What is a business phone line?

A business phone line is a telephone connection or a system of multiple connections with features designed for businesses, such as call waiting, routing, transferring, and more. The name originates from days of analog systems when communications were sent in the form of signals through a copper ‘line’. Today, with the advent of VoIP devices and cloud-based platforms, business phone lines work over the internet.

Things to consider when choosing a business phone service provider

Choosing the best small business phone system is not the easiest thing to do. There are simply too many options for business phone providers on the market. This section will guide you on what to look for in the phone system.

Basic features

First and foremost, you need to see what the phone lines offer your business. Start with the basics; see if it has call forwarding, call transferring, call logging, and other similar features.

Value for money

Phone services may be cheap but they might not always offer good value for money. It is always better if you can test the software for free before you purchase it.

Easy Setup

A software that’s easy to use and implement is the one you should seek. There’s no point in going through a complicated setup that’s going to waste your time and hamper you reaching your goals.

Scalability

Set out your business needs, then evaluate if the phone line services can help you now and as you grow. Evaluate whether the phone service provider can accommodate the future success of your small business.

Most popular business phone line types

Cloud-based phone systems are of many types, based on the number of lines available. Here’s a snapshot of the most popular types of small business phone lines:

Business line for cell phones

A business line for cell phones is the perfect choice for small teams, microbusinesses, and entrepreneurs who are always on the go or work out of virtual offices. In addition to a personal line, you can add a business line and manage the accounts separately. The app is compatible with Android as well as iOS devices.

2-line business phone line

A 2-line business phone line, true to its name, has two separate lines for making and receiving calls. If your business doesn’t expect a flood of calls to come in, this type is ideal for you. It is often the preferred choice for small business owners with two to four employees and those who operate out of home offices.

4-line business phone line

With four separate business lines, this type is for small businesses and start-ups with five or more employees. It also suits certain industries where the number of simultaneous calls is higher than average. For instance, retail shops, hospitality start-ups like restaurants and hotels, etc. would require a 4-line business phone line to manage online orders and bookings.

Multi-line phone systems for small businesses (5+lines)

It’s best that small businesses who offer communication-centric services (small-scale call centres, teleconsultation service providers, etc.) opt for multiple lines based on their requirements. Small-size healthcare facilities, pharmacies, insurance agencies, etc. would also benefit from multi-line phone systems for small businesses.

I find this solution particularly relevant. The list of calls, with the option of listening to them again and accessing a summary of the exchanges, is very practical for day-to-day use.

Dynamique P.

Ideal when you need several switchboards in several countries.

Nicolas J.

For me, it’s a good choice. Everything works very well according to my initial requirements. I appreciate that the teams are competent, pleasant and above all contactable. The level of software customization is also a good point. For me, it’s a promise kept.

Scott T.

Ringover gives me a professional line. I can access the recordings of all my calls and integrate them into my CRM. This allows me to return to a call for customer follow-up.

Nacéra B.

I use Ringover for my job. The tool is very easy, intuitive and convenient to use on a daily basis. As an administrator, I can easily filter according to the lines used for the study of statistics. Finally, the technical support is very reactive and efficient to answer my questions to perfect my use or during incident reports. I recommend it.

Nicolas T.

The Ringover phone application stands out for its impressive efficiency. Its dialer is particularly notable for its ease of use and high reliability.
In addition to these features, the application offers a complete call list, a fast call forwarding function, a powerful switchboard and the ability to send SMS and quick text messages. It also has an internal chat function, a powerdialer (automatic call) as well as external messengers such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, mail and Google avis. All of these features make Ringover an extremely complete and highly reliable application.
