Award recognizes companies whose unique culture and commitment to employee satisfaction drives better results

Newark, NJ (December 8, 2025)— Phone.com announced today that TMCnet, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities via in person and digital marketing campaigns, has named them a recipient of a prestigious 2025 Workplace Excellence Award for Tech Culture.

Launched in 2015, The TMCnet Workplace Excellence Awards for Tech Culture recognize those tech companies who excel in all areas of Corporate Culture, employee satisfaction and retention.

As hybrid workplaces have become the new normal, Corporate Culture has taken on a whole new meaning as companies and their Team Members adjust to teleworking, hybrid work schedules, and an abundance of teleconferences.

Phone.com delivers enterprise-grade unified communications and collaboration (UCaaS) without contracts or large up-front costs. The award-winning platform brings together HD voice, video conferencing, texting, collaboration tools, fax, audio conferencing, and more—accessible from a physical phone, mobile device, or PC. With mobility at the core, teams can stay connected and professional from anywhere, on any device.

Phone.com proved to TMCnet’s editors and judges that they excel at keeping their team engaged, motivated, recognized for their achievements, and valued for their contributions to company goals.

“We believe a great product starts with a great team — that’s why we’ve always made culture, collaboration, and mutual respect central to how we operate,” said Phone.com CEO, Ari Rabban. “Being named a 2025 Tech Culture Award winner is a tribute not only to our innovation, but to every person at Phone.com who brings passion, dedication, and teamwork to the table every day.”

“The mission of TMCnet’s Tech Culture Awards is quite simple. We have surveyed and selected companies who are taking steps to attract and retain the best and brightest tech talent – and are willing to go the extra mile to provide what they believe is the ideal tech culture”, said Rich Tehrani, TMC’s CEO and Group Editor-in-Chief for TMCnet.

“Phone.com has demonstrated to the editors of TMCnet that they are committed to growth through providing a truly distinct and upbeat environment, rewarding employees for their contributions, and focusing on work-life balance. For that, we applaud and recognize them,” added Tehrani.

The complete list of 2025 Workplace Excellence Awards for Tech Culture winners are now posted on the Tech Culture blog on TMCnet. Winners will also be featured on TMCnet.

Phone.com Launches ProSIM, Revolutionizing Mobile Communications for Small Businesses with Cellular Calls on a Business Phone Number

Newark, NJ – April 15, 2025 – Phone.com, a leading cloud-based communications provider for small businesses, today announced the launch of ProSIM. This groundbreaking solution seamlessly integrates mobile devices with its robust Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform. Developed in partnership with Tango Networks, ProSIM delivers true Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC), empowering small businesses with unparalleled mobile flexibility and control.

ProSIM transforms any compatible mobile phone into a full-featured extension of a business’s Phone.com system using the eSIM (embedded SIM) capabilities of modern mobile devices and the cellular voice network. By leveraging Tango Networks’ advanced technology, ProSIM enables Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), allowing business owners and frontline workers to use their personal mobile phones for business communications without compromising privacy or security. This solution provides a native mobile experience, ensuring seamless call handling, text messaging, and access to essential UCaaS features directly from the mobile device’s dialer.

“ProSIM represents a significant leap forward in mobile UCaaS for small businesses,” said Ari Rabban, CEO of Phone.com. “In today’s dynamic work environment, mobility is paramount. ProSIM eliminates the need for separate business phones and reduces the dependency on a distinct mobile VoIP app. This approach also offers the cost-effectiveness and flexibility that small businesses need to thrive.”

Key Benefits of ProSIM:

True Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC): Seamlessly integrates mobile devices with the Phone.com UCaaS platform.
Best Call Quality: Use of the cellular voice network eliminates the challenges with Over-the-Top (OTT) mobile apps that rely on mobile data and WiFi.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): Enables employees to use their personal mobile phones for business communications.
Cost-Effectiveness: Eliminates the need for separate business phones.

Centralized Management: Provides control over business communications through the Phone.com platform.

Improved Security and Compliance: Ensures business calls and texts, even those subject to HIPAA and SOC II compliance, are routed through the secure Phone.com network.

Addresses the needs of frontline workers: Allows for seamless connection with desk less workers in service and field-work roles.

The integration with Tango Networks’ technology ensures that business calls and texts are routed through the Phone.com platform, providing centralized management, call recording, and analytics. This allows businesses to maintain control over their communications while offering frontline workers the convenience of using their personal devices.

