A Mobile landline

During the past few days, we have been getting exiting over our Mobile SIM cards. We are now able to provide mobile phone related services as well as our VOIP based switchboards. Or should I say a mobile phone service with a difference...

Our phone package is very unique. The phone can tag on as an internal extension to your switchboard, have the ability to transfer calls to and from the mobile phone, you can choose a landline direct number as well as make calls from your main office number.

During our testing I tagged our handset on to the Firbanks switchboard. I initially had to purchase a basic unlocked handset for testing purposes. The Nokia 2730 was perfect for the job as it has 3G capabilities (3G is required for our SIMS). I provisions our handset in a similar way to that of a traditional mobile phone operater, assigned it a phone number and tariff.

I had to say that initially I was anxious over the coverage. You see, our phones use the 3G part of the three and t-mobile networks. The coverage checkers explained that our office post-code did not have coverage. From field testing the phone, all locations have had superb coverage and the system has functioned every time. I am able to send and receive text messages, add the mobile to our office hunt group with the ability to answer remotely and then transfer the call to a colleague's extension. Call quality has been top-notch too. The mobile data can function at speeds of up to 14.4mbs and the cost of the service is also very reasonable.

If you are interested in this type of service or require a demonstration then please contact us at http://www.firbanks.com to arrange a visit. I'm sure that this product can assist a lot of users and fills a huge gap in the market. I am exited that Firbanks IT are able to provide such a product and training directly and for such a reasonable price.
