Horizon has many business features with an emphasis on control and administration through the web that takes the burden away from your IT team. The system can quickly be configured according to your organisation’s changing requirements, while your employees can manage calls easily and effectively. With only a minimal capital outlay, a reliable and proven service and a jargon-free approach to telephony and communications, Horizon is suitable for any size of business looking to improve its productivity and image.

Features you can easily control

Horizon puts you in complete control of your phone system and comes with an extensive range of call handling and management features, all operated through an easy-to-use web interface.

On demand service with no hidden costs

As Horizon is hosted on your behalf, you only pay for what you need on a simple per-seat basis. As you’re not buying a PBX, there’s no major hardware investment and no financing costs to consider.

Lower call costs

Horizon offers all the cost benefits of IP telephony including free site-to-site calls and cheaper call rates. If you use Horizon together with our mobile services you benefit from free calls between your fixed and mobile devices.

Enables flexible working

Horizon helps businesses become more efficient by enabling flexible work environments through hot-desking, home working and extending the service to mobile devices.

Number choice

You have total flexibility with the numbers you want to use. You can keep your existing numbers or get new numbers. Extend your business reach and use any local area number no matter where you are located. Have a London number in Leeds!

Upgrade to Horizon Collaborate

Easily include all the business benefits of a Unified Communications and Collaboration solution supplied as a service, fully integrated with Horizon telephony.

A business continuity solution

Unexpected events such as snow, floods, strikes or utility roadworks won’t disrupt your business. Because Horizon sits in the cloud, the service provides business continuity features that allow your organisation to carry on making and taking calls, whatever the circumstances.

One number anywhere

Horizon integrates your fixed and mobile capabilities so that you never miss a call. Callers need only dial one number to reach your desk phone and mobile phone simultaneously; ongoing calls can be moved seamlessly from one device to another without hanging up and a single voicemail box can be accessed from any device.

A choice of devices

From entry level to premium

Horizon can be used with a range of devices. We offer handsets from a choice of manufacturers from entry level for low to moderate call volumes up to premium business media phones delivering best-in-class desktop productivity for corporate executives and managers. We also have an easy-to-use desktop softclient and mobile app

Soft Client

If you don’t currently have Gamma Mobiles and are still in contract with another provider, don’t worry. You can still bring the power of Horizon to your Windows or Mac desktop, laptop, Android or iOS device.

The Horizon Desktop Client option lets you connect your office phone to your preferred business device, such as a laptop or PC. It works seamlessly with the Horizon service and mobile client to ensure that you can control your user account and handle calls efficiently, wherever you are. The Desktop Client provides a new way to interact with Horizon and, using existing devices, you can reduce the cost of entry to a hosted solution, as well as minimising telephony costs incurred whilst on the move or in different locations.

The Android and iOS Apps enable users to make and receive calls on a mobile device, as well as providing access to key settings for their service. It provides all the same functionality as the desktop client above, with the exception of Click to Dial and Group Chat. This is an ideal bolt-on for users who often work remotely or who are regularly on the move and need access to Wi-Fi.

Reduce the cost of entry to an IP hosted service by using the desktop client as a softphone and simply adding a headset
Reduce telephony costs when on the move or in temporary access points such as hotels and customer premises
Connect customers who use other messaging services to your company so you can quickly communicate with them and build a new route for direct customer support
Directly control your user account to implement Call Forwarding, Do Not Disturb or other call features
