Why Victoria businesses choose North Star.
What makes us the right IT partner for organizations in Victoria, British Columbia.
One vendor for phones and IT.
Managing your VoIP system alongside your IT environment means we can troubleshoot call-quality issues that cross network and system boundaries, something a standalone phone vendor cannot do.
Remote and on-site support in {CITY}.
Most VoIP issues are resolved remotely. When physical hardware needs attention in Victoria, we dispatch a technician rather than leaving you on hold with an out-of-province call centre.
Modern features, lower cost.
Cloud VoIP typically costs less per line than a traditional PBX when hardware and maintenance are factored in. We provide a cost comparison before any purchase decision.
Common questions about VoIP Phones.
What is VoIP and how is it different from a traditional phone system?
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) routes phone calls over your internet connection rather than traditional phone lines. Cloud-hosted VoIP eliminates on-premise PBX hardware, reduces per-line costs, and lets staff take calls on any device from anywhere.
Can we keep our existing phone numbers?
Yes. We port your existing business numbers to the new VoIP system. The porting process takes one to two weeks and is managed so there is no gap in service during the transition.
What internet speed do we need for VoIP?
Each active call uses roughly 100 kbps of bandwidth. A 10 Mbps business internet connection can typically support 20 or more simultaneous calls with capacity to spare. We assess your connection as part of the deployment scoping.
Does VoIP work if the internet goes down?
Calls route to voicemail or mobile failover numbers during an internet outage. For organizations that need zero downtime, we can add a cellular backup connection to the deployment.

Because the system is managed in the cloud, the physical infrastructure in your Victoria office is minimal, typically requiring only a reliable internet connection and a properly configured network.
