How remote teams call without an office phone

A distributed team doesn't have a shared office line to fall back on. QuikRing gives every team member browser-based calling billed from one team balance, so anyone can call a client or candidate from wherever they're working, without a separate phone system to administer.

What your team needsQuikRingIn practice
Mostly outbound calls abroadCoveredBrowser calling to 220 destinations, with the price shown before each call.
A shared company numberCoveredRent a US or Canada number for the team and choose who it rings.
Spend control per personCoveredA monthly limit, allowed countries, a highest price per minute and calling hours for each member.
Inbound menus and queuesNot coveredNo phone menu or call queue. A rented number rings the people you choose.
Desk phonesNot coveredNone. Calls run in the browser, so there is no desk phone or other hardware to set up.
Emergency callsNot coveredQuikRing cannot call emergency numbers such as 911. Use a mobile or landline phone.

If your team mostly places outbound calls, QuikRing is the right fit: one shared balance, a limit for each person, no per-seat fee, and the rate shown before every call.

Practical tips

One balance instead of expense reports

Without an office line, people tend to call from their own phones and expense it. A shared team balance puts every call in one place, and the owner sees spending by person and by day.

Set limits before the first call

Give each member a monthly limit and the countries they may call, so a long call or a wrong destination can't drain the shared balance.

What it costs

A ⁨30⁩-minute client call to a landline in ⁨Germany⁩ costs ⁨$1.80⁩, at ⁨$0.06⁩ per minute, from the shared balance.

Frequently asked questions

Do all team members need to be in the same country?

No — QuikRing works from any browser with an internet connection, so team members can call from almost any country and still draw from the same shared team balance.

Is there a per-seat fee?

No. A team of up to 100 members (5 before your first top-up) pays only for the minutes used, from one prepaid balance.

Do we get a business number?

Every Team Calling package includes one US or Canada number, free for 90 days. Buy another package and it stays free.

Do we need a contract or a monthly fee?

No. Packages are prepaid, with no contract and no monthly minimum. Each top-up has a minimum amount, shown on the Team Calling page.

Is call quality good enough over home Wi-Fi?

Calls run over WebRTC on Twilio's and Telnyx's carrier networks. A steady connection matters more than a fast one, and calls show a quality score afterward when your browser reports one.

Good to know

  • Calls are billed per started minute, at the rate shown before you dial. There is no connection fee.
  • Busy, unanswered and failed calls cost nothing.
  • The person you call needs no app, no internet connection and no smartphone: their phone rings like any other call.
  • QuikRing can't call emergency numbers such as 911, 112 or 999. Use a mobile or landline phone for those.
