Cloud phone system for South African businesses

Business phones that work from anywhere, even when the power’s off.

RiteVox replaces the PABX in the cupboard with a phone system that lives online. Keep your numbers, answer on desk phones, your mobile or your laptop, and change your menus and hours yourself.

How it works

Switching takes a few days, not a project

You don’t need an IT department. We do the set-up; your office manager runs it from a browser afterwards.

01

Tell us about your office

How many people answer calls, which numbers you have and whether you need desk phones. It takes about five minutes.

02

We set everything up

We port your numbers, build your phone menu and hours, and send desk phones ready to plug in. Your old lines work until the switch.

03

You’re in charge

Close early for a function, add a new staff member or change the greeting yourself, in plain language, from any browser.

Phone menus

Greet every caller properly

“Press 1 for bookings” in your own words. Type the message and we read it out in a South African voice, or record your own.

  • Send each option to a person, a group, a queue or voicemail
  • Try it like a caller before it goes live
  • English, Afrikaans, isiZulu and Sesotho voices
Main menuLive

“Thank you for calling Test Dental. For bookings, press 1. For accounts, press 2. To speak to a dentist, press 3.”

Business hours

Open when you’re open

Set your week once. Public holidays are built in, and one tap closes the office early for a function or a power cut.

  • Different greeting when you’re closed
  • Year-end shutdown and other closures
  • Messages emailed to you with a written version

Stage 6 shouldn’t mean nobody answers the phone

A PABX in the office goes dark with the lights. RiteVox runs in data centres with backup power, so your numbers keep ringing and your team answers on the mobile app until the power comes back.

  • No UPS or generator needed for the phones
  • Mobile apps take over when desk phones go offline
  • Callers hear your normal greeting the whole time

What people ask before switching

Yes. We move (port) your numbers from Telkom or your current provider. It usually takes 5 to 10 working days, and your old lines keep working until the switch-over, so you don’t miss calls.

Tell us about your office. We’ll do the rest.

A five-minute form, then a call from us with a quote. We set up your numbers and phones, and show your team how it works.
