Business Phone System in Scarborough and the Yorkshire Coast

A seafront hotel on the South Bay, an engineering firm at Scarborough Business Park and a fish merchant on the harbour can share one cloud business phone system in Scarborough. Front desks, laptops and mobiles all answer one 01723 number.

Most 01723 numbers can be ported, and colleagues in Filey, Seamer and Eastfield share a single contacts list. Coastal firms often add queues and call recording at launch, then bring in Microsoft Teams a few weeks later.

Scarborough businesses can call our UK support team on 01723 644244.

Choosing a VoIP Provider in Scarborough

With VoIP, Scarborough calls travel over broadband rather than the old phone wires. Some coastal IT firms describe it as cloud calling or hosted PBX.

Scarborough staff can answer at the front desk, from a laptop or with a smartphone app, and that app also covers chat and video.

As your VoIP provider in Scarborough, Blake Telecom handles the switch from the opening survey to support afterwards. We set up and test handsets before they make the trip to the coast, port your 01723 numbers and stay on hand from the UK.

Supporting Businesses Across Scarborough

In Scarborough our customers include guest houses on the North Bay, holiday park offices near Cayton, accountants on Falsgrave Road and boat yards by the harbour. Each business phone system in Scarborough must fit a very different season.

First we listen: who takes calls, which part of town they work in and which booking or accounts software they rely on. Picking between phone systems in Scarborough ought to be painless, and our advice stays short.

Sites in Filey, Seamer and Whitby can run on one business phone system in Scarborough. Reception on the seafront can send a caller to Filey with one click.

Below are the features Scarborough firms ask for most.

Keep Your Scarborough 01723 Number and Use It Anywhere in the World

An 01723 number tells guests and customers you are part of the Yorkshire coast. After the porting checks, it moves onto our network on a quiet day for your Scarborough callers.

Porting your 01723 numbers across is free of charge.

From then on, a call to 01723 can ring reception on the seafront, a laptop at home in Scalby and a mobile in the van at once. When you call back, people see the number they know.

A skipper at the harbour and a bookkeeper at home in Filey can both answer your 01723 number from the app.

Calls you make show your Scarborough business number, not a personal mobile.

✓ Keep your Scarborough 01723 number
✓ Link seafront, office and home staff
✓ Take calls on a laptop or phone
✓ Pick the day your number changes over

VoIP, UCaaS and CCaaS Explained

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) sends Scarborough calls as data across broadband and takes the place of copper phone lines.

Voices come through clearly. VoIP phone systems in Scarborough now serve hotels, shops and workshops, and the VoIP guide explains the essentials.

Scarborough teams on Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) get phone calls, video, instant messages and a staff list under one login. The UCaaS page goes into more detail.

Say a guest from Leeds rings your business phone system in Scarborough about a room change.

From that app, reception can message housekeeping, hand the call to bookings or switch to video. Afterwards, an AI summary logs what the Scarborough team offered.

Scarborough booking offices, holiday letting teams and order desks that ring all day often suit CCaaS, the contact centre part of the service.

On the Yorkshire coast, CCaaS equips guest services teams with caller queues, routing by topic, live wallboards and call reviews. The UCaaS and CCaaS solutions guide explains each tool for coastal firms.

Features of Your Business Phone System in Scarborough

A gift shop on Foreshore Road, a physio in Scalby and a joinery firm at Eastfield each use a business phone system in Scarborough differently. We set up just the tools each one needs.

  • Auto Attendant

    Scarborough callers get a warm greeting and press a key for bookings, sales or accounts.

  • Call Queues

    In peak season, Scarborough callers keep their place in line. You pick the hold music, a maximum wait and a message for after closing time.

  • Call Routing

    Rules you set decide where each Scarborough call goes: one person, a team or a second site, guided by the clock and the shift rota.

  • Mobile and Desktop Calling

    Staff visiting customers in Whitby take the Scarborough line on their phones. We can supply business mobiles too.

  • Call Recording

    Scarborough businesses record calls to train new seasonal staff, check service and settle complaints. Scarborough recordings stay on warm storage for one month (six if you prefer), then go into a cold archive held for ten years.

  • CRM Integration

    Connect a supported CRM, and the Scarborough guest or customer record opens as the phone rings.

  • Microsoft Teams Integration

    If you use Microsoft Teams, direct routing puts your 01723 numbers inside it.

  • Support From People Who Know Your Setup

    For help, ring 01723 644244 and talk to an engineer based in the UK.

  • Security and Compliance

    The platform runs on infrastructure certified to ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and Cyber Essentials Plus, and both the NCSC overview and IASME’s guidance explain what those schemes cover.

For illustration purposes only. Screens are examples and do not show real systems or data.

Contact Centre Tools for Scarborough Service Teams

Holiday parks, hotel groups and letting agencies on the Yorkshire coast field heavy call volumes each summer. If your Scarborough phones get that busy, queues and wallboards slot into your current account.

Scarborough team leaders get a wallboard with callers on hold, the longest wait, the day’s answer rate and free agents in one view. The contact centre solutions page explains more.

Talk to us about your contact centre
  • All Channels in a Single Queue

    From a single inbox, Scarborough agents deal with calls, emails, live chat and social replies.

  • Skills-Based Routing

    Each Scarborough enquiry goes to an agent who knows that topic well.

  • Live Wallboards

    Scarborough managers follow wait times live and can listen, coach in private or join in.

  • Forecasting, Rotas and Call Scoring

    Seasonal rotas in Scarborough match real call levels, and quality scores show where help is needed.

  • Bulk Reminders and Updates

    Booking reminders and weather updates go out to Scarborough guests in bulk, leaving agents to talk to callers.

  • On-Screen Agent Prompts

    On-screen prompts guide new Scarborough agents through unusual requests.

  • Searchable Call Recordings

    Scarborough managers can look up past calls by date or number and replay them.

  • AI Receptionist and Call Summaries

    An AI receptionist handles routine Scarborough calls, connects people to staff and writes a brief summary.

Built Around Scarborough Industries

Scarborough is often called Britain’s first seaside resort, thanks to the spa waters found here in the 1620s. Today it mixes tourism with fishing, food making, engineering and a university campus.

Visitors come for the castle headland, both bays and events listed by Visit Scarborough. We build each Scarborough system around how that business speaks to its guests and customers.

Hybrid working. A bookings manager at home in Scalby answers the Scarborough line on a laptop with each guest’s history to hand.

Business continuity. Storm damage to a Scarborough office connection need not stop calls. Calls divert to staff mobiles or the next nearest site, and no spare kit is needed.

Voicemail to email. Scarborough voicemails turn up in email as sound files, ready to hear between guests.

Preparing Your Scarborough Business for the PSTN Switch Off

Openreach will close the old analogue phone network on 31 January 2027. Hotels, shops and workshops in Scarborough often have alarms, lift lines, entry buzzers and card terminals wired to copper. Write them down now.

A hosted business phone system in Scarborough is ready with routing, voicemail and staff apps when you switch over.

We check the Scarborough line, note each device that still uses copper and time the switch outside the busy season where possible. Eligible 01723 numbers normally port. Before the switch, phone the firms behind each alarm and card terminal to confirm what they need.
