Innovative Business Voice Platform Available for $150 per Year For Startups
Berkeley, Calif. — December 2, 2013 — Telnexus LLC, an innovative provider of high-touch communications services to small and medium-sized enterprises, announced it would start reselling the 2600hz cloud telecom platform to small-to-midsized enterprises. To launch the new service, Telnexus now offers members of a Bay Area business association a Charter Subscription of $150 per user per year or $15 per user per month via the web site BerkeleyPhone.net.
“At Telnexus, we need a way to take the revenue that feeds the telecom monster and change that into solutions and services the customer can use. 2600hz helps Telnexus disrupt the telecom value chain by helping us to move subscription revenue to customer service,” said Vernon Keenan, CEO of Telnexus.
“Telnexus has been looking for a scalable telecom platform, and 2600hz is what we’ve been looking for. 2600hz’s Kazoo platform gives us more than the ability to host the traditional business telephony user, because Kazoo v3’s mobile and messaging features gives Telnexus and our customers the building blocks for next-generation messaging applications,” added Mr. Keenan.
“2600hz is excited to welcome Telnexus to the Kazoo family. As the leading provider of modern communications infrastructure we know that Telnexus will be able to offer strategic, value-based solutions, and have a lot of fun doing it. Vernon’s approach to the market is innovative and we’re looking forward to seeing where he takes our technology,” said Darren Schreiber, CEO of 2600hz.
