SmartComms UC - Hosted phone system

Hosted is a phone system held securely offsite by KCOM. We 'host' your system, which means we can maintain it for you as well as leaving no large equipment at any of your sites. This also means it is flexible, as you only pay for the number of users you have at one time, and new features can be added and removed at any stage.

We offer a range of hosted phone systems, including PBX, but our most popular solution is SmartComms UC. This is a flexible and customisable phone system that's made for the individual, so the needs of your office based staff, mobile workers and home workers can all be met at the same time. 

It's really easy to make changes without the worry of adding or removing any of your lines, let us handle that. Plus there's no up-front costs, meaning you only pay for what you use.

Want your desk phone and number to hand when you're out and about? Not a problem. Need to check if your colleagues are busy or free? SmartComms UC will do that for you. Fancy video conferencing? It's got that too.
