What is a cloud phone service?
A cloud phone service replaces your telco "lines" and physical phone system with an Internet based service. The service includes virtual phone lines and all outgoing call costs plus allows you to transfer calls, create hunt groups and digital menus, all accessed via a simple web browser interface.
How we help
We use Internet based phone lines and phone management software to provide your phone system, which is hosted in a secure Sydney AWS Data Centre.
You can receive, transfer and make calls using virtual phone lines accessed from your PC, mobile phone or tablet as well as from dedicated handsets. Plus, manage your phone system via a web portal and get help from our Australian based support team.
All phone records data is retained within Australia at all times.
How easy is it to move to i360 Cloud Phones?
At i360 we make things nice and simple. We take you through the process step by step, learning about what you need and suggesting options.
Step 1 - Consultation & Quote
We work with you to understand what you need your phone system to do. Once we understand the requirements we can recommend how the cloud phone service can deliver on what you need. This includes how incoming calls will be routed and a full quote showing costs.
Step 2 - Setup
If you are happy with the quote and give us the go ahead we can move onto the setup of the PABX. The heart of the cloud phone service is the PABX. This is the "brain" of the system and controls all functionality across your phone system. It is hosted by i360 at Amazon Web Services and is accessible via a web browser. This is setup to provide all the functionality requirements identified in Step 1.
Step 3 – App installation
Once the PABX is up and running the next step is for you to connect to it via the Cloud Phones App. The app can be installed on PCs, mobile phones, tablets etc. They just need to be connected to the internet. A welcome email is sent to each user/staff member that allows them to connect the app to the system.
Step 4 – Going Live
Once everything is setup and tested we will “flick the switch” and enable the system to start receiving and making calls. You can choose to forward (done by current telco) an existing number to a new one or we can “port” the old number across. You can also do a combination of both as porting the number can take some time depending on the telco provider currently controlling the number.
Step 5 – Flexibility going forward
Now that the system is live you are able to make changes to your system to allow it to evolve and adapt to your business requirements. Our cloud based phone service is very flexible and feature rich. To make changes simply login to the web-based console and adjust your settings. Add a new item in your digital menu, record a new greeting or add an extension. It’s all there at the touch of a button.
If you have considered moving to a cloud phone system but have hesitated because you thought the transition process was too complex, costly or time consuming you will be pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is!

All controls including making, receiving and diverting calls are completed within the PC application making for intuitive functionality.
However, Physical handsets can be used if required.
Use unlocked mobile handsets
If you would like to access a single handset (eg at reception) rather than a personal phone then a simple unlocked mobile phone handset running the i360 Cloud Phone app will allow you to make, answer and transfer calls and more! Just connect it to your modem's wifi and make and receive landline calls. See range at Officeworks
Dedicated Handsets can be used
When a dedicated handset is required we recommend the Yealink SIP-T33G IP Phone for use with the i360 Cloud Phone Service.

Manage your own digital reception service – callers are verbally prompted to choose from a menu of options to go through to a specific extension or a group of extensions - either via a priority line hunt or ring all extensions at once
-
Setup a schedule of standard office hours and modify your digital reception to suit. For example, outside of hours callers are directed to voicemail or to an after-hours answering service. Also, setup an annual schedule of holidays and create and play specific messages related to that holiday period.
Bonus Feature - call flow application
An exciting new feature allows you to program the cloud phone system to interact with the caller and complete tasks associated with their choices or status. For example, you can have the system check if an incoming caller is listed in the company wide contact list - if they are then they are directed to account managers, if they are not they are directed to the sales team.
The phone options now available to small business rival some of the biggest and most expensive systems the big corporations use. This saves time, saves money and offers clients better service.
