How a call moves through TalkerIQ
Ring group
The sales team's phones ring together; first to answer takes it.
Queue
Caller hears position and hold music; next free agent gets it.
AI agent
After hours or overflow: answers, books, or takes a message.
What is a cloud phone system?
A cloud phone system is a business phone service that runs over the internet (VoIP) instead of desk phones and an on-site PBX. Numbers, menus, routing and recording live in the provider's cloud, and your team answers in a browser, desktop or mobile app. TalkerIQ is a cloud phone system for business with AI voice and SMS agents built in — so after-hours and overflow calls are answered, not sent to voicemail.

Sound familiar?
We were paying to make the phone ring — then losing the calls we couldn't get to, and never finding out which ones.
Most teams don't have a calling problem. They have a coverage and visibility problem: calls arrive when people are busy, land on the wrong person, or disappear into a voicemail nobody checks.
Calls ring out at the worst moments
Lunch, peak hours, after 5 PM, when the one person who knows the answer is on another line. The caller tries a competitor next.
Callers bounce between the wrong people
Without routing rules, every call goes to whoever picks up first — and then gets transferred, twice.
Your phone system lives on desks your team doesn't sit at
Hybrid teams forward to personal cell phones, so customers see random numbers and nothing gets logged.
Nothing gets written down
What was promised on a call lives in someone's memory. Nothing reaches the CRM, and follow-ups slip.
How it works
How does a cloud phone system handle a call — from first ring to follow-up?
Here's what happens to a call on TalkerIQ — and who handles each step.

Pick local, toll-free or international numbers in minutes. Porting your existing line? Use a temporary number until it switches over.
Your team · 10 minutesGreet and route every caller
A phone menu greets callers in your brand voice, then business-hours rules, ring groups and queues send them to the right people.
AutomaticAnswer from anywhere
Your team picks up in the browser, desktop app or on mobile — always showing your business number, never a personal cell.
Your teamAI covers the gaps
After hours, during spikes or when the queue gets long, an AI agent answers, books, takes details or warm-transfers the hot ones.
AI agentNothing falls through
Recordings, transcripts, AI summaries and outcomes are logged to the contact and your CRM, and missed calls trigger an instant text back.

Questions teams ask before switching phone systems
Still unsure? Talk to our team.
Reviewed by the TalkerIQ product team · Updated
What is a cloud phone system?
A cloud phone system (also called VoIP or a virtual phone system) runs your business phone lines over the internet instead of copper lines and an on-site PBX. Calls ring in a browser, desktop app or mobile app, and features like menus, routing, recording and reporting are set up in a web dashboard.
Can I keep my existing business phone numbers?
Yes. You can port your existing numbers to TalkerIQ. While the port completes you can use a temporary number, and calls keep ringing on your old provider until the switch, so there is no downtime.
Do I need desk phones or special hardware?
No. Your team can call from a web browser with a headset, or use the desktop and mobile apps. Nothing needs to be installed on-site.
What happens to calls when my team is busy or it's after hours?
You decide. Calls can wait in a queue, roll to another ring group, go to voicemail with transcription, or be answered by a TalkerIQ AI agent that books appointments, answers FAQs, takes details and warm-transfers urgent callers.
Are calls recorded and logged automatically?
Yes. You choose which calls are recorded, and each recorded call gets a transcript and AI summary on the contact's record, synced to your CRM. Recording can be paused while card details are read out.
How much does a cloud phone system cost?
TalkerIQ is priced per user per month: Starter $39 for calling and texting, Growth $79 adding dialers and campaigns, and Pro $149 adding included AI minutes, each with pooled call minutes and SMS. Annual billing saves up to 25%, and pay as you go is available with no subscription.
Is a cloud phone system reliable enough for a busy team?
Yes, with a stable internet connection. Calls can ring on the browser, desktop and mobile apps at the same time, so if one device or connection has a problem the call still reaches your team — and AI overflow catches anything nobody can answer.
Does TalkerIQ work with my CRM?
Yes. TalkerIQ integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Zoho and others, plus Zapier, webhooks and an API. Calls, recordings, summaries and outcomes are logged automatically.
