Most business phone systems feature an Interactive Voice Response menu that helps direct callers to the right place.

We prefer to focus on innovation and want to empower our customers to do the same. We feel that communication is a necessity and we don’t believe in overcharging for the simple technologies that we’ve been using for decades. SignalWire pushes this bar even farther by offering phone numbers at only $0.08 a month (other providers charge up to a dollar). In fact, cloud-based phone systems are less expensive overall, drastically reducing capital expenditures. Or, if you’re more of a texter like most people these days, you can use your business numbers to send and receive SMS.Īnother great benefit to a cloud system is that you don’t have to worry about setting up and maintaining expensive hardware. This way, important calls never get missed and your customers feel valued. For example, business calls can first be sent to an office phone and then directed to your personal cell phone or computer if nobody answers. With an advanced communication platform like SignalWire, you can even customize where incoming calls are directed. Any employee not on-site will be able to take business voice and video calls from any location which gives them flexibility while still staying connected in a professional way. Because VoIP operates over the internet rather than legacy landlines, calls can be answered on modern desk phones as well as smartphones, tablets, and computers. When you set up your own system, it’s easier for your employees to communicate with customers and each other, especially if they work remotely or if your business operates in multiple locations. VoIP systems offer more customization for a lower price and with SignalWire you can easily move your current system. There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” communications system, but that is exactly what makes a cloud solution such a good option it’s versatile. The tricky part about choosing a phone system comes down to the fact that every business is unique and has different needs.
