What is a cloud-hosted phone system?

A Business Phone System that Just Works.

POPP’s cloud-hosted phone system — also known as a VoIP phone system, cloud PBX, or UCaaS — uses your business internet connection to complete calls instead of traditional phone lines. There is no need to buy and maintain expensive onsite PBX equipment and separate phone service – POPP takes care of it all for you. It’s an ideal phone system for small businesses, multi-site companies, and any organization that needs to empower workers with remote work tools.

What Happens When Your Business Internet Goes Down?

With VoIP, your IP desk phones rely on your internet connection—but your business doesn’t have to stop.

POPP builds in multiple layers of protection so you stay reachable and operational:

  1. Calls keep coming in. Your main business telephone number can be quickly forwarded, so customers can still reach you at an alternate number. Because voicemail is cloud-based, it’s always accessible—even if your office is offline.
  2. Your team stays connected. With POPP’s included softphone apps, your team can make and receive business calls from their mobile devices using cellular data, keeping communication seamless from anywhere.
  3. When your ISP says it will be days, we’re there in hours. For extended outages, our technicians can deploy an emergency 5G internet connection to restore phone and internet service while your provider resolves the issue. (Some restrictions apply.)
  4. We help you prepare for future outages. For businesses where downtime isn’t an option, we can work with you to design a dual internet connection configuration with automatic failover. If your primary internet goes down, your network seamlessly switches to a backup connection—often without your team or customers even noticing. It’s the most reliable way to keep your phones and operations running without interruption.

Flexible Phones and Softphone Apps for Your Team

Choose from POPP’s professionally programmed desk phones, specialty devices, and softphone apps that enable teamwork from anywhere – in the office, on the go, and everywhere in between.
