You don’t need to buy, house, or maintain any equipment (aside from the BT IP phones). The IP phones come pre-configured so only devices from the BT Cloud Phone portfolio will  work with your system.

The system itself is in the cloud. You don’t need any technical expertise.

As a fully-hosted system, we’ll help you configure it to suit your business and make sure that everything is running as it should. We take responsibility for the running and upgrading of the system. And as you don’t have a physical system housed on your premises, you don’t need to worry about the installation, operational, and maintenance costs that would normally be associated with an on-premises system.

You also won’t need dedicated staff to manage your phone system.

All you need to do is plug in your BT Cloud Phone IP phones and you’re in business.

Everything that a Featureline or traditional phone system provides plus more ...

Call management features including call forwarding, routing, transfer, screening, caller ID, and voicemail.

Features, such as fully integrated mobile (Android and iOS) and desk top apps, softphone, and call recording.

For a complete list, and to see the recommended minimum system requirements, download the PDF.

Download the apps for the power of BT Cloud Phone, wherever your business takes you.

Mobile app

Take BT Cloud Phone on the road. You can make and take calls using your BT Cloud Phone number on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, anytime, anywhere. Plus send and receive messages and faxes, review and forward voicemail messages, and more – all on your mobile.

Desktop app

Complete call management from your PC. Plug in a headset and you can instantly call, fax or start conferences. Your company directory, contacts and Microsoft Office can be seamlessly integrated. Get in touch in a mouse-click with this comprehensive communications solution.

Plus video and web meetings are available when you choose Connect or Collaborate.

Need to bring customers, employees or suppliers together quickly and easily? Audio conferencing makes it happen – with no expensive travel costs.

And if you prefer face-to-face meetings, Collaborate comes with video and web meetings as standard – and these can be added as an optional extra with Connect.

Calls across your system are free so your employees can call each other for nothing.

Your numbers aren't tied to your local area.

You can choose local numbers from anywhere in the country for your users, wherever they’re actually located.

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 the south, a London 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.

Manage the system from anywhere with an internet connection, including via the mobile app (Android/iOS).

Plus call monitoring is available when you choose Connect or Collaborate.

Call recording

Easily record inbound and outbound calls – plus download them to your computer. Recording calls is handy for training, checking customer service and keeping accurate records. And because it’s all done in the cloud, there’s no need for any extra equipment.

Call monitoring

Listen in to calls and lend support using BT Cloud Phone. Supervisors can join a call, discreetly speak to staff at the same time, and even take over the call.

Support by phone from our helpdesk, and online knowledgebase. 

Basic licence customers and single user account customers on any licence type can contact the service support team Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm.

Connect and Collaborate licence customers will be able to contact the service support team 24/7.

Bridge the gap between your phone system and your business applications.

It’s easy to bring Cloud Phone’s communication capabilities into the applications you use every day. So you won’t need to switch between programs to call, send a fax or conference.

Our App Gallery has plug-and-play integrations like Google, Skype, Outlook, Salesforce, Zendesk, Zoho and more (some may not be available with Basic). And with Connect and Collaborate,  you can quickly create your own integrations and extensions with our developer platform.

Integrating with BT Cloud Phone can help you increase your operational efficiency, and improve customer service and support.

An unlimited UK call option is available with Connect and Collaborate.

£3 (ex vat)
  extra per user per month.

Web meetings are quick to set up and really useful if you’ve got people in different locations.

You can choose any IP device from the BT Cloud Phone portfolio.

We’ll configure them for you so they’re ready to use as soon as you get them out of the box.

At-a-glance dashboards to help you manage customer service supply and demand.

You can quickly view live reports of call activities and queues – which are accurate to within a second for 99.9% of the time under normal conditions.

And you can view and monitor trends to adjust staffing – making sure you have people ready to help when your customers need it most.

Data is available for individual users or phone numbers, plus customised groups and across your whole company.

The call quality will be the same as with a standard phone line.

We’ll check that your broadband or fibre can support it before we complete your order.

For more information and other UK call rates please see the BT Cloud Phone Price List Entry.

Or you can add the Unlimited Call Package for £3 per user per month. You would need either the Connect or Collaborate feature pack to do this. However you can upgrade to one of these from the Basic pack.

You’ll continue to use your BT Cloud Phone service as normal.

However, if your contract has a minimum period of 24 months or longer you will no longer get the discount associated with your contract.

You’ll have a couple of choices:

1. You can do nothing, default to a one-year contract, and pay the non-discounted monthly rental charge
   
2. Or you can stay on the discounted price by signing a new contract for BT Cloud Phone and start a new minimum period of 24 months or longer.
