Our VoIP service in Liverpool
Understand How You Work
We don't sell phone systems — we solve communication problems. We start by understanding how your team actually works: who calls whom, how calls should be routed, what happens when someone's unavailable, and what integrations matter. Then we recommend the right solution for your Liverpool business.
Configure It Properly
A VoIP system is only as good as its setup. We configure call flows, auto-attendants, hunt groups, voicemail routing and user permissions properly from day one. We port your numbers, set up handsets and test everything end-to-end before go-live.
Support It Like IT
Unlike a telecoms company that disappears after installation, we're an IT company. Your phone system integrates with your network, your internet connection and your business applications — and we support all of it together, not in silos.
Liverpool businesses turn to us when
Their traditional phone system is unreliable, expensive to maintain and can't support remote or hybrid workers
They're paying too much for ISDN lines and call charges when VoIP would cost a fraction of the price
The ISDN switch-off is approaching and they need to move to an IP-based phone system before the deadline
They want to use Microsoft Teams for calling but don't know how to set up Teams Voice with external numbers
Their business has grown or added offices and their phone system can't scale without expensive hardware upgrades
They need their phone system integrated with their CRM so calls are logged automatically and customer data pops on screen
They're moving office and want a phone system that moves with them — without engineers and rewiring
Their current provider takes days to add a new user or change a call route — they need a system that's instant and flexible
They want call recording, analytics and reporting but their current phone system doesn't support any of it
How it works
From first conversation to live phone system, we manage the entire process so the switch is seamless for your team.
1
Discovery & Recommendation
We assess your current phone setup, call volumes, team structure and remote working requirements. We check your broadband is suitable for VoIP and recommend the right system — hosted VoIP, Teams Voice or SIP trunking.
2
Configuration & Number Porting
We configure your entire phone system — call flows, auto-attendant menus, hunt groups, voicemail, user permissions and CRM integrations. We port your existing numbers so customers call the same number as before.
3
Handset Setup & Training
We pre-configure IP handsets, install softphone apps on laptops and mobiles, and provide hands-on training for your team. Everyone knows how to use the new system before we switch it on.
4
Go-Live & Ongoing Support
We manage the cutover to minimise disruption, monitor the system post-launch and provide ongoing technical support. Need a new user added, a call flow changed or a handset replaced? One call to us.
Why choose Cloudswitched for VoIP in Liverpool?
We're not a telecoms reseller that sells you a system and disappears. We're an IT company that understands how your phone system fits into your wider technology stack — your network, your internet connection, your Microsoft 365 environment and your CRM.
When we set up your VoIP system, we're thinking about call quality (is your broadband fast enough?), security (is your firewall configured for SIP traffic?), integration (does it connect to your CRM?) and user experience (can your team actually use it?). Most telecoms providers don't think about any of that.
Through our partnership with Fidelity Group, you get access to the Horizon hosted telephony platform — one of the UK's most reliable and feature-rich VoIP platforms. But unlike going direct, you also get our IT expertise layered on top — proper network configuration, QoS settings, firewall rules and integrated support.
Whether you need a straightforward hosted VoIP system for a small team or a full Microsoft Teams Voice deployment across multiple offices, we'll design the right solution, manage the migration and keep everything running.
We hold deep expertise across hosted VoIP, SIP trunking and Microsoft Teams Voice integration. Our team configures every system from scratch — no cookie-cutter templates, no shortcuts. Every call flow, hunt group and auto-attendant is built around how your business actually operates.
And because we work with businesses across London and the UK, we understand the connectivity landscape in Liverpool. We know which broadband providers deliver reliable service for VoIP and how to configure your network for crystal-clear call quality.
Why Cloudswitched for VoIP?
IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.
IT company, not a telecoms reseller
We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.
One point of contact
Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.
CRM integration done right
We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.
Right system, not the most expensive
If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.
Network-first approach
We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.
Fraud protection included
VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.
Seamless number porting
We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Hybrid & remote ready
Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.
Scales instantly
Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about business VoIP and phone systems? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more detail, get in touch.
What's the difference between hosted VoIP and a traditional phone system?
Traditional phone systems use a physical PBX box on your premises connected to ISDN lines. Hosted VoIP moves everything to the cloud — calls route through secure data centres over your internet connection. No hardware to maintain, lower costs, more features and works from anywhere.
Can I keep my existing phone numbers?
Yes. We port your existing numbers to the new VoIP system so your customers, website and marketing materials don't need to change. The porting process typically takes 1-2 weeks and we manage it entirely on your behalf.
How much does business VoIP cost?
Hosted VoIP typically costs £8-£15 per user per month depending on features and call bundles. Microsoft Teams Voice is similar. Most businesses save 30-50% compared to traditional ISDN-based phone systems. We'll provide a clear quote based on your user count and requirements.
Is VoIP call quality as good as a landline?
With a properly configured network and sufficient broadband, VoIP call quality is indistinguishable from a traditional landline — often better. We configure QoS settings to prioritise voice traffic and test call quality before go-live to ensure it meets business standards.
What happens if my internet goes down?
We configure failover routing so calls automatically redirect to mobile phones or an alternative number if your internet drops. For businesses where phones are critical, we can also set up a 4G/5G backup broadband connection through our connectivity service.
Do I need special phones for VoIP?
You'll need IP handsets (we supply and configure these) or softphone apps on your computers and mobile phones. If you're using Microsoft Teams Voice, you can use your existing Teams app — no additional hardware required unless you want desk handsets.
What is SIP trunking and do I need it?
SIP trunking connects your existing on-premises PBX to the internet instead of traditional ISDN lines. It's the right choice if you have a PBX you're happy with but want lower call costs, disaster recovery and flexibility. If you don't have an existing PBX, hosted VoIP or Teams Voice is usually the better option.
Can VoIP integrate with my CRM?
Yes. Our hosted VoIP platform integrates with over 200 CRM and business applications including Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho and Microsoft Dynamics. When a customer calls, their record pops up on screen automatically, and calls are logged against contacts — saving time and improving customer service.
