Can Zoho Voice Replace Your Old Phone System?
Usually, if your team takes calls on computers and cell phones rather than desk handsets. Check three things before you switch:
- Your current numbers. Confirm you can move (port) them to Zoho Voice so customers keep calling the same number.
- The call features you rely on. List what you use today, such as call queues, after-hours routing, or recording, and confirm each one is in the plan you pick.
- Texting rules. Business texting rules vary by country. In the US, business texting requires a registration step before you can send.
