Common Questions

Everything you need to know about the transition to modern voice services.

What exactly is the 'Copper Sunset'?
It refers to the national retirement of legacy analog phone lines (POTS). Carriers are no longer required to maintain these aging copper networks, leading to rapid price increases and decreased reliability for traditional landlines.
Is VoIP reliable enough for emergency services?
Yes. Our systems are fully compliant with **Kari’s Law** and the **RAY BAUM’S Act**, ensuring that 911 dispatchers receive precise location data (building, floor, or room number) automatically.
Can I keep my current office phone numbers?
Absolutely. We handle the entire 'porting' process to move your existing business numbers over to our digital infrastructure with zero downtime.
Do I need to replace all my physical desk phones?
Not necessarily. While modern IP phones offer better features, we can often use **ATAs (Analog Telephone Adapters)** to connect your existing hardware to our digital network.
How does Cloud Faxing differ from traditional faxing?
Cloud Faxing removes the need for a dedicated phone line and toner. It’s HIPAA-compliant, allowing you to send and receive secure documents via email or a web portal while keeping your same fax number.
What happens to my phones if the internet goes down?
We configure 'Automatic Failover' for every client. If your office internet drops, calls are instantly routed to your mobile app or a backup number of your choice. Your customers will never hear a busy signal or a 'disconnected' tone.
I've heard VoIP calls can sound 'choppy' or drop out. How do you prevent this?
Poor call quality is usually caused by unmanaged network traffic. We implement **Quality of Service (QoS)** rules on your router, which gives voice data a 'priority lane' over other internet usage like video streaming or large file downloads.
Does VoIP work with my existing security system or elevator phone?
Many legacy alarm panels and elevator phones require a specialized 'cellular bridge' or an ATA to meet fire code. During our free audit, we identify these life-safety lines to ensure they remain 100% compliant during the digital transition.
