Speakeasy Extends Free Phone Offer

0 Comments | Wireless News, Jul 20, 2010

Speakeasy, a provider of broadband and voice services, announced it has extended its free phone offer, which has eliminated one of the last barriers to VoIP adoption.

Companies interested in switching to VoIP (Voice over IP) will find that now may be the perfect time to switch, the company noted, thanks to the extension of Speakeasy’s free phone promotion and the mobility-enhancing features associated with VoIP, which are validated during busy summer schedules.

“During summertime, a lot of employees will be working farther away from the office, even though it is a busy season for many industries,” said Bruce Chatterley, CEO at Speakeasy. “Employees and executives are finding it easier to work away from the office with Hosted Voice, thanks to mobility features such as Remote Office, which allows people to use their corporate number on any phone while enjoying reduced calling rates for long distance.”

Hosted Voice features allow for employees to bring the office with them, without being tethered to a desk or giving out personal numbers. Users can make and receive calls from their office phone number, whether they’re in the office or they’re actually using their home, mobile or even hotel phones.

Speakeasy said its free phone promotion provides free Polycom SoundPoint IP 321 VoIP-enabled phones to new business customers who purchase unlimited or global Hosted Voice calling plans and have a minimum of five lines. The promotion was originally introduced in March and has since steadily gained momentum, leading to the decision to expand the offer through the end of August.
