Virtual phone system for business

Visit Talkroute

Talkroute is a virtual phone system that lets businesses make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, and hold video meetings from desktop, web, and mobile apps. It provides business phone numbers, call forwarding and routing, auto attendant menus, extensions, voicemail with transcription, and call recording, helping teams manage customer communication from anywhere without dedicated phone hardware.

Key capabilities include VoIP and PSTN calling, SMS and MMS messaging with bulk texting add-ons, video meetings for up to 100 participants, live call transfer, call stacking, custom greetings, hours of operation, caller ID, reporting, and Zapier integration. An optional AI Receptionist answers calls and website chats, books appointments, and takes messages. Apps are available for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and web browsers.

Talkroute is aimed at solo operators, early-stage startups, established small businesses, scaling teams, and nonprofits. It is packaged into Basic, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise editions with a free trial, and some features are available as add-ons or vary by plan.
