Business Phone System in Plymouth, Saltash and the Tamar Valley

If your firm wants a business phone system in Plymouth that keeps yards, offices and site crews talking from the Hoe to the Tamar, then give us a shout. Our team has decades of experience, and your callers will hear a friendly voice and reach the right person without delay.

Conversations sound clear, and callers are routed exactly as you have requested. Answer at a desk handset, in Microsoft Teams, via our app or on a laptop, at Royal William Yard, at Derriford or at home in Plymstock.

Plymouth firms can reach our friendly UK support line on 01752 427262.

A VoIP Provider in Plymouth for Yards, Offices and Labs

Plymouth firms seldom change phone supplier, and with yards, offices and site teams to keep in touch, the move must go smoothly. A reliable VoIP provider in Plymouth leaves your 01752 numbers in place and keeps your crews connected throughout.

VoIP carries your calls over your broadband and retires the copper pair, and suppliers may sell it as a hosted PBX. Staff can pick up in the office, on the quay or at home.

Check that porting is free, that phones arrive configured and that the engineers who built your setup answer the support line. Blake Telecom does all three for firms around the Sound as their VoIP provider in Plymouth.

The Barbican to Derriford: Plymouth Firms We Support

We look after marine engineers at Turnchapel, estate agents on Mutley Plain, software teams at Derriford and caterers on the Barbican, and we make sure each business phone system in Plymouth fits your working day.

First we ask who answers, which site they work at and which systems they already use. Choosing between phone systems in Plymouth should be simple, and our advice is short and friendly.

Sites in Saltash, Ivybridge and Plympton can share one business phone system in Plymouth. A call taken on the Barbican can go to Plympton in one click.

These features are the ones Plymouth firms ask about most.

One 01752 Number, From Devonport to the Doorstep

An 01752 number tells callers you work in and around Plymouth. Once the port is approved, we move it to our network on a day picked to avoid disrupting your customers.

Porting your 01752 numbers across is free of charge.

After the move, one call can ring a desk at Langage, a laptop at home in Saltash and a mobile on a ship at Devonport, and your customers still recognise the number when you call them.

A fitter aboard a ship at Devonport and a bookkeeper at home in Plympton can both take 01752 calls on the app.

When you ring customers, they see the Plymouth office number, never somebody’s own mobile.

✓ Keep your Plymouth 01752 number
✓ Link dockyard, office and home staff
✓ Pick up on a PC or mobile
✓ Decide when your number moves

Cloud Phones, Explained the Plymouth Way

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) sends your calls over broadband as data and replaces the old copper landline.

Calls sound crisp, which is why VoIP phone systems in Plymouth now serve offices, yards and shops, and our VoIP guide covers the essentials.

UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) gives your business calling, video, chat and a shared staff list in one app. The UCaaS page has the full story.

Imagine a customer in Saltash calling your business phone system in Plymouth about a repair date.

Inside the app, your receptionist can message the workshop, pass the caller to service or start a video chat, and an AI note logs the date your team booked.

CCaaS, which brings the contact centre tools, is made for busy booking offices, repair counters and sales floors with phones ringing all day.

You get queues, routing by expertise, wallboards and call grading, and you can read a plain summary of each tool via our UCaaS and CCaaS solutions link.

Most Plymouth firms start with UCaaS, and if summer ferry traffic or a growing service desk calls for it, your business phone system in Plymouth can add contact centre features on the same contract.

UCaaS, CCaaS or a mix of the two? Pick up the phone and we will lay the options out side by side for your Plymouth team.

Getting the Most From a Business Phone System in Plymouth

A chandlery at Mayflower Marina, a vet in Plympton and a fabrication shop at Estover all want something different from a business phone system in Plymouth, and we only switch on the tools you will use.

  • Auto Attendant (IVR)

    Your callers get a short, friendly welcome and choose an option for sales, service or accounts.

  • Call Queues

    When your lines are busy, callers wait their turn with music or messages, and you choose the longest wait and the message played after hours.

  • Call Routing

    Your rules steer each call to one colleague, the right department or the next office along, depending on the time and who is free.

  • Mobile and Desktop Calling

    Reps visiting clients over the Tamar answer your business line on their mobiles, and we can add business mobiles for the road.

  • Call Recording

    Plymouth firms record calls for training, service checks and complaint handling. Plymouth recordings are kept on warm storage for a single month (or six, if you prefer), then move to a cold archive kept for a decade.

  • CRM Integration

    Link a supported CRM, and the Plymouth caller’s record opens before anyone answers.

  • Microsoft Teams Integration

    If your team works in Microsoft Teams, direct routing brings your 01752 numbers right inside it.

  • Support From People Who Know Your Setup

    Ring 01752 427262 for a helping hand from a friendly UK-based engineer.

  • 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.

Supporting Plymouth’s Busiest Phone Teams

Ferry operators, housing groups and health services in Plymouth run busy phone teams. If your lines get that busy, we can plug queues and wallboards into the account you already have.

A wallboard shows supervisors who is waiting, the longest wait, today’s answer rate and which agents are free. You can see more on the contact centre solutions page.

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

    Your agents handle voice calls, emails, chats and social media from a single view.

  • Skills-Based Routing

    Callers are put through to the agent most qualified for their query.

