Business phone system Summerside | VoIP provider in Summerside
For the business phone system Summerside companies want without buying or maintaining hardware, AgileIP runs a fully managed hosted PBX and handles setup, number porting, staff orientation, and ongoing support. There is no on-site PBX to maintain and no multi-year contract to sign. Summerside businesses get local 902 and 782 numbers, with a shop on the waterfront able to share its account with another in Kensington or O'Leary.
Why Summerside businesses choose AgileIP
Infrastructure AgileIP owns and runs
AgileIP bought the servers that carry its hosted PBX and keeps them for that work. With the call's path staying on one infrastructure, call quality holds steady out along the waterfront and up to Kensington.
No long-term contracts
Everything is month-to-month, with no multi-year lock-in and no penalty for leaving. AgileIP keeps your business by earning it - with call quality and service, every month.
Setup, training, and support included
Installation, a practical orientation for staff, and responsive ongoing support come with every line. The person who scopes the deployment stays involved through go-live and after.

Summerside industries AgileIP serves
Waterfront gift and craft shops
A visitor who bought a quilt in July calls in October to order another, and the message left after closing arrives as an email, so the owner can reply the next morning.
Thrift and consignment stores
Consignors asking about a payout choose that option in the greeting and reach the person who keeps the consignment records, while callers with a donation question reach the sales floor.
Bicycle shops
In spring the repair bench books up, and a call to the bench extension while the mechanic has both hands on a wheel rolls over to the sales counter with forward on no answer.
Art supply stores
A teacher ordering supplies for a class is transferred from the counter to the staff member who looks after school accounts, who can check the order against what is in stock.
Office supply and stationery stores
Business customers phone in a standing order and are answered in turn from a call queue at the order desk.
Bedding and linen stores
When a phone rings at the back while staff are folding stock, the person at the front counter answers it from there with call pick up.
What does AgileIP build around the business phone system Summerside stores use?
A hosted PBX that AgileIP owns, operates, and manages end to end, so there is no phone system hardware to buy or look after at the office. Every line carries the auto attendant, call queues, ring groups, voicemail-to-email, call transfer, and call forwarding, and arrives configured, with installation, a practical orientation for staff, and responsive ongoing support. The AgileIP softphone, call recording, and queue callback are available as add-ons.
Can a Summerside account include Kensington and Miscouche?
Yes, along with Wellington, O’Leary, Alberton, and Tignish. Locations across Prince County share one system, dial one another by extension without a charge, and each one answers on its own 902 or 782 number.
Which local area codes can a business keep or add?
A 902 number a business already uses comes across when it is ported and stays the number customers know. Because established 902 numbers rarely free up, new numbers on the account usually come on 782, routed to a branch, a team, or a new employee’s desk. Toll-free numbers covering Canada and the United States are available as an add-on.
Can a Summerside store share a phone system with a store in Charlottetown?
Yes. One account covers both, so a store in Summerside and another in Charlottetown share extensions and transfer calls between them, and customers of each store keep dialling the same local number as before.
How does a Summerside business change its greeting or hours?
It asks AgileIP. A holiday closure, a new greeting, or an extra extension is set up remotely on request, usually without anyone needing to visit the shop.
How does porting an existing number to AgileIP work?
AgileIP manages the transfer with the losing carrier and handles each step of the request. The number keeps working the whole time. The carrier stage usually runs 5 to 10 business days, and the line activates within 48 hours of the carrier’s approval.
