Introduction: More Than Just a Dial Tone
Let’s be honest — business communication in 2025 isn’t just about picking up the phone and saying hello.
It’s about creating smooth, smart, and professional experiences for your customers and your team.
Whether you’re a startup working from a café in Shoreditch, or a growing company managing remote teams across the UK, your VoIP phone system has to do more than ring.
At Alphatalk, we work with businesses every day, and here’s what we believe: The right features make all the difference.
- Call Forwarding That Actually Works
You’re not always at your desk — and your customers don’t care. They just want their call answered.
Smart call forwarding routes calls to your mobile, a colleague, or even a voicemail — so no opportunities get missed.
> With Alphatalk, you control call routing in seconds from your dashboard.
- Voicemail to Email (Because We All Miss Calls)
Ever miss an important call during lunch or on the train?
With voicemail-to-email, you get the message in your inbox — written or as an audio file.
You won’t have to dig through your phone. It’s all organised, clear, and there when you need it.
- Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
Press 1 for Sales. Press 2 for Support.
Sound familiar? That’s IVR, and it makes even a small business feel well-organised and trustworthy.
> Bonus: With Alphatalk, you can customise your greeting to match your brand voice — even upload professional recordings.
- Call Recording
Training a new hire? Need to review a client conversation?
Call recording is a lifesaver for compliance, quality checks, and learning.
It’s also brilliant for resolving disputes — with a polite “let me check the recording,” you’re covered.
- Call Analytics & Reporting
Are you missing calls during peak hours? Which team member answers the fastest?
With call reports and analytics, you get real insights into how your business communicates — and how to improve it.
- Remote Access (For the Hybrid World)
In 2025, teams don’t just sit in one office.
They’re working from home, coffee shops, co-working spaces — even airports.
That’s why a good VoIP system needs to work on mobile, desktop, tablet, or browser. Alphatalk does all that — seamlessly.
- Time-Based Routing
Want to send calls to your mobile after 6pm or during weekends?
Time-based call routing makes it automatic. You set your working hours, and your system adjusts where calls go.
> It’s like having a personal assistant… without paying one.
- CRM Integration
If your team uses tools like Salesforce, Zoho, or HubSpot — integration with your VoIP system saves tons of time.
See caller info instantly. Log calls automatically. Track interactions all in one place.
Alphatalk integrates with most popular CRMs to make your life easier.
- Call Queues (No More Chaos)
When calls come flooding in, call queuing keeps everything calm and professional.
Customers hear music or a message while they wait, and your team stays in control — no frantic juggling of lines.
- Number Portability & Flexibility
Still holding onto your old number because you’re afraid of losing customers?
Don’t worry — you can bring your number with you.
Alphatalk lets you port your number or add new local/international numbers with ease — whether you’re growing or just rebranding.
Bonus: Local Support That Gets It
Tech is great. But support from a real human who understands your business? Even better.
Alphatalk is a UK-based team that picks up the phone when you need help — not a chatbot halfway across the globe.
