Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

Why are so many businesses moving to internet phones now?

As the NBN replaces the old copper network, older ISDN and copper phone lines and equipment that depend on them are being retired, and some will stop working. Many businesses are switching to phones that run over the internet. Ask any provider how they would handle your existing lines and equipment.

What is a VoIP business phone system?

It sends calls over the internet rather than traditional phone lines. Many are hosted by the provider, so you don't need your own phone equipment on site. You use desk phones, computers or mobile apps.

What features do business VoIP systems offer?

Commonly an automated greeting, call routing to the right person, voicemail sent to email, a mobile app, call recording and video meetings. Features and limits vary by provider and plan, so ask for what is included.

How much does it cost?

Usually a monthly fee per user, plus any extras, plus GST. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for the full cost in writing, including phones, set-up, and charges for calls to mobiles and other countries.

Can I keep my existing phone numbers?

Usually yes, through a process called porting. It takes time, so don't cancel your old service until the provider confirms the transfer date. Ask how long it takes and what happens to calls in the meantime.

How do emergency calls work?

Providers must let customers call 000, but a VoIP phone needs an address registered so that help is sent to the right place. Ask how the provider handles it, especially if people work from several locations or at home, and test it as advised.

What if my internet goes down?

Calls need an internet connection and often power, so ask what happens during an outage, such as calls forwarding to mobile phones. Ask how much bandwidth the system needs and whether your NBN connection is enough.

Is call recording allowed?

Recording rules differ by state and territory, and usually require notice to or consent from the people on the call. Ask the provider what is built in, and check the rules that apply to your business with a qualified adviser.

What should I look for in the contract?

The length, how to end it and what that costs, how prices can change, what equipment you must buy, and the terms for moving to another provider. The Australian Consumer Law gives many small businesses protection against unfair terms in standard-form contracts.

What if something goes wrong?

Complain to the provider first. If you aren't happy with the answer, a small business can usually take a complaint to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman, which is free to use.

What should I have ready?

How many people need phones, whether you want to keep your numbers, whether people work remotely, and your postcode. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a phone company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't provide phone service. Any proposal or quote comes from the company that contacts you.

Will several providers call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified provider contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
