IP phones and headsets

BT Cloud Voice uses IP phones. You can choose from a broad range, depending on your employees’ needs. We’ll also configure them for you so they’re ready to use straight out of the box. 

We’ve tested all our IP phones to make sure they work perfectly with our BT Cloud Voice service. To make sure you experience the quality of calls you’d expect, only IP phones from the BT Cloud Voice portfolio can be used.

You can also choose from our range of headsets. They are sourced from leading edge suppliers and can be purchased when you order your BT Cloud Voice service.

Choice of regional phone numbers

With BT Cloud Voice, your numbers aren't tied to your local area. You can choose local numbers from anywhere in the country. 

So if you have a team of regional sales managers all based at your head office in Birmingham, you could give the manager for the north west a Manchester number, the manager for Wales a Cardiff number, and so on. You can give the impression of being local to your customers without having to open a local office.

If you need more phones than you can connect to your current router, installing a new hub, Local Area Network (LAN) and cabling can increase your capacity and give you the sharpest, clearest service for your BT Cloud Voice system.

We can help with any requirements you may have. When we confirm your BT Cloud Voice order with you, our sales advisors will assess whether a new LAN, new hub or new cabling would be needed, and talk through the prices and benefits of upgrading.

Worried about getting to grips with BT Cloud Voice? Don’t be. Our training packages have you covered.

For anywhere, anytime access, choose our Training Platform. It’s got it all from self-service courses and video tutorials, through to instructor-led webcasts and 1-2-1 Guru sessions.     

After a more personal touch? Then on-site training with a face-to-face lesson in your own office is for you. Combine this with one of our Training Platform options for a blended approach – ideal for a training refresh and for new employees.  

Make better decisions, spot ways to cut costs and keep your customers happy. Call analytics works with your BT Cloud Voice system to give you data on the calls you attempt, make and receive, as well as the ones you miss.

Viewing your call data is easy – just log in to the online portal using any internet-enabled device. You can choose how detailed you want your reporting to be – at a company, department, team or employee level. It’ll even analyse your data and show trends.

FAQs

What is Cloud Voice?

BT Cloud Voice is a virtual phone system that’s hosted in the cloud. That means you get all the functionality of a traditional telephony system, but with the flexibility to do more.

How does cloud calling work?

Cloud calls are placed over the internet rather than using a traditional phone line. That means you don’t need to worry about the set-up and maintenance of a phone system, and your team can make and receive calls no matter where they are.

What’s the difference between BT Cloud Voice and BT Cloud Phone?

BT Cloud Phone is a fully configured, plug and play system for small businesses. Users all access the same set of features.

BT Cloud Voice is designed for the larger business (five users and above). It’s self-install but with an engineer install option, along with cabling and LAN options. Users access individually tailored features.

How to use BT Cloud Voice?

Make BT Cloud Voice work for you with a bespoke set-up that meets your business’ needs. You just need to choose your features, phone and call plan, and we’ll do the rest. We’ll get everything set up so it works perfectly with your internet connection. We can even install Cloud Voice for you, or support with cabling and networking equipment to get you up and running. Then you simply use it like a regular phone system.

Do I need a fibre connection?

Not necessarily – you may only need a broadband connection. The speed you need depends on how many people will be using the system. We’ll check everything when you call us before you place an order.

What’s the ideal connection for BT Cloud Voice?

While BT Cloud Voice can be supported on any connection with sufficient bandwidth, we recommend our leased line or business fibre broadband. Here’s why:

  • When you get your leased line or fibre broadband and BT Cloud Voice service from us, we’ll do the legwork to make sure everything works perfectly together. And you’ll only have one supplier to work with.
  • We’ll make sure your calls get top priority over your internet traffic on our connections, so you’ll always get great quality calls.
  • Our internet connections come with built-in security and 24/7 monitoring to make sure you stay safe – and connected – at all times.
  • Our network has ultra-low latency which is vital for making the most of voice applications like BT Cloud Voice. Better still, it’s guaranteed by our service level agreement.

 

Do I need BT Business Broadband to use BT Cloud Voice?

No, as long as you have sufficient bandwidth you can use BT Cloud Voice. We can discuss your current set-up when you talk to us. 

If you’re looking for a new broadband connection, we can find the right package for your business from our comprehensive range: standard broadband, fibre broadband, or BTnet leased line.

Am I going to compromise on quality?

No, the call quality is the same as with a standard phone. Your callers won’t know the difference.

How do I access the BT Cloud Voice portal?

The BT Cloud Voice portal allows you to manage your communications features and settings from anywhere – and any device – that's on the internet.
