What is a Virtual Phone System?
The Talkroute virtual phone system is a phone system that is not physically located on-site but is instead managed in the cloud. Since your virtual phone system is located off-site, there is no expensive equipment to purchase or maintain.
With a virtual phone system, your business will have the flexibility to register local and toll free phone numbers as needed, route calls to your existing phones, send and receive text messages, and manage voice messages online, by email, and from your phones.
You will find that a virtual phone solution is far more cost effective and feature rich compared to a traditional on-site PBX system. Most Talkroute customers save hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars per year by switching to our virtual phone service. Best of all, Talkroute’s enterprise level features ensure that we will scale with you as your business continues to grow.

Virtual Phone System FAQ
Freedom
Traditionally, you would be required to be in the same building as your team and seated at your desk in order to take business calls. If you wanted to check voicemail, you would need to dial-in from your extension and in order to send text messages, you would need to do so from a personal number.
Talkroute’s virtual phone system allows you are your team to be anywhere, on any device and still be able to communicate with your customers. Our desktop and mobile apps provides you with the ability to make calls and send text messages from your business number. You can also check voicemail from your PC, phone, email, and the online dashboard. If you receive a call on your cell phone and need to transfer it to another team member, department or voicemail box, you can do so with our live call transfer feature. Now everyone on your team can work where and how they want.
Ease of Use
Making adjustments to the settings and/or functionality of your office phone system, in the past, could be a huge hassle. If you wanted to add a phone as a forwarding number, change the number of rings, add music for callers on hold, or pretty much any other adjustment like this, then you might have to call your tech person or possibly contact your service provider to make the changes.
When you have a virtual phone system, on the other hand, you can quickly and easily make any of these adjustments directly from an online control panel. With Talkroute, you can add unlimited forwarding phone numbers, add audio messages or on-hold music for your call menu, manage voicemail, and everything else, right from your online dashboard.
Price
One of the most obvious advantages of using a virtual phone service is that it is far more cost-effective. High up front costs and dedicated IT resources are just a few of the major expenses you will face in order to get up and running with a traditional phone system.
With Talkroute there is no need to purchase any new equipment or hire someone to install software. Our solution works with the devices and phones that you already have.
Talkroute’s pricing starts at just $19 /mo (no additional taxes or fees) and includes a ton of great features, a local or toll free business number, and forwarding for as many phones as needed. Click the link to see a full breakdown of our plans & pricing.
