Your CRM already knows who is ringing. The phone system should too.

Connect TISA Cloud PBX to the CRM your team already uses.

Not a fixed list. If your system has an API we can connect it, in-house and bespoke ones included. We will need API access or credentials for it.

A connection we have not built before is quoted as development work: the first 2 hours of scoping and building are included, then £180 an hour excluding VAT. The twelve platforms above carry no setup fee and no monthly charge.

Switching to TISA

You keep the number your customers already ring.

Tell us what you have

Tell us your users, numbers, handsets and how calls work today.

We build and test everything

Extensions, routing, ring groups and opening hours are configured and tested before your team logs in.

We move your numbers

We plan your number transfer around an agreed switch date. Your existing service stays live until the move.

We get your team ready

We help your team get started, then our UK support team stays with you after go-live.

Still in contract? Talk to us anyway. We can plan the move around your existing contract end date.

How number transfers work

Questions

Questions businesses ask before switching.

Can I keep my existing business phone numbers?

Yes. UK landline and VoIP numbers can be transferred to TISA Cloud PBX, so you keep the numbers you already advertise. You agree the date the transfer happens, and your existing service stays live until it completes. Additional UK numbers are charged separately. How number transfers work.

How long does switching to TISA usually take?

Most of the work happens before your switch date, because extensions, routing and opening hours are configured and tested first. The part with a fixed timetable is the number transfer, and UK landline and VoIP transfers typically take 7 to 10 working days. You agree the date the numbers move.

Can we switch if we are still in contract with another provider?

Yes, and it is worth talking to us early. We can build and test your system, then plan the number transfer around your existing contract end date. Any notice period or early termination charge with your current provider is a matter between you and them.

Can staff answer the same business number from mobile and computer?

Yes. One extension can ring a desk phone, the desktop app and the mobile app together, so the call is answered wherever that person is. Mobile and desktop apps are included with every extension.

Are the Cloud PBX features included on every extension?

The core Cloud PBX features are, on every extension, and there is no higher plan to buy. Choosing PAYG or Unlimited changes how calls are charged, not which features you can use. Some services are charged separately: AI call intelligence, business messaging, Call Us 4 Free and additional numbers.

Can TISA connect Cloud PBX to our CRM?

Twelve popular CRM platforms connect from the portal using your own API credentials, with no setup fee and no monthly integration charge. TISA can work with other CRM systems too. The first 2 hours of technical scoping and development are included, and additional development is £180/hour excluding VAT.

What happens if our internet connection goes down?

The phone system itself runs in a data centre rather than in your office, so it is not affected by your broadband. Phones and computers at the affected site lose service until the connection returns, while an extension using the mobile app on mobile data does not depend on your office broadband at all. Emergency calls to 999 and 112 cannot be made over Cloud PBX during a broadband or power failure, so keep a mobile or another line available. Talk to us about how you want inbound calls handled if a site loses connectivity.

Talk to us

Half an hour is usually enough.

Tell us how many people you have, which numbers you need to keep and when your current contract ends. We’ll work out the right setup, what it costs and what moving involves. No obligation.
