Internet & phones in Te Atatū
When the internet drops, your IT provider and your internet provider shouldn't point at each other. We arrange business fibre, add a backup connection and set up cloud phones, then look after all of it alongside your IT.
Onsite technicians cover Te Atatū. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Internet & phones for Te Atatū businesses
Te Atatu Peninsula and Te Atatu South are mostly residential, with local shopping centres, medical and dental practices, trades businesses, early childhood centres and many home-based professionals who appreciate the quick motorway access. Commercial premises are generally small.
Many businesses here are owner-operators with a few staff, using cloud accounting and phones more than desktop computers. The common gaps are shared passwords, no multi-factor sign-in, personal email used for business and no backup, all of which are inexpensive to fix and remove a lot of risk.
Phones and internet used to be separate from IT. Now the phones run over the internet and the internet runs through the firewall, so a problem in one is a problem in all three. Having one team responsible removes the finger-pointing.
We visit Te Atatu practices, offices and home businesses for setups and fixes, and provide remote help for most requests. Pay as you go suits small teams with occasional needs.
What's included
Number porting
Your existing numbers moved across without losing calls, including 0800 numbers.
Teams calling
Phone numbers inside Microsoft Teams, so staff make and take calls from the app they already use.
Business fibre
The right plan for your address and team size, ordered and installed with your network.
Copper switch-off
If your old lines are being retired, we move alarms, EFTPOS and phones before the deadline.
Backup internet
A second connection on a different network that takes over automatically if fibre fails.
Cloud phone systems
Hosted phone systems with desk phones, mobile apps, call queues, recording and voicemail to email.
Is it right for your Te Atatū office?
This is a good fit if:
- Your phones still run on copper lines or an old onsite system
- An internet outage would stop your business
- Staff work between home and the office
- You want fewer bills and one number to call when something breaks
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Internet & phones in Te Atatū: questions
We use personal Gmail for our business. Should we change?
A business email on your own domain looks more professional, is easier to secure and stays with the business when people leave. We can move you to Microsoft 365 and bring your old email across.
What does an early childhood centre need from IT?
Reliable devices for staff and the centre management system, secure handling of children's records and photos, and Wi-Fi that covers the building. We set those up and keep them maintained.
Do you sell the internet plan or does a provider?
We arrange the plan with a wholesale provider and look after it as part of your IT, so you have one point of contact.
Is Teams calling right for us?
If your staff already live in Teams, usually yes. If you need a reception console, hunt groups or recording rules, a hosted phone system may suit better. We'll explain the trade-offs.
Can we keep our phone numbers?
Yes. Landline and 0800 numbers can be moved to a new system. We manage the port and time the change to avoid missed calls.
How long does the switch take?
Fibre installs depend on the building and provider. Phone system changes are usually done in a week or two once numbers are confirmed.
