This product is highly reliable and resilient. It is designed and built to serve the needs of businesses in the UK. Currently over 20,000 businesses have signed up for an account with us. The Switchboard is not built on a "cheap" V.O.I.P. or S.I.P platform, but is built on solid and reliable telephony infrastructure. This ensures that the call quality is consistently of the very highest standard. Some of you with broadband numbers, V.O.I.P lines or PC voice applications will know that one call can be good quality and the next barely audible. Our solution is always good quality and offers the level of reliability a professional business needs. Our state of the art Softswitch is co-located in London and housed with Telstra, who are Australia's incumbent carrier. Our infrastructure is dual redundant and we boast an uptime of plus 99%. Of course from time to time we have to fix and maintain our platform, but in most cases you will not notice when this happens. We have a team of dedicated in-house technical staff who monitor and maintain our systems 365 days a year.

We know how important a memorable number can be to your business. We are able to supply a limited quantity of "GOLD" numbers. To check availability please call our customer services team on 0844 884 3010.

Many UK businesses use an 084 number because it can give their business a national presence and the feel of a BIG company, whilst offering their customers a number that has a low call cost! Also, if a business relocates their office they can keep the same number without the expense of re-printing stationery or re-designing websites.

However, in today's competitive work place, that's not always enough. Did you know that lost or badly managed inbound calls are the single biggest reason small companies in the UK lose customers and revenues? Most businesses miss the odd call, are engaged from time to time or even forget to return messages!

This product helps you manage your inbound calls effectively, ensuring you Never Miss A Call Again!

It's extremely simple and very fast to set up. We allow you to set up the Switchboard from a single web page and we will provide you with a user name and password. All you need to do is click on the "Get it Now/Sign up Now" link and choose the number you would like to set up. You have a few simple options to choose from, which are explained on the page. It should take no more than two minutes.

If you prefer, you can always chat to one of our customer services team on 0844 884 3010, who will be happy to help you. Your details can be updated or amended easily on line as often as you like. Just log on and click! It really is that easy!

Yes! You can route your queue number to any UK mobile phone number. However, due to the large charges imposed by mobile network operators, a small charge is made for this service. Once you sign up you will be able to load credit onto your account. This credit can be used to redirect your calls to any of up to five UK mobile numbers of your choosing. Top-ups are made through our secure billing partners "WorldPay" and are instant!

You're not alone! Our development team find answer phones a pain! We forget to check them, they can fill up over night and worst of all you have to listen to the message three times before you have a chance to note it down!

We have simplified all of this! If we are unable to connect your caller because your line is either busy or not answered, we will offer the caller the opportunity to leave you a voicemail. We will then send the voice message to you via email, as an attachment. Once you have the message you can listen to it with any player, e.g. windows media player. Alternatively, you can store it or forward it as you would a normal email. This is a great use of email and is simple to use.

If a customer hangs up before you have a chance to answer their call we will email you their phone number, providing it is not withheld. This is a very valuable tool for your company. Imagine the last time you were in a call queue and hung up in frustration. What if a few seconds later that company called you back and apologised for missing your call?! Turn a potentially negative customer experience into a positive one!

This is one of the most beneficial features a small business could want out of a telephone system.

No problem! You can choose from a selection of intro messages, finding one that suits your company. Just click on the one you like, or record your own from your phone, then click to make it live! It's that simple!

Yes you can! Just click on the music drop down list and choose the "on hold" music that suits your company's image. We even cover the performing rights licence payment so you don't have to!

Yes. Once you are logged on to your account you have the option to add new numbers. Each number can be configured separately, so you can have a different number for sales, accounts, customer service...etc

One of the best features for small businesses is our systems ability to queue callers if your line is engaged or is not answered immediately.

We welcome the caller and inform them we are trying to connect them. The caller is put on hold, listening to the 'on-hold' music you have selected, until we can connect them to you. Your customer will never hear the engaged tone and you will be equipped to answer more calls.

Yes we can! You can select up to five locations for the call to be routed to. When a caller phones your number we ring each location in turn until we are able to connect the call. We call this our "Follow Me" application. It's great for people who work in more than one location, companies with several offices or even people that work between home and office.

Yes. You can give out one single number for "sales" and have it connect in rotation to three separate locations. This is a great feature if you have sales people that work from home and you need to distribute the calls evenly between them. You can even log on to see the number of calls they have taken!

Yes! Once you have chosen a number it will not be allocated to anyone else while you are using it. Your number will be for your exclusive use. If you have not used the number for three consecutive months we will contact you to see if we can take it back to offer to other customers.

Yes. You can still keep your existing number. We will connect your new 084 number to your existing number, therefore your current number will not be affected. However your existing number will not benefit from our advanced features so we recommend promoting your new number as soon as possible on your website and marketing material.

Yes. Our service works perfectly with VOIP services. At times, VOIP phones can take longer to begin ringing so we give you the option to extend the ring time of your 084 number when redirecting to a VOIP number making it work seamlessly.

You might want to check that your VOIP number is a normal geographic number and NOT a number starting with 05! 05 numbers are charged at a higher rate and we are NOT able to redirect to these numbers free of charge.

There is no difference between 0843 and 0844 numbers. 0843 numbers are just the latest number ranges to be released in the UK. The call cost for both 0843 and 0844 are the same.
