Features Overview

Business Phone System

Hosted IP PBX service

Ubity provides enterprise customers with a cost-effective and technologically advanced alternative to traditional local phone systems.  A hosted IP PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system means that your phone system is hosted within our highly secure, redundant data centers that manage all incoming and outgoing calls directly for each extension in your premises.

Online Administration Portal: Studio©

With our online administration portal, Studio, you can easily manage your entire phone system with just a few clicks.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

Our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) services will ensure that your customers see you as a high-end supplier.  Our team of experts will support you from the outset in configuring your IVR service including welcome messages, number redirection, schedules, and so on.

HD Voice Quality

As call quality is a priority for us, Ubity provides you with the highest performance audio codecs on the market to guarantee unparallelled sound quality for your voice communications.

Premium HD Hold Music

Make waiting on hold less painful for your callers by providing music while your receptionist directs the call.  Select hold music from the list provided by Ubity or choose your own music directly from a computer in MP3 or WAV format.

Business hours

Configure your IVR to fit around your company’s business hours. Choose a specific message or modify your redirection options based on your company’s business hours so that, whatever time of day you receive the call, your customers will always get an answer.

Ring Groups

When you receive a call, you can ensure that one or more phones ring at the same time.

Call Reports & Analytics

From our online administration interface, Studio, you can retrieve a complete report of all enterprise communications via our reporting and analytics tools.

User profiles

Ubity allows you to create one or more user profiles.

Extensions

Ubity allows you to hook up all your hardware, including physical and software-based phones to a single extension number.

Dial-by-name directory

This option enables you to dial your contact’s number directly by selecting the contact’s family name or given name directly from your telephone keyboard.

Call monitoring

Call monitoring is a feature that allows authorized users to listen in to open calls. Three options are available:
1- Listen: you can listen to an ongoing phone call without either party hearing you (neither the employee nor the client).
2- Whisper: you can speak to employees to help them manage the call. Only your employee, as opposed to the customer, can hear you.
3- Conversation: you can take part in an ongoing call to facilitate the discussion between the two parties.

Restrictions for Long Distance & International Calls and Per-Extension

Ubity allows authorized users to restrict long-distance and international calls from one or more extensions.

Long Distance Gateway

Ubity telephony solutions allow you to make major savings on long-distance calling by allowing your users to make their long distance and international calls via our long-distance gateway instead of their cell phones, resulting in a cost saving.

Automatic Call Recording (7-day Storage Included)

The charges for Ubity include a facility for you to record calls and preserve the recordings for seven days without any extra charge. You can then review and download the calls as many times as you wish from our online administration portal, Studio.

Secure SIP Trunking

Secure SIP Trunks

SIP trunks allow a direct connection, with no conversion box, from your IP-PBX to Ubity’s voice network over the SIP protocol, allowing phone lines and numbers to be allocated to you from over 67 countries, including in Canada and the United States.

Secure SIP Trunks (Encryption)

The ability to use Secure SIP Trunks allows you to ensure that all information shared over all your SIP trunks remains secure and confidential thanks to the use of SIP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption techniques for signaling alongside SRTP (Secure Real-Time Protocol) for media.
