…Entrepreneurs and starts-ups to benefit from low cost UK and International calls – plus advanced telephony features

LONDON – Monday 23rd April 2012 – Telappliant, the leading Internet telephony provider for UK based small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), has launched VoIPOffice Hosted Lite™ – a new entry-level hosted VoIP service specifically designed to meet the needs of small businesses.

VoIPOffice Hosted Lite is a flexible, low-cost, feature-rich hosted telephony service for businesses with up to 20 employees. It comes complete with five extensions (expandable to 20) and allows up to three concurrent calls (expandable to five). Features include call queuing, an assignable ring group, voicemail delivered to your email inbox and an Interactive Virtual Receptionist (IVR). Users of this service can transfer their existing telephone numbers to VoIPOffice, or Telappliant can supply new inbound phone numbers for more than 1,000 cities worldwide. Customers can also benefit from low cost UK and International call tariffs, call plans with inclusive minutes and free calls to other VoIP users. The new service will give small businesses more control over their telephony costs and the ability to scale up operations as and when their business grows.

Furthermore, VoIPOffice Hosted Lite is a secure cloud service which eliminates the need for start-ups to purchase, install and maintain expensive office telephone hardware. The telephony service can be enabled within 24 hours* and there are no setup fees or technical knowledge required. VoIPOffice Hosted Lite costs just £25 per month and comes with a price match promise**.

When used in conjunction with igen® Mobile, Telappliant’s fixed mobile convergence solution-on-a-SIM, home and mobile workers have full access to their office telephone system (and all its functionality) from their mobile phone, without running up expensive bills.

Tan Aksoy, Chief Executive Officer at Telappliant, commented, “We are delighted to launch our new service for small business which we believe will help entrepreneurs in their early stages to convey a more professional and customer friendly image. VoIPOffice Hosted Lite enables staff to pick up calls and messages at the office, at home or while they are travelling – and delivers a reliable, seamless communication experience that supports everyday business in a very cost effective and scalable way. VoIPOffice Hosted Lite is part of a suite of VoIPOffice services that can support locations with up to 10,000 employees, so your phone system can grow with your business.”
