Best Phone System for Small Business & Solopreneurs: Set Up in Minutes

This walkthrough explains how to convert a personal smartphone into a professional business phone system using Unitel Voice. It covers acquiring a dedicated local or toll-free number, choosing a plan, installing the mobile app, creating extensions and departments, setting call routing and greetings, and using voicemail and team features to separate business and personal calls.

– Number options: Port an existing number or choose local, toll-free, vanity, or instant numbers to match your business presence.

– Plans & setup: Pick startup, unlimited, or office plans based on minutes and users; install the mobile app rather than simple call forwarding for better separation and features.

– Routing & extensions: Create extensions and departments (operator, sales, support, billing), assign users, configure simultaneous/shuffle/in-order ringing, and forward voicemails to email.

– Greetings & support: Record or upload custom greetings, use free AI or paid human voice options, and take advantage of US-based setup calls for fast configuration.

Quotes:

Turn the phone you already have into a professional business phone system.

When your business runs through your personal cell number, everything gets mixed together.

Whoever picks up first actually gets the call.
