Map how calls should reach your team
List your main numbers, departments, reception desk, and remote users. Explain what should happen during business hours, after hours, and when someone is unavailable. Call groups, an auto attendant, and voicemail should reflect how your business actually works.
Prepare for a number transfer
If you want to keep existing numbers, gather a current bill and the account information requested by the new provider. Ask the provider to explain its transfer process and schedule. Keep the current service active while the transfer is being coordinated; confirm the steps with both providers.
Match devices to the way people work
Desk phones, desktop applications, and mobile apps may serve different roles. Tell the provider which users need a physical phone, a headset, remote access, or shared reception coverage. Ask about supported devices and any features that require a particular plan.
Review the office network
Reliable calling also depends on internet connectivity and a suitable office network. Share the router, switches, Wi-Fi arrangements, and cabling you already use. For dropped calls or poor audio, describe when the issue occurs and whether it affects every user.
What to have ready
- Current phone provider, numbers, and a recent bill
- Number of users and preferred devices
- Call routing, reception, and after-hours needs
- Internet connection and known audio or connectivity problems
