AccessLine SmartVoice VoIP Service First to Offer U.S. Small Businesses Local Phone Numbers in Great Britain

Posted on: Monday, 5 March 2007, 09:00 CST

AccessLine Communications, a leading provider of hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, today announced that its SmartVoice Service for business now offers U.S.-based customers the ability to utilize local phone numbers in Great Britain. This enables any U.S.-based organization conducting business in the U.K. to not only develop a virtual presence by offering callers a local phone number, but to take advantage of the cost savings of VoIP over traditional international phone rates without the need for additional equipment purchases.

Specifically designed and built for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), SmartVoice Service is a hosted VoIP offering that delivers the benefits of advanced business telephone service at a fraction of the cost. It is available across the U.S. direct or through a network of local agents and offers substantial savings over traditional business phone service, all without the requirement and expense of equipment conversions.

"As a specialist in the SMB market, AccessLine understands that smaller businesses need more communications tools that enable them to compete on a global scale," said Doug Johnson, President and CEO of AccessLine Communications. "Through our highly reliable, managed VoIP network, AccessLine can deliver the types of voice services to the SMB marketplace that were previously only available to large enterprises. These features, such as virtual local numbers in the U.K., help level the competitive playing field and allow nimble organizations to offer products and services to a wider range of customers -- even those residing offshore."

One of the top 50 travel agencies in the U.S. is currently using AccessLine's SmartVoice Service to offer local phone numbers to customers within Great Britain, boosting its ability to market American travel destinations to British residents.

Visitors to the Channel Partners Conference & Expo, being held March 4-6 at the Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV, can learn more about SmartVoice Service and its virtual local numbers capability at AccessLine Communications' booths (#529 and #531).