  • Live Wallboards

    Supervisors can watch callers waiting in real time and listen silently, whisper guidance or join the conversation.

  • Forecasting, Rotas and Call Scoring

    Your shift plans follow real call levels, and call scores show who could use a little extra coaching.

  • Bulk Reminders and Updates

    Send ferry news and service alerts to your customers in one go while your agents keep talking.

  • On-Screen Agent Prompts

    Helpful on-screen scripts support new agents with unusual calls.

  • Searchable Call Recordings

    Your managers can search past recordings by day or number and listen back.

  • AI Receptionist and Call Summaries

    An AI receptionist answers routine Plymouth calls, passes callers on and writes up a short summary.

Moving Plymouth Firms Onto the New System

Callers see no change during the preparation, and we begin by gathering your staff list, the 01752 numbers, details of your broadband and the hours you open.

1

Talking Through Your Yards and Offices

We talk through your phones, your call flow and which staff should pick up.

2

Built in Advance, Then Posted to Plymouth

Our engineers build each user, group and route and test them before a handset is shipped.

3

Phones That Ring the Day They Arrive

Your handsets are programmed in advance and ring the moment they are online.

4

Porting the Plymouth Numbers

On the planned day, your 01752 numbers switch over, and your callers notice nothing.

5

Getting Staff Up to Speed Quickly

Your staff get a short, friendly training session covering the features in their routine.

Almost all the preparation happens before the equipment leaves us, the switch is brief, and our engineers take care of each technical step.

Would you prefer the switch done out of hours? Agree the timing with us and we will stick to it.

A Business Phone System in Plymouth for Marine, Defence and Service Firms

Plymouth marine, defence and service firms work with customers across the South West and beyond, and their people move between dockyards, offices, workshops and home.

We put those teams on one number with one staff list, and callers can be connected to a desk on Royal Parade, a workshop at Estover or a home office in Plymstock.

  • Dockyard, Office and Workshop Connected

    Sites at Devonport, Langage and Estover share extensions, and a click transfers a caller from one to another.

  • Calls That Travel With Your Engineers

    Engineers answer the 01752 line through the app, and colleagues can see when they are on a vessel or a site.

  • Routing for Orders and Repairs

    Order, repair and billing enquiries reach the right team immediately.

  • One Team for All Your Sites

    Your Plymouth sites and any branches elsewhere are all looked after by one friendly UK support team.

Plymouth’s Move Over to Cloud Phones

Plymouth firms comparing telephone systems in Plymouth usually point to three things.

Hybrid working. A practice manager working from home in Ivybridge answers the office line, with the shared directory and call history on a laptop.

Business continuity. A storm or power cut at your office does not need to silence your phones. Calls are diverted to mobiles or the Plympton branch, and no spare system is needed.

Voicemail to email. Missed calls turn into audio files in your inbox, ready to hear between jobs on the quay.

Plymouth Firms and the Copper Network Shutdown

Copper phone lines are switched off across the UK on 31 January 2027. Yards, offices and shops in Plymouth may still have alarms, lift phones, dock gates and card machines running on copper, and it is worth listing them now.

A hosted business phone system in Plymouth starts life with routing, voicemail and the apps already working.

We check your connection, list devices still using copper and arrange the switch for a quiet period. Eligible 01752 numbers normally move with you, and the suppliers of your alarms and card machines can tell you what their devices require.

We have found both their systems and support to be fully robust, and they have given an excellent service throughout, with value for money for their products. Their approach to helping our business has always been excellent from every aspect and I would highly recommend their services.
T. JaggerManaging Director
Blake Telecom have been paramount to the growth of our business by continuing to offer our business the very highest level of service. The equipment we have been supplied has been extremely flexible, allowing us to adapt as our needs change. Blake Telecom’s knowledge and expertise have been very professional, and we look forward to working together on our future projects.
S. FerryOperations Director
Blake Telecom have revolutionised the way we operate. They have gone the extra mile in making the setup process painless, and it was easy to install. Any questions are dealt with quickly and efficiently, and the staff are a pleasure to deal with. I truly wish we had found them years ago. We recommend Blake Telecom to many of our suppliers and even customers whenever we can.
W. McKiernanDirector
When we moved to rural office space, without the benefit of reasonable broadband speed or any telephony services in place, Blake Telecom directed us to alternatives, and the solution we have is excellent. 4G Wi-Fi VoIP serves our current needs and situation perfectly. The team were succinct in their explanation of what we could achieve, providing something promptly and getting this set up with minimum fuss and delay.

Safe Phone Lines for Plymouth Schools and Trusts

Schools and academy trusts in Plymouth take calls from parents about attendance, health and safeguarding. Those conversations involve children’s information, which carries the highest level of care.

Pupil Information Protected. Anything a parent tells the school office is processed under UK GDPR, held in UK data centres, and parents’ evenings over video are encrypted.

Standards for Public Bodies. Plymouth schools get a platform with ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and SOC 2 credentials, along with the government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme.

Trips and Dinner Money. Parents covering a school trip by phone use PCI DSS compliant capture, and office staff never see the card.

Recording Where Appropriate. Schools can choose which lines use VoIP call recording, with recordings lasting 30 days, six months, or a ten-year archive.
