Why Maryland & Virginia Businesses Are Ditching Their PBX
Traditional on-premise PBX phone systems require expensive hardware, maintenance contracts, and IT support to manage. Cloud VoIP gives your business enterprise phone features at a fraction of the cost — with the added benefit that employees can use it from any device, anywhere. For businesses already using Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams Phone provides the most seamless integration, eliminating the need for a separate phone system entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions — VoIP & Business Phone Systems
What VoIP phone systems do you support in Maryland and Virginia?
We install and support Microsoft Teams Phone, RingCentral, Zoom Phone, 8x8, and other leading cloud VoIP platforms. For businesses already using Microsoft 365, Teams Phone is usually the most cost-effective option as it integrates directly with your existing Microsoft environment.
Can you port our existing business phone numbers to VoIP?
Yes. Number porting transfers your existing business phone numbers to your new VoIP system — your clients and contacts keep the same numbers they've always called. The porting process typically takes 2-4 weeks and we manage the entire process.
Will VoIP work reliably with our current internet connection?
VoIP quality depends primarily on your internet connection's upload speed, latency, and jitter — not raw download bandwidth. A 20-person office typically needs 1 Mbps upload per 10 concurrent calls plus QoS (Quality of Service) configuration on your router to prioritize voice traffic. We assess your connection during our pre-deployment review.
Do you set up auto-attendants and call routing?
Yes. We configure complete auto-attendant (IVR) menus, business hours call routing, after-hours handling, call queues, hunt groups, voicemail-to-email, and call recording. Most setups are completed in 1-2 days after number porting is complete.
Can remote employees use the same business phone system?
Yes — this is one of the primary advantages of cloud VoIP. Remote and hybrid employees use a softphone app on their computer or mobile device and appear as extensions on your business phone system. Calls transfer seamlessly between office and remote workers, and callers see your business number regardless of where employees are located.
Enterprise Phone Features for Any Size Business
