12 Managed Phone Services

Traditional phones restrict your business flexibility and efficiency: tying you down to an expensive one-off capital purchase, high call charges and ISDN line rentals, and often costly upgrades and maintenance. Moreover, standard phone systems run parallel to, rather than integrate with, your IT network, so complicating and cluttering your operations and offices.

At Trident, our all-inclusive managed IP phone plans answer all these challenges head on. By carrying calls over the internet and providing feature-rich call functionality and services for a fixed monthly price per user, they offer a hassle free and cost-saving alternative to standard phones for all sizes of business.

Simple-but-smart all-inclusive phone plans

Our all-inclusive managed plans include everything from system configuration to suit your business to installation, training, updates, and troubleshooting all followed by ongoing support, hardware replacement and reconfiguration as and when they’re needed.

What’s more, they come with favourable UK and international call rates, helping your business make significant call savings. Advantages can include free UK calls, unlimited free calls to UK mobiles and low-cost international call rates.

It all builds into a smart-yet-simple end-to-end package that revolutionises your phone: enhancing caller experience and call management, reducing your call charges, cutting hassle and streamlining your IT and communications network, all for a predictable monthly cost.

We also manage the entire migration from your old phones, providing your required telephone numbers and porting from your previous system to ensure a seamless transition. In addition, we incorporate a managed backup and disaster recovery service, enabling you to fully restore key services within hours, rather than days.
