Hosted & VoIP Phone Systems

Overview

Hosted & VoIP Phone Systems from a local Erie team

A hosted phone system moves the phone switch into the cloud, so there’s less hardware in your closet and your team can take calls from the desk, a laptop or a mobile phone. ETG sets it up, programs it, trains your staff and stays on call afterward.

ESI eCloud PBX

ETG is a Certified ESI Reseller. ESI’s cloud system includes unlimited calling across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, desk phones, a smartphone app and a web softphone, voicemail to email, call recording and internal chat and texting. Add-ons connect it to Microsoft Teams and popular CRMs, add call center dashboards, or answer calls with an AI receptionist.

FAQ

Questions about Hosted & VoIP Phone Systems

All FAQs

What phone systems does ETG sell?

ETG has been a Certified ESI Reseller since 2012, selling ESI cloud, on-premises and premises + cloud systems. ETG also works with the major hosted VoIP providers, including RingCentral, Vonage, Nextiva and Toshiba VIPedge.

Can our phone system work with Microsoft Teams or our CRM?

Yes, with ESI’s cloud system. The eTeams Connector lets staff call from Microsoft Teams using their business numbers, and CommConnect links calls to popular CRMs so caller details pop up on screen.

Can an AI receptionist answer our calls?

Yes. CAIRO for ESI Cloud is an AI receptionist that answers in a natural voice around the clock, understands what callers need, routes them to the right person or queue, and can book appointments. ETG can set it up on an ESI cloud system.

Can I take my office extension with me on my cell phone?

Yes. ESI’s smartphone and desktop apps put your office extension on your cell phone or computer, with transfer, hold, voicemail, call recording and presence status, so callers reach you the same way wherever you are.

Can we send and receive faxes without a fax machine?

Yes. ESI eFax sends and receives faxes securely by email and online, without a fax machine or a dedicated fax line.

What is the ESI Verbal User Guide?

It’s a built-in help feature on every ESI desk phone. Press the help key and the phone explains how to use the feature you’re working with, so staff don’t need a manual.

Should I choose a hosted (cloud) phone system or an on-premises system?

It depends on your building, your internet connection, how mobile your staff are and how you prefer to pay. Hosted systems put the phone switch in the cloud with a monthly fee; on-premises systems keep equipment in your building that you own. ETG sells and supports both, and will recommend the one that fits rather than the one that pays best.

Can I get a demo before I buy?

Yes. Call (814) 898-1400 for a free consultation and on-site demo of ESI phones.

What is SIP trunking?

SIP trunking delivers your phone lines over an internet connection instead of physical phone-company circuits. There are no circuit boxes to maintain, and you pay only for the number of simultaneous calls you need instead of a bundle of analog lines or a partly used T1 or PRI.
