What is a cloud-based phone system?

“Cloud-based” means that the core technology infrastructure and global network providing the business phone and fax system functionality is located in multiple secure data centers and delivered to your business over the web. This eliminates the need for capital investment and the hassle of installing and managing complex hardware in your office.

Can I Transfer my existing phone numbers to Glacier Networks?

Yes. You can transfer (port) your existing toll-free or local phone numbers to Glacier.

The porting process takes approximately 2-4 weeks and is dependent on how quickly your current provider releases the phone numbers. Unfortunately, we cannot help expedite the porting process.

Can I Purchase New & Vanity phone numbers with Glacier Networks VOIP?

After completing the purchase of Glacier Networks VOIP, you can add additional numbers, including vanity numbers, from within your online account. New Numbers take 2-5 days to be live and you will receive an email once the number has been activated.

What is involved in Setting up my Glacier network VOIP Phone System?

Easy Peasy, Glacier Networks will work with any high-speed, stable internet connection and requires a minimum of 88 kbps of bandwidth per call. You will need a router that will make the internet connection available to your phones/devices. For best voice quality, we recommend a router that is QoS (Quality of Service) enabled. By configuring your QoS router to prioritize the voice traffic over other internet traffic, you will experience better voice quality when your internet is being used for other activities (e.g., downloading large files, watching online videos, etc.).

We currently have a legacy, Key System PBX unified communications solution. How long does it take to migrate to the cloud and what are some typical resource and cost benefits?

Deployment depends on the size and scope of the application being requested—from a few hours for a straightforward deployment to a few weeks for a large complex deployment. Many UCaaS solutions only require a high-speed internet connection for quick migration. The improved productivity, reduced capital expenses, transaction-based costs, and predictable monthly costs provide a quick ROI.

This is my first Glacier Networks bill, and I was told that I would save money. Why does this bill look higher than my previous carrier’s bill?

Just like your previous telephone service provider, Glacier always bills monthly (recurring) service charges one month in advance.  Your previous provider will issue you a credit for any prepaid monthly charges on your final bill from them, normally within the next 30 days.

Your first invoice from Glacier will include pro-rated monthly service charges for the current billing month as well as for service charges for the following month in advance.

We realize that the pro-rating and pre-payment of monthly charges may be inconvenient during this transitional period.  But remember, the end result upon receiving your credit from your previous carrier will offset these charges.
