What Our Customers Say
Don't just take it from us, let our customers share their success story!
"When a patient will call our Belleville office rather than our Mt. Vernon location, instead of asking them to hang up and dial another number (hoping we don't lose that new client), we can now just transfer them to the other office without their ever knowing the difference."
"I have worked with Matt and his firm for a number of years. His service and attention to detail are some of the best I have experienced. He is always open to ideas and is very willing to act on good ideas. It is a pleasure working with him and his company. Highly recommended."
"In the 10 years that I have had the pleasure of working with Phonewire, I have seen the business grow and differentiate itself from the rest. Matt works closely with customers to find a solution for their needs. The commitment to his work and to his clients is a true testament to his success."
Managing Subscriptions
A Support Subscription includes software maintenance and technical support. Subscriptions must be renewed to continue to receive technical support, software updates, and subscription-based features and services.
Your Support Subscription quote is based on the total number of users on your system and requires an annual commitment minimum but may be paid in monthly installments or annually with a discount.
A user is counted as:
- A desk phone or cordless phone or conference speakerphone.
- An extension number that can make or receive calls or intercoms.
- A person using the custom App on their smartphone or PC/Mac.
What doesn’t count as a user:
- A voicemail box.
- A greeting menu or “phone tree”.
It is important to note if you have one person using both a desk phone and they have downloaded and set up the custom App on their cell phone or laptop, that will only count as one Support Subscription user.


Lapsed Subscriptions
If you do not renew your Support Subscription, our obligation to provide technical support services, access to software updates, and continued use of subscription-based features or services is terminated on the expiration date.
If subscriptions lapse, the following will result, including but not limited to,:
- Users will not be able to use the desktop softphone App or mobile softphone App.

If your subscriptions lapse, then:
- You may be subject to a Support Reinstatement Fee in addition to Support Subscription renewal costs.
- Renewals backfill to the original date of expiration.
- Related third-party features or services may require additional reactivation fees or other requirements.
To avoid unnecessary extra expense, it is best to avoid allowing your subscriptions to expire.
