FAQS

Business Phone System - Your Questions Answered

The most common questions from UK & Irish SMEs

For most small businesses, a hosted VoIP or cloud phone system offers the best combination of cost, flexibility, and scalability. Systems like iPECS Cloud require no on-site hardware, include features like auto-attendant and mobile apps, and scale easily as your team grows — with no IT department required.
Cloud VoIP systems typically cost from around £6–£25 per user per month, depending on features and support. On-premise PBX systems involve a higher upfront hardware cost but lower ongoing fees. Yellowcom provides a free consultation and tailored quote based on your team size and requirements.
A traditional landline uses analogue copper wiring to carry voice calls. VoIP routes calls over your internet connection, enabling features like mobile apps, call recording, auto-attendant, and CRM integration — at significantly lower cost than legacy ISDN lines.
Yes. Openreach is switching off the UK's analogue PSTN and ISDN network by January 2027. Any business still using traditional landlines or ISDN systems must migrate to VoIP or a cloud phone system before then. Yellowcom can assess your current setup and manage the transition with no disruption to your business.
A cloud VoIP system can typically be set up within 1–5 business days for most SMEs, with no physical hardware installation required beyond handsets or headsets. On-premise PBX installations vary but Yellowcom's engineers handle everything from cabling to configuration and staff training.
Yes. Number porting lets you keep all your existing business phone numbers when moving to a new system. Yellowcom handles the porting process on your behalf, ensuring continuity with no change to your published numbers.
A hybrid phone system combines on-premise hardware with cloud capabilities. It allows businesses to retain their existing PBX investment while gradually adding cloud features — ideal for multi-site organisations or those planning a phased migration before the 2027 PSTN switch-off.
Yes. Yellowcom supports businesses across the UK and Ireland from offices in Belfast, Glasgow, and Dublin. Our local engineering teams handle on-site installation, configuration, and ongoing support — no offshore call centres.
Yes. Yellowcom offers Microsoft Teams Phone integration, allowing your team to make and receive external calls directly within Teams. Ideal for businesses already using Microsoft 365 who want to consolidate communications into a single platform.
Yellowcom builds resilience into every cloud phone system deployment. Options include 4G failover, call divert to mobiles, and redundant internet connections. In the event of connectivity issues, calls automatically route to team mobiles so your business stays reachable.
