What happens if our internet goes down — will we miss calls?
Your number is hosted in the cloud. We can configure failover to mobiles or alternate numbers if your primary destination is offline, so customer calls still get through. For reliability, we recommend adding a mobile or secondary route as backup.
Will callers pay a local rate when dialling my (03) number?
Charges depend on the caller’s plan, but (03) landline numbers are generally billed at local call rates from landlines within Australia. Mobile plans may vary by provider.
