Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows you to make and receive phone calls over a secure internet connection instead of a standard phone line. With VoIP, the standard telephone audio is converted into a digital format that can be transmitted over the Internet versus a land wire.

Yes, you can transfer (port) your existing toll-free or local phone numbers to Iristel. Your sales representative will ask you to sign a Letter of Authorization (LOA) to approve the transfer of your numbers from your existing provider.

No additional telephone lines, PBX hardware, or installation are needed. Hosted PBX will work with any high-speed, stable Internet connection, and requires a minimum of 83 kbps of bandwidth per call. You just need a router that will make the Internet connection available to your phones/devices.

For the best voice quality, we recommend a router that is QoS (Quality of Service) enabled. By configuring your QoS router to prioritize the voice traffic over other Internet traffic, you’ll experience better voice quality when your Internet is being used for other activities. Our Account specialists will work directly with your IT staff to provide the appropriate router settings to guarantee optimal performance.

“Cloud-based” means that the infrastructure and network delivering the business phone and fax system is located in our multiple, secure data centers and delivered to your business over the Internet. You don’t need any capital investment and the hassle of installing and managing complex hardware in your office.

Yes, the Iristel service is encrypted with secure voice between endpoints on the network — including desk phones, conference phones, the Iristel mobile app and desktop app.
