We recently had the opportunity to install a Talkswitch Phone System for a local Renton church. A new building is what made them start looking for a new phone system, but it turned out upgrading not only delivered better functionality but also saved them money.
First, how they saved money. Their old phone system didn’t have voicemail, so they were paying about $250 per month for voicemail boxes with Qwest. The Talkswitch systems was able to provide all the voicemail boxes they needed without any monthly fees.
What was really terrific though was functionality. Most of the voicemail boxes were for their ministries which were lead by members of the church. Now instead of missing voicemails because of irregular checking, we email the voicemails to the ministry leaders.
We also included VoIP capabilities to allow for telecommuting. Given today’s high gas prices, telecommuting is an increasingly desirable feature - and one that’s now affordable to small businesses.
