Understanding the Necessary Features for Your Business Phone System
Choosing the right phone system for your business can be an overwhelming task, especially when faced with complex costs, technical jargon, and a plethora of PBX add-ons. Business owners often find themselves perplexed about which features are truly essential for a seamless office experience. Skyetel has compiled a comprehensive list of mandatory VoIP features that every business should consider integrating into their phone service.
Ensuring Dial Tone Reliability
The Importance of a Consistent Dial Tone
A reliable dial tone is not just a convenience; it's a necessity. Unfortunately, many companies overlook the importance of ensuring this reliability. At Skyetel, we have made significant investments in our infrastructure to provide our customers with a dependable service. Our reputation for trustworthiness means you can always count on that crucial dial tone to be there when you need it.
Self-Provisioning Phones for Flexibility
Instant Activation for a Modern Workforce
Gone are the days of waiting endlessly for an engineer to complete a complicated phone installation. With self-provisioning phones, you can achieve instant connectivity simply by plugging in your device with a broadband connection and power cord. This feature combines the simplicity of a traditional home phone with the modern flexibility of working from any location, meeting the needs of today's dynamic work environments.
Never Miss a Call with Call Forwarding
Seamless Call Routing
Missing an important call can be a thing of the past with call forwarding. Whether you're away from your desk or on the move, you can easily route calls to your mobile phone, voicemail, or even another employee. With just one click, ensure that crucial calls reach you wherever you are, enhancing your accessibility and responsiveness.
Transform Your Communication with Voicemail to Email
Instant Voicemail Notifications
Traditional landline services often leave you unaware of voicemails until you're back at your desk. With Skyetel's voicemail to email feature, you receive instant notifications directly to your mobile device. This ensures that you never miss essential messages, allowing for prompt responses and improved communication efficiency.
Enhance Efficiency with Fax to Email
Streamlined Fax Management

Boost Professionalism with Virtual Receptionist
Directing Calls with Precision
A virtual receptionist, or IVR, plays a crucial role in directing callers to the appropriate department swiftly. This feature not only enhances the professional image of your business but also improves customer experience. For added convenience, consider time-of-day routing options that ensure calls reach you during business hours and direct to voicemail after hours.
Gain Insights with Call Log and Real Time Call History
Comprehensive Call Tracking
Accessing a detailed call log directly from your phone is invaluable for managing missed calls, recent dials, and last incoming calls. This feature supports CRM integration and facilitates efficient callbacks. For businesses seeking deeper analysis, look for services that provide raw CSV data of call history, enabling you to monitor staff activity and manage operational costs effectively.
Efficient Communication Through Call Transfer
Optimize Call Handling
Efficiently transferring calls to the correct department or individual can save valuable time for both employees and callers. This feature eliminates the need to physically move across the office to answer calls. Choose services that offer both supervised and blind transfers to cater to your specific business needs.
