We’re back on our old phone number

James Miodonski 2nd of April 2020

The process of porting our phone number across from our office based Samsung VOIP system to the shiny new cloud-based one was scheduled to take about a week, so to allow us to still be fully contactable as soon as possible we moved to a temporary number.

The heroes at Zen who look after our phone and fibre lines managed to get this switched over ahead of schedule and we’re back in business on the traditional number – 01461 205437. We’ve had this one for almost 8 years and are quite attached to it.

What we’re now using

For anybody interested in such things, we’ve to Zoom Phone.

We ditched our traditional desk phones in place of software and Bluetooth headsets. We invested in a set of of good quality headsets and noise-cancelling headphones so our team can comfortably use them all day.

So that’s all there is to it: a Zoom account, the app installed and a headset to take calls on.

Does it work?

So far, so good.

Calls are flowing in and out and we’ve all just about got the hang of it (sorry to anybody who got inadvertently cut-off while we tried to transfer you whilst we were working out where the levers are).
