Business phone service / The Woodlands, Texas

Business phone service for The Woodlands offices and medical practices.

The Woodlands is home to energy company offices, medical practices along the major hospital campuses, and professional firms that serve the north Houston area. Many have staff who live north of the city and work partly from home. Texwan sets up phone systems that keep the office number working whether people are at a desk in Town Center or at home in Conroe.

We configure everything remotely, ship phones ready to plug in, and plan storm routing before hurricane season.

Threat Briefing

Hurricane Harvey’s rainfall caused catastrophic flooding across southeastern Texas in 2017, including Montgomery County. (NOAA NHC)

Hosted phone systems keep numbers reachable when offices are closed, but only if remote users have the apps and know the plan. Ready.gov business guidance recommends testing communications plans in advance. (Ready.gov)

Legacy and odd setups

Old phone systems in The Woodlands? We can work with them.

Offices in The Woodlands that moved in years ago may still have an on-premises Avaya, Mitel or Nortel system in a server room. We can connect it to SIP trunks for now, or move users to a hosted system floor by floor. Teams leaving 3CX get their extensions and queues rebuilt before cutover.

How it works

Remote setup, phones shipped ready to use

  1. Review. Send us your current bill or a list of numbers, users and sites. We map extensions, call flows and anything unusual.
  2. Build. We build the hosted system or SIP trunk configuration and program each phone (Yealink, Yeastar, Grandstream or Sangoma) with its extension and buttons.
  3. Ship. Phones arrive pre-configured and labeled. Your staff plugs them in; no technician visit is needed for a standard setup.
  4. Port and support. Numbers port on a date you approve, and support is remote, with every request answered within one business day.
