What VoIP means for your Neath team
✓
Your number follows you
VoIP lets your staff take their Neath office number with them on a mobile or laptop app. Whether they are working from a Neath office, at home, or on-site with a client, calls come through on the same number.
✓
Calls typically cost less
Most Neath businesses see their monthly call costs drop after switching to VoIP. Line rental charges disappear, and per-minute rates are lower. We will give you a like-for-like cost comparison before you commit.

We handle the switch-over
Number porting, hardware setup, app configuration, training. We manage the whole process so your Neath team does not have to. We also liaise with your current provider so nothing falls through the gaps.
VoIP questions from Neath businesses
In almost all cases, yes. We port your existing numbers to the new system so your clients notice no change. The porting process typically takes a couple of weeks and we manage it for you.
We set up failover so calls divert to a mobile or alternative number automatically if your internet connection drops. You will not miss calls. This is one reason we often recommend managed connectivity alongside telephony.
Not necessarily. VoIP works on desktop IP phones, on mobile apps, and on laptop softphones. Many Neath businesses run entirely on the app without buying any new hardware at all.
Yes, provided your internet connection is solid. For businesses in Neath Bay, Central Square, Neath Gate Business Park, and Newport Road where call quality matters, we will assess your connection first and make sure the bandwidth and quality of service settings are right before going live.
