Having a reliable and flexible phone system is more important than ever.
One solution that has grown in popularity over the last decade is hosted telephony. But what exactly is it, and why are so many businesses making the switch? Let’s break it down.
Hosted telephony explained
Hosted telephony is a modern alternative to traditional phone systems. Instead of using a private telephone systems with equipment on site, your phone system is hosted in the cloud. That means your calls are made over the internet using a technology called VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).
Put simply, your business phones connect to a secure data centre operated by a provider like Fidelity Group, which manages all the behind the scenes infrastructure. You still use desk phones, softphones (computers with headsets for example) or mobile apps – but all the technology powering them is cloud based.
Why it matters for your business
One of the biggest advantages of hosted telephony is flexibility. Whether your team is in the office, working remotely or on the move, they can make and receive calls from anywhere with an internet connection.
It’s also scalable. As your business grows, adding new users or locations is quick and easy – no need for expensive hardware upgrades.
And then there’s cost. Hosted systems typically come with lower upfront costs and predictable monthly pricing. You avoid the capital expense of traditional systems and pay only for what you use.

- Professional image – Use features like auto attendants, call forwarding and voicemail to email
