AccessLine, announced the availability of its new retail version of SmartVoice Service for business in Virginia. SmartVoice, the company’s hosted VoIP service that delivers the benefits of advanced business telephone service at a fraction of the cost, is specifically designed and built for Small and Medium Businesses and offers as much as 50 percent savings over traditional business phone service rates. Combining local, long distance, and toll free phone service with no need for the purchase of any phone equipment, AccessLine’s SmartVoice Service delivers savings while making it easy for customers to transition from their current legacy phone service.

“The increasing demand for our SmartVoice offering across the U.S. is continuing evidence of the need for voice services products specifically designed for the SMB market,” said Doug Johnson, CEO at AccessLine. “AccessLine’s SmartVoice Service eliminates the on-site administrative requirements of a voice system and, unlike other VoIP products available today, supports an organization’s legacy phone investment to further reduce the overall expenditure of upgrading telecom infrastructures. We remain dedicated to making it easy for SMBs to adopt feature-rich VoIP services to meet today’s business requirements.”

Concurrently, AccessLine is pleased to announce a partnership with Telecom Players Inc., DBA Telecom Arena, as an AccessLine authorized SmartVoice Dealer serving the Richmond, VA market. Telecom Arena provides an online telecommunications directory for telecom customers, agents and service providers that features cost-effective solutions for VoIP, local and long distance, international calling and T1 integrated services.

“Previously, our customers had to undergo time-consuming and resource-draining system upgrades to leverage the cost savings of today’s most advanced communications services, such as VoIP,” noted Lisa Kaye, Vice President of Marketing and Agent Channels at Telecom Arena. “AccessLine’s suite of telecom offerings allows smaller organizations to adopt the same comprehensive communications services enterprises have been leveraging for years. Moreover, the company’s hosted approach significantly reduces the administrative time required to install, rollout and manage these services.”
