MEPSub Phone · Early access

The phone system that knows the job

MEPSub Phone is our own cloud phone system, built right into MEPSub. Calls, texts and faxes run on one system — and every caller shows up with their customer record and open work orders.

Why built-in

Your phones finally know who’s calling — and why

We built our own PBX instead of bolting on someone else’s, so the phone and the job live in the same system.

Calls land on the job

The caller’s customer record and open work orders pop up before you answer, and every call, recording and voicemail is saved where the work is.

One system: calls, texts, fax

Your business number calls, texts and faxes from the same place — no separate phone portal, texting app or fax machine.

Nothing to host

No PBX box in the closet and no extra phone vendor. Numbers, phones and call flows are set up and changed inside MEPSub.

How a call flows

From the first ring to the job record

1

Caller dials

Before anything rings we check: VIP, blocked or hidden number, and whether they have an open work order.

2

Greeting & menu

Business hours and holidays, a multi-level menu in your own recorded voice, and the recording notice if you record.

3

The right people ring

Ring all, in order, round-robin or longest-idle — or a queue with music, position and call-back. Softphones, desk phones and follow-me cells.

4

Answered with context

Customer and open work orders on screen. Transfer, park, 3-way, or a supervisor listens in.

5

Nobody free?

Personal or company voicemail with a transcript, the AI receptionist, and an automatic text-back.

Every call — answered, missed or voicemail — is logged on the customer and their work order.

Desk phones

Plug in a desk phone. MEPSub sets it up.

Point a Yealink or Poly phone at its MEPSub provisioning link and it configures itself — account, keys and name. Fanvil, Grandstream and Snom have step-by-step settings, and any SIP phone can connect manually.

  • Desk phone and softphone ring together — first answer wins
  • Add MEPSub as a second account next to your current phone system
  • Edit the phone’s keys from MEPSub: speed dials, park, status, queue
  • Live team screen shows who is free, ringing or on a call
  • “Page all” over the office network

Call center tools

Run the phones like a call center — without call-center software

Queues that respect callers

Callers hear their position and estimated wait, can press 1 for a call-back instead of holding, and agents get wrap-up time between calls. Call-backs ring the next free agent, then dial the customer from the company number.

Live wallboard

Waiting callers, longest wait, who’s on a call and who’s free, answer rate and call-backs — refreshed every few seconds, with a big-screen mode for the office TV.

Supervisor & reports

Listen to a live call, whisper to the agent or join in. Reports cover answered %, missed calls, wait times, talk time by person and group, and the busiest hours — with CSV export.

And the rest

Fax, porting, rules and an AI receptionist

Fax lines

Turn any number into a fax line. Incoming faxes arrive as PDFs in MEPSub and by email; send a PDF as a fax and watch it go from queued to delivered.

Bring your numbers

Port your existing numbers in from Settings: a portability check, a pre-filled LOA to sign, and status tracking until the number is live on MEPSub — texting and 911 address included.

Recording & caller ID rules

Record inbound, outbound or internal calls by group or person, announce it, and auto-delete after 30 days to 2 years. Choose which number each person calls out as and where they may dial.

AI receptionist

Optional add-on that answers after hours, when nobody picks up, or every call first — takes a message, books a service visit as a lead, or connects the caller to your team.

Emergency calls: MEPSub Phone’s browser softphone can’t dial 911, and 911 from desk phones is off by default. Keep a cell phone or landline for emergencies.

Questions, answered

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. Port it in from Settings → Phone with a pre-filled LOA and status tracking, or keep the number your workspace already texts from.

Do I need desk phones?

No. Everyone can answer in the browser softphone. Desk phones are optional — Yealink, Poly, Fanvil, Grandstream and Snom are set up from MEPSub, and other SIP phones work with manual settings.

Can it run next to our current phone system?

Yes. A desk phone can carry MEPSub as a second account next to the account it already has, so you can try MEPSub Phone before you switch.

Can I call 911 from MEPSub Phone?

No. The browser softphone cannot dial 911, and 911 from desk phones is off by default. Keep a cell phone or landline for emergencies.

Does it ring my cell phone?

Yes. With follow-me, your cell rings after a few seconds and shows the company number; you press 1 to take the call, so your cell’s voicemail never grabs it. Calling from the MEPSub mobile app is coming next.

Where does it work?

Numbers and calling are for the US and Canada. International calling is not supported.

Is MEPSub Phone available now?

It is rolling out in early access. Request access and we’ll set up your number and call flow with you.

Coming next: calling from the MEPSub mobile app (iOS & Android) and busy lamps (BLF) on desk phones.

Give every call a job number

MEPSub Phone is rolling out now. Tell us how many people answer the phone and we’ll set up your number and call flow with you.
