Introducing our latest service – Outbound Call Recording

Friday, May 28th, 2010

We’re really pleased to release for our customers our latest service – Outbound Call Recording.

This service gives you a facility for monitoring your businesses important outbound calls, to protect your staff, to identify opportunities for development and ensure your customers are receiving the service you’d expect.

MONTHLY SERVICE – £9.95 per month

It works from any UK landline or mobile handset and costs nothing to set up. There’s no lengthy contract to sign up for either. For each month you want to use it you’ll pay £9.95 + VAT.

HOW IT WORKS

To use this service, you go through just a few simple steps. There’s no software/hardware to buy and install and no need to find storage space for tapes or discs of recordings.

Once you order it, we give you a dedicated Geographic number (starting 01 or 02). Each time you want to record one of your outbound calls:

  • Dial your dedicated number
  • Enter your PIN code
  • Dial the number you want to call

After this it’s just like you’ve dialled your customer directly; with the exception that within seconds of finishing the call you can listen to and download the recording from the Novero Platform.

PAYING FOR CALLS

The cost of calls is managed through our Pay As You Go system (much like our inbound call charges). We deduct the call charges from the credit on your account as you make your calls. We’ll only deduct the cost for however many seconds you’re on a call.

  • To call a UK landline will cost 4p per minute*
  • To call a UK mobile will cost 14p per minute*

*These rates include a call recording surcharge. Costs will vary for other call destinations.

To add this to your account, login to the Novero Platform and look for the ‘Add Additional Services’ link on the left hand side. Click on this and simply follow the steps to set up and start using the Outbound Call Recording service.

Problems with BT Exchange in Paddington continue

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Several million litres of water remain in the basement of the North Paddington exchange and until this water can be pumped out electrical power cannot be restored. Other than issues with numbers hosted in the affected area, our contingency plans are operating well and will remain in place until full interconnect services are restored.
There is no official estimated time for a fix but it is likely to be several days time.

Flood at BT exchange causes national Telecoms issues

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

On Wednesday 31st of April BT reported a flood which caused an electrical fire in their exchange in London, Paddington. This has caused significant outages in North London to services such as Telephone, TV, Internet, VoIP services and even traffic lights.

The BBC report in more detail: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8597399.stm

TTNC customers in the area might be affected due to their location, however our London numbers (0203, 0207 and 0208) are unaffected. TTNC customers may also experience issues when paying for Call Credit or Additional services as our Payment Gateway is located in Paddington and connection issues are causing certain bank authorisations to be unavailable. If you receive a message when paying regarding a “Problem” or “Error” with the payment gateway then please either try again later or try to use another card from a different bank or provider.

Most issues should be rectified due to Telecoms traffic being re-routed through other paths but customers are still experiencing issues with certain services.

TTNC Releases New Services and New Updates

Friday, November 27th, 2009

At TTNC we provide business’ with many services which allow them to be in total control of their numbers without having to constantly monitor them. With Missed Call Alerts, our customers would receive an email alert every time a call to their number is missed and with our Voicemail service all messages are sent as alerts to our customers via email too.

Understanding that business today is extremely mobile, TTNC has moved to try and provide this level of control and notification whilst on the move. This is why we have introduced our new facility of SMS Message Alerts.

SMS Alerts direct to up to 3 mobile numbers†

All of our current services, which alert you via email, can now have SMS Messages enabled as well as, or in place of email alerts. These include;

You are able to specify up to 3 mobile numbers for your SMS Message Alerts, similar to the 3 email addresses for Email Alerts. You can read more detail on our Alert Services page.

†SMS Alerts are charged at 15 pence per message (deducted from your Call Credit) or alternatively you can purchase a bulk of SMS Messages, which are stored in your SMS Credit Balance. A new facility is available via the Top up section of the Novero Platform in order to purchase SMS Credits.

In accordance with this new payment system SMS Charge Statistics are now available to view on your account as well as Low SMS Credit alerts similar to Low Call Credit Balance alerts.

Customisible Low Call Credit and Low SMS Credit Alerts

With this new level of control we are also providing our customers with Customisable Low Call Credit and Low SMS Credit alert Thresholds. Until now Thresholds were set at £15, £10 and £5 remaining but you can now change these to amounts more appropriate to your business. Alerts will be sent to you once your Call Credit Balance or SMS Credit Balance passes the set Thresholds. You are able to receive alerts by Email or SMS Message to up to three recipients.

How to take advantage
In order to use these new facilities you will need to have an account for our Novero Platform, which every customer gets after purchasing a telephone number from our website. Once you have logged into your Novero account, these options will be available to you provided you have the relevant services purchased and enabled on your account. For further assistance please consult our online Novero Platform Manual.
