What is Hosted Telephony?
Hosted telephony, also referred to as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or cloud telephony, is where your phone system is hosted on internet-based servers with no physical location, referred to as the cloud, rather than in your office or premise.
Since it’s based in the cloud, it removes the need for costly physical hardware on-site and analogue or ISDN business phone lines. Instead, your phone system essentially becomes a piece of software that only needs a stable internet connection to function.
Moving from analogue to hosted telephony is one of the common technology transitions for businesses. With many business interactions now being virtual, businesses need a solution that gives flexibility to both staff and customers.

Having dual security measures from both the provider and the end user means hosted systems are usually more secure than on-premise telephone systems. We work with our customers to ensure the right security procedures are in place.
Setting up hosted telephony can be simple, since there are no physical cables to install and connect.
To get started, all you need is a stable internet connection. In terms of the actual installation process, hosted telephony options are often ‘plug and play’ once they’ve been configured, so they also can be moved about easily – handy if you need to be flexible with where you are working.
Since hosted telephony sends data through the internet, you’ll need a stable connection to support a hosted system.
Without this, it’s likely your call quality will be impacted. Fortunately, Excalibur specialise in a range of reliable, dedicated connectivity services.
What are the benefits of Hosted Telephony?
✓ Future-Ready Communications
With BT stating that all ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) services related to PBX systems will be switched off in 2025, it’s essential that businesses find a VoIP solution that can continue to support their communications requirements. A hosted telephony solution is the perfect solution that will continue to develop as the technology does.
✓ Easy Integration with Business Software
Hosted telephony enables you to integrate your phone system with a number of key office softwares such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook and CRMs like HubSpot.
You can record calls, track when the call began, and take calls from within Teams without the need for a physical phone.
✓ Scalable at Speed
Since hosted telephony is cloud-based, additional users can be added instantly. This is a huge advantage for small and growing businesses, or any organisation going through a significantly busy period, such as the run-up to Christmas.
VoIP is also ideal for those who rent their business premises, because your numbers and devices aren’t tied to one physical location.
✓ Cost-effective
Traditionally, one of the main problems SMEs faced when investing in a new phone system has been the large initial cost. Now businesses can install a hosted telephony system without any expensive capital expenditure. Instead, they pay a monthly fixed fee, which can be much more manageable – especially for smaller organisations looking to manage cash flow.
✓ Reliable
There’s a common misconception that you need ultra-fast internet connectivity in order to use VoIP as your primary channel of communications, this is not the case. Providing you have a stable data connection in place, hosted telephony is a very reliable service.
Unlike physical systems, hosted telephony isn’t susceptible to natural disasters like flood, fire and theft. Should anything go wrong, backup datacentres with recovery procedures in place can make sure your systems stay up and running.
✓ Flexible
With the increased demand for remote or hybrid working, the ability to give your staff flexibility is one of the biggest benefits to a hosted telephony system. With hosted telephony, you can access your business phone number from anywhere with an internet connection, from multiple devices.
It’s also possible to make it look like staff are calling from certain locations (even if they’re not) – handy for those working from home but still using their usual line, or remote workers who need to look like local agents.
