When you need a business phone system in Corby that keeps pace with round-the-clock shifts and busy loading bays, give our team a ring. We have decades of experience in business phones, and we will make sure your callers always reach a friendly voice instead of a ringing phone.
Each call arrives clear as day and goes straight to the right place. Pick up on a desk phone, in Microsoft Teams, through the app or at a laptop, in the office at Earlstrees, on the warehouse floor at Oakley Hay or at home in Weldon.
Got a question? You will find our friendly UK-based team on 01536 218111.
Corby firms only switch phone supplier now and again, and a busy warehouse or office cannot afford a messy changeover. A dependable VoIP provider in Corby keeps your 01536 numbers where they are and your team working through the move.
VoIP puts your calls on the internet in place of a copper phone line, and some people call it cloud telephony or a hosted PBX. Your staff can take calls on a desk set, a laptop or a smartphone.
Ask any supplier three things: is porting free, will the handsets be ready to plug in and who answers the support line? As your VoIP provider in Corby, Blake Telecom ports at no charge, sends phones ready to go and puts you through to the engineers who configured them.

We look after logistics operators off Stamford Road, manufacturers on Earlstrees and Oakley Hay and shops around Willow Place, and each business phone system in Corby we install is shaped around how your team actually works.
We start with a few simple questions. Who picks up, which sites do you run and what software is open all day? Comparing phone systems in Corby should never need a glossary, and we keep the jargon out of it.
Your offices and sites in Kettering, Rothwell, Thrapston, Oundle and Uppingham can all run on one business phone system in Corby, and a call that reaches Earlstrees can be passed to Kettering in two clicks.
The features section further down lists what a business phone system in Corby can do for you.
Your customers have dialled your 01536 number for years, and it should stay yours. Where porting is possible, we move it to the cloud platform on a date that suits you.
Porting your 01536 numbers across is free of charge.
Once it has moved, a single incoming call can ring office handsets, laptops and staff mobiles, and your caller still sees a Corby number.
At a desk on Earlstrees, at a depot near Magna Park or working from home in Weldon, your team can answer your 01536 number from the mobile or desktop app.
Your customers see your Corby number on the call, never a personal mobile, which keeps conversations professional.
With VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, your voice is sent as data across the internet and not along an old copper line.
For your callers nothing changes, which is why firms from the town centre to Magna Park are choosing VoIP phone systems in Corby. Our guide to what VoIP means covers the detail.
UCaaS is short for Unified Communications as a Service. It brings your phone calls, video, instant messaging and staff directory into one app, and our UCaaS page goes into more detail.
Suppose a buyer calls the 01536 number on your business phone system in Corby to check an order.
The colleague who takes the call can ask the works office over chat, send the call to the warehouse or bring a manager onto video, all from one window, and a short AI summary follows once the call ends.
CCaaS is short for Contact Centre as a Service, and it is made for teams whose working day revolves around customer calls.
You get call queues, live wallboards, routing by skill and call scoring, and everything is listed on the UCaaS and CCaaS solutions page.

Local firms moving their telephone systems in Corby to the cloud tend to give three reasons.
Hybrid working. A colleague working from home in Weldon uses the same number, contact list and call log as someone in the office.
Business continuity. A power cut or broken line at the office no longer stops your phones. Calls divert to mobiles or another site, giving you disaster recovery without paying for a spare system.
Voicemail to email. A missed call becomes an emailed recording you can play on the shop floor or at home.
