Business phone systems for Sydney businesses.

Metcom provides cloud business phone systems to Sydney businesses. There is no phone system hardware on site, your existing numbers are ported across, and we attend site across the Sydney metro area when a job needs somebody there.

Choosing a business phone system in Sydney

Most Sydney businesses end up on one of four setups. The right one depends on how many people answer the phone, whether you have more than one site, and how much of your team already works in Microsoft Teams.

On-premise PBX

A phone system box on site, usually with a maintenance contract. Changes and faults mean a technician, and the hardware eventually needs replacing.

Suits you if: You already own one that is working well and is not near end of life.

Cloud PBX

The phone system runs in the cloud and your staff use desk phones, a softphone or a mobile app. Routing, queues and users are managed in a browser.

Suits you if: You want full business phone features without hardware on site, or you run more than one location.

Microsoft Teams calling

Calls made and received inside Teams. It works well for staff who already live in Teams, and less well for reception, queues and call centre work on its own.

Suits you if: Your team is Teams-first. It pairs well with a cloud PBX behind it.

Mobiles only

Everyone uses their own mobile number. Simple and cheap to start, but there is no shared number, no call routing and no record of who called whom.

Suits you if: You are a sole trader or a very small team with no reception function.

Call centre features

Call centre capability, without the call centre price.

If a team answers the phones for a living, the same system runs a full call centre: enterprise-grade features at a fraction of the cost of comparable call centre platforms.

Softphone

Agents take calls from a computer or headset, in the office or at home.

Call management

Queues, skill-based routing, overflow and callbacks, so callers reach the right person.

Live wallboards

Queue length, waiting callers and agent status on screen in real time.

Reporting

Call volumes, answer rates and agent activity, so you can staff to demand.

Call summaries

A written summary of each call, so the next person picks up where the last left off.

Switching without the downtime
01

Scope

We look at your numbers, sites, handsets, how calls should flow and what your current contracts allow.

02

Build alongside

The new system is built and tested while your current one keeps running, so nothing changes for callers yet.

03

Port and cut over

Your numbers port across and we cut over, attending site in Sydney for handsets where it helps.

How long it takes depends on the number of sites and numbers involved and on the porting process, but there is no hardware to order for the system itself, so most businesses are up and running quickly.

Across Sydney, and Australia-wide

On site across Sydney.
Working right across Australia.

Our office is in Cronulla, in the Sutherland Shire, and we attend site across the Sydney CBD and metropolitan area. A cloud phone system does not need us down the road, though: we set up and support business phone systems for customers Australia-wide.

FAQ

Business phone systems in Sydney: common questions

It depends on how many users you have, how many numbers and sites, whether you need call centre features such as queues and wallboards, and which add-ons you want, such as AI call answering or call recording. A cloud phone system has no phone system hardware to buy up front, so the cost is an ongoing monthly charge rather than a capital purchase. Tell us your setup and we will quote it.
Yes. We handle Australian number porting as part of setup, so your existing numbers move across to the new system and customers keep calling the numbers they already have.
We configure redundant carrier path failover on the SIP trunks so calls can take an alternate route automatically, and mobile failover rules per extension so calls still reach your staff if the office connection drops.
Yes. Most setup is done remotely, and we attend site across the Sydney CBD and metropolitan area, including the Sutherland Shire, for handset installs, cutovers and faults that need somebody there. Our office is in Cronulla, and we also work with businesses Australia-wide.
Yes. The Metcom phone system integrates with Microsoft Teams, so staff who work in Teams can make and take business calls there while reception, queues and call routing run on the cloud phone system.
Not necessarily. The system works with IP desk phones, softphone apps and any SIP-compatible device, and many businesses move some or all staff to a softphone. If your current handsets are compatible we can often reuse them; if not, we will recommend replacements.
