Elevate your business image with a professional voice for phone greetings and prompts as well as on-hold messaging. Our female voiceover talent is a former professional radio announcer. With a script you provide, our talent will record messages remotely and directly to your new or existing phone system. Following your scripted phone greeting, a recorded voice prompt instructs callers to find the right department or extension on your phone system. Often these are necessary in large corporations so that customers are filtered through to the right department. A voice prompt simply asks the caller to take a specific action, much like the message on an answering machine. Phone systems using these prompts get the caller to press a key on their phone. A message on-hold recording, made from your script, is one or more messages played when a customer is placed on hold. A good messaging on-hold script will contain several short messages that focus on a service, product or benefit offered by your business. Contact us for a price quote on our convenient and affordable voiceover talent services.

Home-based business/teleworking support services
A commercial location isn’t a requirement to benefit from our products and services. All our products and services are available for home-based businesses and for employees working from home/remotely. We understand the unique technology challenges for teleworking and have the solutions to make your business a success no matter where you do business. Some of our solutions include:
- Station call forwarding – the easiest method for insuring inbound phone calls are routed to your employees is to forward calls for an extension to an outside number such as a cell phone or home number. It doesn’t require any special licensing or hardware and only addresses inbound calls. Outbound calls would need to be made from the cell phone or home phone. There are limitations relative to call forwarding of calls directed to an ACD, hunt group and ring group. The inbound call utilizes two of the organization’s carrier trunks; one for the original inbound call and one to forward it to the outside line. Caller ID of original calling party will not pass through to the outside number. If the outside line is busy/unanswered, the caller will end up in the outside (cell phone) voice mail.
- Extension twinning – Mobile twinning allows incoming calls to your desk phone extension to ring simultaneously to your mobile phone. It doesn’t require any special licensing or hardware, but it does require programming of the phone system. In most cases, the Caller ID of original calling party will be passed through to the outside line. Busy/unanswered calls will route to the Vertical voice mail and will be routed accordingly (e.g., to email.) Only addresses inbound calls. Outbound calls would need to be made from the cell or home phone. There are limitations regarding twinning of calls directed to an ACD, hunt group and ring group. The inbound call utilizes two of the organization’s carrier trunks.
- IT computer network services.
- 911 service – 911 service is not addressed with these teleworking solutions. Teleworking employees should be advised not to use the company IP phone of softphone to dial 911 from their remote location and emergency 911 calls should be made on cell phones or home phones.
- Desktop IP phone/handset with teleworker license – A teleworker license enables employees to work remotely with a desktop IP phone/handset that provides full access to transfer capability, voice mail, message waiting, conferencing and other features of the office phone system. Teleworking may require modifications to the current firewall settings. This gives teleworkers the ability to utilize the desktop IP phone they are accustomed to using. All capabilities of the phone system remain available to your users. Outbound calls are routed through the phone system and thus display your organization’s Caller ID. May require additional licensing and either an Ethernet power adapter or wireless LAN adapter for the desktop IP phone. IP phones need to be programmed to use the public IP addresses of the phone system. May require additional IP phones or relocation of existing phones. Power source needed for IP phones.
- Softphones – Utilizes a Vertical software application that runs on a mobile device, tablet or computer that enables the device to function as a phone/extension on the Vertical phone system. Typically, clients use a headset compatible with their device. Softphones may require modifications to current firewall settings. All capabilities of the phone system remain available to users. Outbound calls are routed through the phone system and thus display your organization’s Caller ID. May require additional licensing and a device to run the software on. Configuring a softphone to operate is device-dependant and performance may be impacted by device specifications and other applications running on the device.
