Finding a VoIP Provider in Chesterfield You Can Trust

Chesterfield businesses usually stay with a phone supplier for years, and when they do move, it needs to go smoothly. A trusted VoIP provider in Chesterfield keeps your 01246 numbers in place and lets your staff carry on while it all happens.

VoIP takes your calls off the old copper line and runs them over the internet instead, and you may hear people call it cloud telephony or a hosted PBX. Calls can be picked up at a desk, on a laptop or on a mobile.

Before you sign, ask if number porting is free, if the phones turn up ready and if the people on the support line built your setup. As your VoIP provider in Chesterfield, Blake Telecom can answer yes to each one.

If you would like a Chesterfield number to go with the system, take a look at our page on 01246 Chesterfield phone numbers.

From Markham Vale to the Market Square: Who We Help

We look after distribution and engineering firms on Markham Vale, shops around the market and offices at Chesterfield Waterside, along with businesses in Dronfield, Staveley, Bolsover and Clay Cross. Each business phone system in Chesterfield we set up follows the way your team works.

With a business phone system in Chesterfield, your sites around the town can share one 01246 number and one phone directory, and a call to your town centre office can be answered in Staveley or passed straight to a colleague in Clay Cross.

Our first questions are practical ones: who answers, where your people are based and what software they use day to day. Choosing between phone systems in Chesterfield should be easy to follow, and we make sure it stays that way.

Read about the features of a business phone system in Chesterfield further down.

Answer Your 01246 Number From the Office, the Depot or Home

Your 01246 number is part of how customers find you. Where porting is available, we move it onto your new cloud system on a date agreed with you.

Porting your 01246 numbers across is free of charge.

From then on, it can ring handsets, laptops and mobiles together, and your callers still see your Chesterfield number.

At a desk near the market, at Markham Vale or working from home in Dronfield, your staff can all answer your 01246 number through the mobile or desktop app.

Your customers see your Chesterfield business number when you ring them, never a personal mobile, which keeps things professional.

✓ Keep your 01246 number where porting is available
✓ Connect the town centre, Markham Vale and home workers
✓ Pick up on the desktop or mobile app
✓ Agree the day your number moves

Cloud Phone Talk, Translated for Chesterfield

VoIP is short for Voice over Internet Protocol, which means calls travel over the internet rather than a copper phone line.

Your callers cannot tell the difference, and firms from the town centre to Markham Vale have been moving to VoIP phone systems in Chesterfield because of it. Our guide to what VoIP means explains the rest.

UCaaS stands for Unified Communications as a Service, and it gathers calls, video meetings, messaging and your staff directory into one app. Visit our UCaaS page for the full picture.

CCaaS stands for Contact Centre as a Service, and it suits teams who spend most of their time looking after customers.

Think queues, routing by skill, live wallboards and a score for each call. You will find the full list on our UCaaS and CCaaS solutions page.

Your Business Phone System in Chesterfield, Feature by Feature

Warehouses on Markham Vale, shops near the market and Waterside offices all use their phones in their own way, and we pick the features to suit your hours. Voicemail to email, business texts and presence, which shows who is free, are all available.

  • Auto Attendant (IVR)

    Callers hear a short, friendly menu and choose sales, accounts or the warehouse themselves.

  • Call Queues

    At busy times, callers wait their turn in an orderly queue, and you decide how long they wait, what they hear and when the rules change.

  • Call Routing

    Routing rules you set decide if a call goes to one person, a whole team or another site.

  • Mobile and Desktop Calling

    The app puts your business number on laptops and mobiles, which is useful for staff visiting customers around Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. Business mobiles are available too.

  • Call Recording

    Recording calls helps with training, disputes and compliance. Recordings are stored in warm storage for 30 days, or up to 180 days on request, and cold storage can keep them for ten years.

  • CRM Integration

    With a supported CRM, the caller’s record appears on screen as the phone rings.

  • Microsoft Teams Integration

    Already using Microsoft Teams? Direct routing lets your staff handle 01246 calls without leaving it.

    Our friendly UK-based support team is on 01246 956606. They look after the platform and make changes whenever you need them.

    Security is built in, with the platform running on infrastructure certified to Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. To find out more, see the NCSC overview and IASME’s certification guide.

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

Queues and Live Wallboards for Chesterfield Teams

Chesterfield Royal Hospital, town centre retailers and distribution firms near the M1 all run busy phone lines. If your own volumes keep climbing, we can turn on queues and a live wallboard on the same platform.

Supervisors can see the number of waiting callers and the longest wait, along with service levels and each agent’s status as calls come and go. The contact centre solutions page shows it in action.

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

    Phone, email, web chat and social enquiries all join a single line-up, and your agents answer them in order.

  • Skills-Based Routing

    Callers are routed to the person with the right skills, not just the next free line.

  • Live Wallboards

    Supervisors can watch waiting times on a live screen and drop into a call to help.

  • Forecasting, Rotas and Call Scoring

    Your call history shapes the rotas, and call scoring shows where a bit of extra coaching would pay off.

  • Bulk Reminders and Updates

    Order updates and reminders can go out to customers in a single batch, which keeps your agents free for incoming calls.

  • On-Screen Agent Prompts

    Helpful suggested answers appear on screen during a live call, which really helps newer staff.

  • Searchable Call Recordings

    Need to check what was promised on a call last month? Search the recordings and play it back in seconds.

  • AI Receptionist and Call Summaries

    An AI receptionist handles routine questions and puts callers through, and summaries of each call are written for you.

What Is Moving Chesterfield Firms Onto Cloud Phones

More and more telephone systems in Chesterfield now run in the cloud, and it usually comes down to three things.

Hybrid working. Someone answering on the mobile app at home in Brimington has the same number, contacts and call history as a colleague at the office.

Business continuity. When the office loses power or its line, your phones keep going. Incoming calls divert to mobiles or a second site, which gives you disaster recovery without a spare system.

Voicemail to email. A missed call drops into your inbox as a message you can play on a laptop or phone, wherever you happen to be.

Chesterfield and the Big Copper Switch-Off

The old analogue network switches off on 31 January 2027. Before then, check anything still plugged into a phone line: alarm diallers, lift phones, door entry and card machines as well as desk phones.

With cloud calling, your calls use broadband, and routing, voicemail and the apps are ready to use immediately.

We will check your broadband, find any equipment still tied to copper and time the move around your working week. Eligible 01246 numbers can normally move with you, and the companies behind your alarms and card machines can confirm what they need to do.
