Home Workers, Mobile and Remote Workers

Most UK businesses have a number of staff who regularly work away from the office as part of thier work for the firm.

To keep mobile workers connected, we offer a number of telecoms business services that make life easy for remote staff.

Home Workers Using Their Own Lines

Staff who are occasionally working from home can still make business phone calls using thier own personal or domestic telephone lines, and won't have to worry about claiming back the costs via expenses.

How Does It Work?

1. Pick up the telephone

2. Dial our 4-digit access code
This tells the local exchange to use Southern Communications to route the call.

3. Dial the destination number
Your call will connect in the usual manner.

4. Hang Up When Finished
The local exchange will then deliver the call information to us, and we will add the call costs and data to your business phone bill.

Your itemised bill information and Phone Sleuth logging software will enable you to separate and analyse home worker call traffic if required.

Installing Business Lines For Home Workers
Many staff spend time working at home regularly, and will require dedicated telecoms services along with the business equipment you provide them with.

Installing a business telephone line at home operates on exactly the same principles as at the office, allowing your staff to work from home comfortably without the headache of claiming expenses for usage.

We can install:

Single analogue telephone lines
Each line has a new telephone number and a dedicated listing on the main business account phone bill.

ISDN lines at home
ISDN2 and ISDN30 services can be installed for home workers who require ISDN data or voice services

All of our these telephone line services are installed at the same low rates as lines in the main business offices.

Home Telephone Systems
We have installed many telephone systems into domestic households, using analogue and ISDN technology.

Business Broadband For Home Workers
Analogue lines for home workers can also host broadband internet connection services, which we can provide as part of the overall home worker package.

Mobility Technology



All of our business telephone systems support mobile integration features

"Mobile Extension", or "Mobile Twinning" allows mobile telephones to be integrated with telephone systems, allowing workers to take office calls when they are away from thier desk, and even transfer them back to colleagues in the office.

Mobile applications are available and supported by VoIP and WiFi technology, enabling mobile workers and mobile phones to truly remain connected to the office telephone system.

Mobility and VoIP Technology for Business



All of our business phone systems support VoIP technology, which allows your PC or laptop to integrate with the office telephone system whenever a network connection is established. All you need is the software running on screen, and a USB handset or headset to talk.