“We are thrilled to partner with Phone.com to bring the power of fixed mobile convergence to small businesses,” said Andrew Silver, Co-Founder and CTO of Tango Networks. “ProSIM leverages our innovative technology to deliver a seamless and secure mobile UCaaS experience, enabling businesses to extend their communication capabilities beyond the office and into the hands of their mobile workforce.”

UCaaS industry expert Dave Michels, Founder of TalkingPointz, has emphasized mobile-first communications and the inevitable convergence of UCaaS and cellular. “It seems normal to have totally separate systems for wireless and wired business communications, but the costs, complexity, and compromises are not normal. Businesses of all sizes will move toward SIM-based UCaaS as their providers enable it. ProSIM is ahead of the pack with a seamless approach to mobile business communications.”

ProSIM is available immediately to Phone.com customers. For more information, please visit https://www.phone.com/prosim/.

About Phone.com:

AI-Connect blends NLP, NLU and LLM with goal-oriented, voice AI to elevate call handling and appointment-setting for service-oriented businesses, independent contractors, retail, restaurants and hospitality, real estate, and solopreneurs

Newark, NJ (May 8, 2024) – Phone.com today introduced AI-Connect, a breakthrough conversational voice artificial intelligence (AI) service. As the latest advancement to Phone.com’s business phone system, AI-Connect creates a seamless and efficient communication experience for businesses and their callers.

For small and micro businesses that need to seize every opportunity to convert interest into sales but lack the luxury of an administrative team or a call center to manage the influx of prospects or sales calls, AI-Connect is tailor-made for handling inbound leads and orchestrating appointments without the clunkiness of cookie-cutter call routing or the cost of a contact center.

AI-Connect is designed to interact in natural, free-flowing conversations with callers, enabling it to efficiently handle tasks such as call  routing, schedule management, or answering FAQs. This capability is made possible by combining state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language understanding (NLU), natural language processing (NLP), text-to-speech (TTS) and large language model (LLM) technologies.

 

What truly sets AI-Connect apart is its ability to create a goal-oriented and fluid dialog. The company’s innovative application of NLU/NLP hybrid infrastructure, coupled with LLM, provides exceptional intent recognition. Also, of note is how the new service uses machine learning to provide extracted call analytics containing detailed information and custom recommendations for each interaction.

“AI-Connect is much more than just a service or new iteration of AI-enabled CX; it’s a strategic game-changer that strips away the burden of expensive, complicated technology designed for small businesses,” said Phone.com CEO and Co-Founder, Ari Rabban. “As part of our UCaaS platform, AI-Connect demolishes traditional barriers, granting businesses of all sizes access to a realm of efficiency and expertise that would typically demand significant investment and time.”

When initiating a call to an AI-Connect script, callers are warmly welcomed by a professional voice, offering them a range of convenient options. From seamlessly connecting with a specific contact or department to effortlessly scheduling, rescheduling, or canceling appointments, AI-Connect ensures that Phone.com customers optimize every interaction, regardless of their availability to answer.

Leveraging advanced call screening capabilities, AI-Connect efficiently filters out spam and other unwanted calls, safeguarding valuable time for both business owners and callers.

Sophisticated conversational design orchestrates the dialogue between AI-Connect and callers, optimizing call flow, and providing the most effective responses in real-time. Intuitive UX makes for easy setup, empowering businesses to effortlessly configure and implement AI-Connect to align with their respective requirements.

“Innovation is in our DNA and It is with great anticipation that we move forward into the next chapter of communications,” remarked Alon Cohen, Phone.com‘s esteemed Chief Technology Officer whose engineering acumen led to the world’s first VoIP call. “It has been 20 years since the FCC’s Pulver Order, which heralded a new era by exempting specific IP-based communication services from traditional regulatory constraints. Now, we stand poised to explore the transformative potential of AI-assisted interactions. This marks our journey into a future defined by intelligent solutions and reaffirms our commitment to changing the way people communicate.”

Phone.com celebrates 15 straight years of Y-o-Y growth, marked by an impressive surge in market share and a robust clientele exceeding 50,000 businesses. Bolstered by a steadfast commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and services at accessible price points, the company’s strategy resonates seamlessly with businesses across all scales, propelling its sustained growth trajectory.
