VoIP & Phones
What is the difference between a cloud-based phone system and a traditional PBX?
Cloud-based systems like Intermedia Unite eliminate costly on-site hardware. They offer flexibility, mobile apps, voicemail-to-email, video conferencing, and lower monthly costs compared to traditional PBX.
Can I keep my existing phone numbers if I switch to your VoIP service (Cloud PBX)?
Yes. We can port your current business numbers to your new cloud-based phone system. Our team handles the entire process for you to make the transition smooth and hassle-free. To begin, we’ll need a Letter of Authorization (LOA), a copy of your most recent phone bill, and a few details about the administrator/owner of your current provider’s account. Once submitted, we’ll work directly with your existing carrier to transfer your numbers, ensuring there’s no disruption to your business communications.
What are the normal timelines related to porting numbers to Intermedia Unite?
The porting process typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on your current provider and the accuracy of the submitted paperwork. Once we receive your Letter of Authorization (LOA), recent bill, and account administrator details, we’ll begin working with your carrier to complete the transfer. During this time, we can often set up temporary call forwarding so your business never misses a call. Our team keeps you updated throughout the process to ensure a smooth transition.
