Adding users, changing routing, updating voicemail greetings, and troubleshooting — handled locally so you don’t sit on hold with a 1-800 number.
Legacy landline and PBX systems are expensive to maintain, hard to expand, and tied to a physical location. VoIP runs over your existing internet connection — which means no separate phone lines, no PBX hardware boxes to replace, and no per-minute long distance charges.
For most Fort Frances businesses switching from a traditional landline, VoIP costs roughly the same or less per month — while adding features like mobile apps, voicemail-to-email, call recording, and a professional auto-attendant that would have cost thousands on a legacy system.
VoIP systems typically cost $20–$40 per user per month for cloud service, plus a one-time setup fee. This is usually comparable to or less than existing landline bills while offering significantly more features.
Yes. Number porting transfers your current phone number to the new VoIP system. The process takes a few business days and your calls continue uninterrupted throughout the transition.
Yes, though call quality depends on upload speed stability. Starlink is generally sufficient for VoIP. We configure QoS (Quality of Service) settings to prioritize voice traffic and minimize jitter on rural connections.
Most VoIP systems include failover options — calls can automatically route to a mobile number during an outage. We configure this as part of setup so your business stays reachable even when the internet is down.
Yes. Cloud VoIP means most support is remote, but we can be on-site when needed. We support VoIP systems across the Rainy River District including Fort Frances, Emo, Rainy River, Atikokan, and surrounding areas.
