Which phone systems are compatible?

In general, any IP- or VoIP-enabled phone system is compatible with peoplefone VoIP. For many models, peoplefone is also a certified provider, which ensures particularly simple and reliable integration.

Why do I need a phone system (PBX)?

A phone system (e.g., peoplefone vPBX or 3CX) enables efficient communication within a company, between locations, and with external partners. It manages calls, offers features such as voicemail, call forwarding, and conference calls, and often supports integration with other communication systems. Modern systems are usually hosted in the cloud, but there are also on-premises solutions that can be installed locally.

Phone Numbers & Number Portability

Are there any additional costs involved in number porting?

Swiss telephone numbers can be ported to peoplefone from any Swiss telecoms provider. A one-off fee applies for the porting process.

It is also possible to port foreign telephone numbers from many countries, subject to a fee. However, this varies from country to country.

 

 

Can I keep my phone number?

Yes, in most cases, existing landline and mobile numbers can be transferred without any problems.

How do I get a Swiss telephone number?

There are several options:

  • Swiss telephone numbers can be ordered directly via your customer portal. You can choose both the area code and the number you want.
  • You can order a new telephone number.
  • Alternatively, you can port a number from another provider.
     

Is it possible to port international numbers?

Yes, peoplefone supports the porting of international numbers. You can find a list of countries where it is possible to port a number to peoplefone here.

 

 

What happens if it is not possible to port your number to peoplefone?

If, for technical or contractual reasons, it is not possible to port your number to peoplefone, peoplefone offers the option of obtaining a new number. You can choose an alternative number from peoplefone and continue to use it.

If you wish to keep your existing number for your business, we will inform you of the reason for the rejection and assist you in correcting the details so that the porting request can be resubmitted. In most cases, this involves providing a new, corrected power of attorney.

What is the difference between full and partial number porting?

  • Full number porting: All subscriptions under the same contract are cancelled at the end of the notice period.
     
  • Partial number porting: Only the desired numbers are ported. The remaining services remain with the previous provider. Some providers replace the ported numbers with technical or fictitious numbers.

If the information is correct and you are still not receiving emails, please contact finance@peoplefone.ch. 

Our telecommunications costs are higher than usual this month—how can I check this?

The best way to track higher costs is by reviewing your detailed call log and billing statement. To do this, follow these steps: 

  • 1. Check your call history: Use the link in your billing email or log in to peoplefone.ch and navigate to Communication Overview > Landline Overview. There, specifically check for:

  • Calls to special and value-added service numbers (e.g., 0900 numbers).

  • Calls to international destinations or mobile networks (if these are not covered by your selected plan).

  • International roaming or usage exceeding included data allowances.

  • 2. Check your flat rate and included data allowance: Verify whether any limits on your subscription or included minutes have been exceeded.

  • 3. Review subscription and license changes: Controlled adjustments, such as newly activated add-on services, additional phone numbers, or modified licenses, are also reflected on your monthly bill.

If you are unable to identify the cause of the cost discrepancy yourself or suspect a billing error, please contact finance@peoplefone.ch with your customer number and invoice number.

What are the advantages of postpaid (billed monthly)?
