Office Phone Systems

With an array of systems on the market, choosing the most economical and practical system for your business is a long and arduous task. This task hasn’t been made any simpler since phone systems have evolved and can now be stored in the cloud.

At Unified World we have years of experience in the telecoms sector and understand that business growth, budgets and multi-site requirements play a huge part in determining the right office phone system for you.

Like any technology sooner or later it becomes obsolete.  BT supply the vast majority of the fixed-line infrastructure.  Starting in 2023, BT (Openreach) have decided to start closing the fixed-line hosting platform.  What this means is any old phone system which uses a physical landline will become redundant.  New phone systems are utilising broadband (hosted systems) as a cloud-based solution.
