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 hosted approach of SmartVoice Service avoids these unnecessary costs and will immediately start saving businesses 30, 40, up to as much as 50 percent off their current legacy phone bills while allowing them to continue using their current equipment. Along with AccessLine’s award winning customer service and a dedicated connection that assures voice quality, SmartVoice is clearly a smart move for business communications.”
