We don’t have a big marketing budget. So we try harder. And to get ahead, you need the right combination of service, price, and features. We’ve come up with a whole lot of unique things at Talktel to help us stand out—like our amazing customer service.
Have any questions about Talktel, our services or particular feature or VoIP in general, please reach out.
The following is a list of standard features you get with most phone systems. We want to just let you know we have them too. Honestly they are so common I wouldn’t even read the list — just skip to the features that make us stand out.
Here is a growing list of our advanced features that really make our services shine. We may not be showing everything as the list is quite long and constantly growing. If there is a specific feature you would like more detail or info on, please reach out.
When you receive a voicemail, we can email it to you as an audio attachment.
Sounds neat but think of the advantages: no longer checking your phone’s voicemail, receive your voicemails even when out of the office, file the voicemail with your client’s records, and forward the voicemail to another email address.
When you get your voicemail in your email Inbox, not only is the audio attachment there, but a text version of the email is also available.
This would allow you to find out the message without having to listen to it. Great for when you are in a meeting, movie or your kid’s Christmas concert (obviously only when your kid is not on stage).
Caller ID management allows users to create and control the caller ID number that will be displayed to the person they call.
Very useful if you need to appear as though you are calling from a different location or business.
Based on a set of predefined rules, you can redirect calls to a specific extension, phone number or directly to voicemail. You can also provide a busy signal to block abusive and annoying callers.
Enables a user to forward calls to other extensions depending on the user’s extension status.
Forward calls to other destinations depending on the rules created for a particular extension’s status. For example, you can forward calls to your cell phone in case you do not answer the call in 15 seconds, making sure your clients can always get a hold of you.
Local calls can have separate call forwarding rules such as forwarding to a different number. You can also whitelist specific phone numbers to prevent the call from forwarding.
Follow Me service rings destinations in a sequence set up by the user. If a call is not answered by the initial destination, the next destination in sequence will be dialed. For example, your desk phone rings first for 10 seconds and if unanswered it moves on to ring your cell phone for 10 seconds, then returns to your extension’s voicemail.
Rolling out a new phone system can have a major interruption to your business.
With proper planning and coordinating we can ensure as minimal intrusion as possible for a clean, simple and successful deployment.
Operation times is a feature that enables you to forward calls to a destination based on the date and time. For example, during office hours calls can be forwarded to a cell phone and stop forwarding during closed hours.
This allows the phone to use a different ringtone based on the type of incoming call. For example, Queue calls that ring multiple phones can have a separate ringtone compared to a direct incoming call that is meant for you specifically.
Callers can call into an interactive directory which allows them to search for users based on the first 3 letters of their first or last name.
Speakerphone Page allows you to broadcast a voice message to a predefined list of extensions at the same time through the desk phone intercom.
The Central Phone Book is synchronized across all phones. This allows a seamless directory that every user can access at the push of a button.
The Group Hunt service rings destinations simultaneously. For example, calls can ring at your extension as well as your cell phone, with voicemails being left on your extension.
All support is included when you sign up with Talktel. Everything from voicemail PIN resets to setting up advanced features. Plain and simple, we are here to make things easier and help you leverage the features as best as possible.
Working with 3rd party or automated systems is becoming a requirement for almost all platforms and phone systems are not an exception.
