Scalability built in

The system grows as you grow. It takes next to no time at all to add an extension or a handset for a new employee. We even provide next-day delivery to our customers. We go the extra mile to ensure that new handsets are delivered and working as fast as possible.

With our cloud technology, businesses don’t need costly engineer visits or suffer any downtime when adding a new line.

Bring your own number

With our hosted telephony solution, you can choose to keep your existing telephone number even if you are moving to another area or exchange. For most businesses, this is crucial to ensure continuity. So, we make it easy and simple to bring it with you when you make the switch.

Or you can also opt for a brand new telephone number with a dialling code of your choice. With TMC Telecom, the power is in your hands.

Disaster recovery

In case of emergency, we’ve got you covered. All system data is held off-site – securely in the cloud. So should the worst happen, it is super easy to re-route calls to any other device.

All features will continue to work as normal. So, there’s one less thing you need to worry about when emergency situations arise.

Unified communications

Our hosted telephony platform lets you move away from your desk and puts the power and flexibility of unified communications in your hand.

Our mobile and desktop clients enable you to take the office with you and seamlessly communicate & collaborate with your teams or customers. Group caller line ID enables you to present your business number when calling remotely wherever you are in the world.

Feature rich

With our hosted telephone system, you get buckets of smart features out of the box.

All of the analogue and digital ‘Select services’ are included as standard, plus features you would expect from a premium telephone system such as Automated Attendant, Hunt Groups, Music on-hold, Voicemail to email and Call analytics to name just a few.

Via the cloud, you get more than just phone calls

At its simplest, hosted telephony works by taking normal voice calls, and converting them to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) so that the calls can be reliably and securely sent over an internet connection. Our hosted telephony platform is a true ISDN replacement service trusted by thousands of companies and organisations across the country including Schools, Colleges & Local authorities.

Our platform provides crystal-clear HD calls. Unified communications features can be ‘switched on’ including Video conferencing, IM (Instant messaging), collaboration and Microsoft Teams integration. These features can be added at a user level so the system can be tailored to your exact requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Are hosted telephone systems reliable?
Our system is very reliable, powered by BroadSoft which is the world’s leading hosted platform. Its main selling point is its stability and reliability, this is why it is frequently the system of choice of schools, colleges, local authorities and emergency services.

Outages are very rare, in fact far less than on ISDN or analogue lines. A true option for ISDN replacement.

Can I carry over my old number?
Yes! With a hosted telephone line TMC makes it easy and simple to carry over your existing telephone number to your new system.
Will I need an engineer to move the telephone system if we move offices?
Nope! It’s easy to move a handset from one office to another. Just unplug it from the extension and plug it into our broadband at the new location. Whether it’s to the home office, another desk, or an entirely different office.
Will I get standard features such as call waiting, hold and caller ID?
Our hosted telephone systems come with a full suite of ‘standard’ telephone features. This includes call waiting, call return, placing calls on hold, caller ID, withhold number and last number redial.
Does it cost the earth?
Nope! Rather than the huge initial cost to buy and install a traditional phone system, and then the numerous ongoing costs, our packages can often have a negligible initial cost and can include free handset rental bundled with the calls included. This is great for cash flow. With our flexible, scalable pricing we can deliver extraordinary service to small businesses, start-ups, and monster enterprises. You get great technology in a package that suits you.
Do I need a good internet connection?
Yes! For hosted telephony to work well, we would recommend that you have a reliable internet connection, ideally a fibre broadband connection dedicated to your voice services. We can test your current connection and provide a suitable service before set-up. If the broadband isn’t ready for a hosted telephone system, we won’t recommend it.
Do we have to have your broadband for your hosted telephone system to work?
No. We can provide you with some simple settings for your router to allow our voice service to work properly on third-party broadband. We would, of course, recommend our broadband. It ‘shaped’ for voice and just means that if there is ever a problem, we can test everything for you, to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible.
Do I need the system to be professionally installed by an engineer?
All though we do offer professional installation services, more often than not, it won’t be required. Our systems are preconfigured and then tested before delivery, to your exact specification. The phones are then just ‘plug and play’.
Will my cabling be ok for your hosted telephone system?
Our system uses normal CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cabling for most phones. Most modern systems use this as a standard now. If you still have the old-fashioned voice cabling, we can arrange for a survey to replace this for you before delivery.
Do I need to have desk phones?
No, we have cordless IP phones available which have a fantastic range of around 100 meters.

Alternatively, why not do away with a phone completely and try our unified communications softphone clients which work on Windows or Mac? These enable you to make and take normal voice calls via a headset and even collaborate using instant messaging and video conferencing, all in one place.

Do the handsets need to be on a separate network?
Ideally, yes. However, some routers will allow separation within the router settings which is fine. We would supply additional settings for you to add to the router so that our voice services can work properly.
What happens if my broadband has a fault?
Just like if you had a normal line fault, your desk phones would stop working until the fault is fixed.

In this scenario, the system will sense there was a problem and can be set to automatically forward calls to any other telephone line, mobile or voicemail so that you do not miss any calls. Also, if you are using our mobile applications, the calls will come through to the app on your smartphone using 4G so there will be no loss of service.
