Hosted IP Telecommunications Services
Business Connect offers affordable, easy-to-use hosted business class telephone service alternatives to traditional telephone systems or expensive Centrex services from traditional telecommunications solution providers.
Business Connect allows users, regardless of location, to be part of a virtual telephone system that includes voice mail, auto attendants, conference bridges, four digit dialing and disaster recovery options, in addition to a rich portfolio of other business class features normally only offered by dedicated equipment. Business Connect also delivers unlimited local and long distance calling plans for the United States and Canada, and access to low international rates.
Business Connect subscribers have the ability to choose the features and calling plans from a selection of service subscriptions that meet their specific needs. Each user receives a Business Connect extension number and can be located anywhere in the world where there is access to the Internet. Business Connect extension-to-extension calls, transfers and conference calls are accomplished over the Business Connect VoIP network, anywhere in the world, free of extra charges.
