Coming from the
Telecommunications industry, the founders of
FeatureTel realized that one day - when the
time was right - IP Telephony would change
everything. Early in 2003, we found that the time
had come. With the technology in its fourth generation of
development, it is no longer a 'cutting edge' test. It is
reliable, solid, and ready to deliver on the promises of
making communication easier and less costly.
Our people have
experience on both sides of the wire - being responsible
for purchasing and maintaining telephone systems and
service, and selling and recommending telephone systems
and service - we know that service is the key to our
relationships. When you are making a decision about your
telecommunications options, you'll find we understand what
you are going through because we may have been there
before.
If you are making a
decision about your telecommunications needs, please call
on us. We'll help you decide if FeatureTel is the right
choice for you. And if it is not, we'll point you in the
right direction.

Hurricane Ivan Knocks
out Long Distance Providers - FeatureTel's Disaster
Routing Keeps Customers Talking
Major flooding from
the remnants of Hurricane Ivan knocked out
several major long distance telephone service providers
including Qwest and BellSouth on Friday. Service
throughout North and South Carolina was disrupted as Qwest
(and any service provider who partners with Qwest) was
down for the entire day. Within 20 minutes of being
alerted of the outage this morning, FeatureTel switched
its customers over to a backup system that routed its long
distance service to an alternate provider in an unaffected
area of the country. "That's one of the features of
FeatureTel..." said Paul Levering, CEO of FeatureTel,
"...every system we have has a backup - something
very few businesses could economically afford on their
own. The obvious benefit is that our customers were able
to go on about their business as FeatureTel took care of
their communications services."

Alfred Williams &
Co. Chooses FeatureTel to Upgrade its Communications
Services
Faced with the prospect
of upgrading their existing Nortel system just to continue
receiving technical support, the staff at Alfred Williams
& Co. knew they could do better. After researching
different phone system alternatives, they found that a
VoIP-based system would give them the most features and
functionality, along with reduced costs and hassles for
moves, adds and changes. "We change our showroom and
office layout very often and IP Telephony makes moving
phones a snap" remarked Bobby Koo, IT and Marketing
director - "...but the high cost of a VoIP system
made the choice difficult." FeatureTel offers all of
the features and functionality of a VoIP-based phone
system without the expensive on-site system hardware -
plus, the monthly costs for Local and Long-Distance
services are lower than the previous vendors.
