What is a cloud business phone system?

It is a complete communications system hosted and managed in the cloud instead of running on proprietary equipment in your office. Planet brings calling and collaboration together while your business keeps its familiar numbers and extensions.

Talk Through Your Setup

One place for the whole conversation.

Move naturally between the ways your team communicates. Start with a message, make a call, open a meeting, or share a screen without building the workday around separate tools.

Calling, messaging, meetings, and sharing work together.
