FAQs

Not much.  CloudPhone service is hosted by FreedomVoice remotely in the cloud, meaning there is no on-site phone server or PBX to configure and no software to install.  We ship you your phones, you plug them in, and activate them online.  Generally, all you will need is a business-grade broadband connection and the CloudPhone-enabled phones included with the service. To evaluate your network’s readiness for CloudPhone service, check out our free online VoIP Speed Test.

CloudPhone service includes unlimited domestic local and long distance calling from CloudPhone devices (including Polycom deskset phones and softphones). You’re free to make as many of these calls as you want without the meter running. Please note that calls you make to phone numbers outside the domestic service area (United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the USVI) are billed at per-minute international rates.

Yes!  CloudPhone is built to scale in two ways that distinguish our solution from others on the market.  First, you may add new phones to your service at any time just by gving us a call. We ship you the phones, you plug them in, activate them online and you’re ready to go.  Second, should your business grow to the point of needing a more complex setup or local on-site support, we make it very easy to move to our CloudPBX solution designed for small businesses with five or more phones.

With CloudPhone service, location simply isn’t a barrier.  You can have phones in multiple offices, including home offices, all joined seamlessly on the same phone system.  Adding a new location is painless, as phones simply plug-and-play wherever they go. Some customers will even pack their phone for business travel and plug into hotel room Ethernet to set up an office away from the office.

Yes. CloudPhone service is compatible with the X-Lite (desktop) and Bria (mobile) softphone applications from CounterPath. These programs allow you to use your CloudPhone service to place, receive, and manage calls without the need for a physical deskset phone (though you may use a deskset phone as well at your discretion).  For more information on these applications, please visit www.counterpath.com.

Sure. For each extension, you can set up a call forwarding list with the phones and phone numbers you want to send the call to. You may choose, for example, to first try to deliver the forwarded call to your desk phone, and if you don’t answer to then try your mobile phone. You can even set up to only try your desk phone on the times of day or days of week you know you will be in the office, and send forwarded calls straight to your mobile any other time.

Yes. When activating each phone online, you will be able to choose from a selection of local phone numbers in or near your area that when dialed will directly ring to that phone instead of going through your automated attendant and extensions.

Yep. We get it – productivity is a terrible thing to waste, and not everyone calling has something worthwhile to say. Block calls from telemarketers or other harassing phone numbers, or screen your calls with options like having the caller speak their name and hear this upon answering before choosing whether to connect or send to voicemail.
