Preparation and Network Checks

Verify Internet Speed: Use a tool like Speedtest.net to ensure you have at least 100 Kbps of upload and download bandwidth per concurrent call.

Assess Hardware Needs: You decide if you will use a softphone (app on your current phone/laptop) or physical IP hardware (desk phones).

Choosing a Plan

Compare Features: decide what features are important to you like; call summaries, auto-attendants, and mobile app integration.

Select a Plan: we can offer tiered monthly subscriptions with per-user pricing or an all you can eat package.

The Signup

Create an Account: Simply provide your name, business email, and billing information.

Select or Port a Number:

  • New Number: Choose a local, toll-free, or exclusive number for your business
  • Porting: If keeping your old number, we can move it from your old provider so you can have it on the new system. Note that porting typically takes between 1 and 3 business days. In the meantime we can maintain full operations via a number divert for business continuity.

Configuration - don't worry, we do this for you!

Download Software: Install our Softphone apps on your desktop or mobile device. Sign in using your new credentials.

Set Up User Profiles: Add team members by entering their emails and assigning specific extensions and permissions.

Configure Call Flows: Set up how calls are routed (e.g., ringing multiple phones simultaneously or directing to an after-hours voicemail).

Hardware Setup (Optional)

Supply & Install: For physical desk phones, connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the phone's LAN port.

Wireless Headsets: pick a model and we pair it with your deskphone or Softphone App

Testing & Go-Live

Test Calls: We work with you to call your new number from an external phone to check for audio clarity, echoing, or delays.

Verify Features: Ensure that voicemail-to-email, call forwarding, and mobile notifications are functioning as expected.

Switching to Pulse Telecom was a game-changer for our office operations. We were struggling with dropped calls and lagging hardware, but their team stepped in and streamlined our entire communication stack. The transition was seamless, the call quality is crystal clear, and their support team actually answers the phone when you need them. It’s rare to find a provider that balances cutting-edge tech with such a human touch.

Unified communications is a single platform that brings all your business communication tools together such as voice calls, instant messaging, video, and file sharing. Traditionally, businesses run these through separate systems, a phone line here, a chat app there, email somewhere else, which slows people down and makes it hard to keep track of conversations. Unified communications removes that friction by connecting everything in one place. Your team can start a chat, turn it into a call, share a file and check a colleague's availability without ever leaving the platform, whether they're at their desk, working from home, or out on a mobile.
Our unified communications solutions cover the full range of tools a modern Irish business needs. On the communication side, you get business calling across desk phones, mobile apps and softphones with a consistent caller experience, plus team messaging and video. When combined with our contact centre features, you also gain intelligent call routing, call queues, omnichannel support across voice, email, live chat and messaging, real-time analytics and reporting, and CRM integration. Everything runs from one cloud platform, so internal collaboration and customer service are managed in the same place. You can start with the core features and add advanced capabilities as your needs grow.
Unified communications focuses on connecting your own people, keeping internal collaboration fast and seamless. A contact centre builds on top of that to manage customer interactions at scale. It adds tools like intelligent call routing, queues, skills-based distribution, omnichannel handling and detailed reporting on things like wait times and agent performance. In short, unified communications looks inward at your team, while the contact centre looks outward at your customers. Most businesses run them together so the same platform handles both a quick internal question and a high volume of customer enquiries.
The benefits show up in three main areas. First, internal efficiency. Staff stop wasting time switching between tools, because voice, messaging and presence sit in one place. Second, customer experience. Calls are answered faster and routed correctly, so customers spend less time waiting and get to the right person sooner. Third, visibility and control. Managers get real-time dashboards and reports on call volumes, response times and queue performance, which makes it far easier to spot problems and plan staffing. Because the platform is cloud-based and scalable, you also avoid the cost and disruption of replacing hardware as you grow.
Yes, they're designed for exactly that. Because everything runs in the cloud, your team gets full phone-system access from a laptop, mobile or desk phone, anywhere with an internet connection. Staff working from home, in the office, or travelling all use the same extensions, messaging and features, so customers experience one consistent business presence no matter where the person answering happens to be. Just as importantly, managers keep the same oversight they'd have on-site. Live reporting, call routing and queue visibility all work the same whether the team is together or spread out.
Yes. Our solutions integrate with common CRM and business systems, which means an agent sees the relevant customer details on screen the moment a call comes in, who's calling, their history, and any open issues. This removes the need to ask customers to repeat themselves or to manually search records mid-call. The result is faster, more informed conversations, fewer errors, and a more professional experience for the customer. CRM integration also helps keep your records up to date automatically, since call activity can be logged against the right contact.
Usually not. Because the system is hosted in the cloud, there's no bulky on-site equipment to install or maintain in a back office. Many teams simply use our softphone apps on devices they already own, a laptop, desktop or smartphone, and get connected easily. If you prefer physical desk phones, we supply fully compatible IP handsets and headsets from leading brands like Yealink through our shop, often pre-configured so they work as soon as they're plugged in. And if you already own SIP-compatible hardware, we can integrate it if supported.
Yes, scalability is one of the core advantages of a cloud-based platform. You can add users, channels, extensions and features whenever you need to, without buying new infrastructure or going through a complicated upgrade. This makes it suitable for a small team as well as a busy contact centre handling high call volumes. You only pay for what you use, and as your business expands, opens a new location, the system scales with you.
Yes. The platform uses enterprise-grade security, and data protection is aligned to Irish and EU regulations, including GDPR. That matters because your communications often carry sensitive customer information, and you need confidence that it's stored and handled correctly. Running on a compliant, professionally managed cloud platform means security updates, data protection and infrastructure resilience are looked after for you. For regulated sectors like healthcare, clinics and professional services, this compliance is especially important.
Intelligent call routing automatically sends each incoming call to the most suitable person or team, based on rules you decide. That could mean routing by department, by agent availability, by skill set, or by time of day. Calls can ring multiple phones at once, follow a queue when everyone's busy, or divert to voicemail or an after-hours message outside business hours. Combined with omnichannel support, so email, live chat and messaging are handled alongside calls, this makes sure enquiries reach the right place the first time. The practical payoff is shorter wait times, fewer missed or misdirected calls, and a smoother experience for your customers.
Setup is quick, and our team handles the heavy lifting so there's minimal disruption to your business. The process runs in clear stages. A quick check of your internet and hardware needs, choosing the right plan, signing up and selecting or porting your number, then configuration of users, extensions and call flows, which we set up for you. If you buy hardware from us, it often arrives pre-configured for fast activation. If you're keeping your existing number, porting typically takes between 1 and 3 business days, and we keep you fully operational with a call divert in the meantime. Before go live, we test call quality and check that features like voicemail-to-email and call forwarding are working as expected.

Yes. Pulse Telecom is Irish-owned, with headquarters in Dublin, and we provide dedicated, Ireland-based support. We've been serving Irish businesses for over 25 years, and we back our service with 99.99% network availability. You can reach our support team by phone on +353 1 862 3300 or by email at support@pulse.ie, and because we understand the Irish market and its compliance requirements, the help you get is relevant and local.
