Retail phone system FAQs
What is a retail phone system?
Today, a retail business phone system is essentially a unified communications platform or VoIP phone solution for retail businesses. These cloud-based systems lets your store handle both internal and external communications over the internet—no PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Networks), no expensive and maintenance-heavy hardware needed.
In fact, some modern retail phone systems even let you send team messages, have video meetings, and more—in addition to being flexible and accessible from anywhere.
All you need to access these cloud communications platforms or virtual phone systems is an internet-enabled device and a network connection. That will let you and your employees access their business numbers from a laptop or cell phone. For example, Dialpad's desktop and mobile apps works across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac devices—and even on web browsers if you don't want to download anything. (It's really more of a communications platform than just an online retail phone system.)
