FAQs


How many phone lines should I order?

You don't have to pay for individual lines. One connection is sized to provide the number of simultaneous calls required. All employees receive their own phone number, and callers don't have to worry about busy signals or getting an outside line.

How does voice quality of IP Telephony compare?

The quality of IP (Internet Protocol) Telephony is equal to traditional phone service. IP Telephony is often confused with a lower quality service called Internet Telephony, where calls are routed over the public Internet.

 

M5 runs its voice service over a private and secure network, ensuring the highest quality of service. To test the quality yourself, call us at 1300 306 898 to say hello.
