls. We don’t charge per call like a standard Hosted VoIP.

Flexibility – A Hosted VoIP number, often referred to as a virtual number, is entirely portable. That means you can use the same number no matter where you go. For frequent travelers and businesspeople who move around a lot, this is great news. And the best part? If your business changes address, you can take your Hosted VoIP number with you.

High Call Quality – The call quality is superb because Hosted VoIP operates on the Internet instead of the existing telephone lines.

Easy Management – Smart City’s customizable web portal gives you control and access to unify and simplify all your business communications, in one place, from any Internet-enabled device. Get administrative controls for better management and security, advanced calling features, self-managing user extensions, voicemail forwarding, and 24/7 accessibility with visibility into performance.
