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/.

AI-Connect is particularly tailored for small and micro-businesses that face the challenge of managing a high volume of calls and appointments with limited resources. This service eliminates the need for a traditional call center by using AI to engage in natural, free-flowing conversations with callers. This allows businesses to manage calls more efficiently, from routing to schedule management and answering frequently asked questions.

Home Business Magazine’s coverage features Phone.com CEO, Ari Rabban’s thoughts on how AI can be a game-changer for small businesses that want the benefits of the latest technology without all the complexity.

You can’t cut hair and answer the phone at the same time. You can’t cook in a commercial kitchen or grill and take reservations or pick up food orders. You can’t see a client, and take a call and book another client appointment, at the same time. Inbound calls remain a basic, critical, communication tool for millions of small, businesses. But millions of people who work on their own have limited means to manage those calls. Old school voicemail is as good as lost business.

In this podcast Amber Newman of Phone.com walks us through AI-Connect. 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.

We see how AI-Connect works, including its ability to handle responses beyond yes and no. People use jargon, and AI-Connect handles jargon. AI-Connect also learns as it goes, improving with each use.

Newark, NJ (December 7, 2020) — Phone.com today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named Phone.com Video Meeting Service a 2020 TMCnet Video Conferencing Excellence Award winner.

Phone.com Video Meetings deliver seamless collaboration from anywhere and on any device. Users can easily conduct video conferences, send instant messages to colleagues, as well as share screens and documents with ease.

As one of the best and most innovative platforms, Phone.com’s Video Meeting Service offers the most comprehensive, adaptable user experience for today’s work-from-anywhere professional who needs access to easy-to-use cloud services for remote meetings and video communications – regardless of device.

 “For more than 12 years, Phone.com has developed leading-edge, mobile-first communications solutions that help businesses become agile,” said CEO and Co-Founder of Phone.com, Ari Rabban. “We are honored to receive this award as our HD Video Meetings Service fosters collaboration across disparate locations.

“With each new feature and upgrade, our cloud-based business phone system and unified communication services add more value, helping workers remain productive and connected, regardless of their location.”

As a client-less offering, anyone can start or join a meeting from their web browser without ever having to download, install or update applications.

“Today’s small business users deserve enterprise-grade, omnichannel communications without complexity, the hassle of long-term contracts or exorbitant pricing,” added Rabban. “Our customers need unified communications and collaboration services that are as flexible as they are easy to use, so that’s what we developed.”

Phone.com takes security seriously, especially for healthcare workers. The company’s business communications solutions are HIPAA-compliant, user information is only used to serve the user better and it is not handed out to third-party providers outside of the service, no data is shared on social media, and meetings are locked and held between invited participants only – without fear of intrusion or “hijacking” of video cameras.

Unlike free services trying to remake themselves as business collaboration tools, Phone.com video meetings offer end-to-end encryption, no matter the device, browser or location. With this client-less, cloud-based service, video and audio conferences are protected using enterprise-grade code, each of which is rigorously tested before going to market.

Phone.com is a comprehensive cloud-based business phone system that offers enterprise-grade, unified communications and collaboration (UCaaS) services without requiring any contract or large up-front investment. Its award-winning platform includes HD voice, video conferencing, text messaging, collaboration, fax, audio conferencing, and many other features that can be used with a physical phone, a mobile device, or on a PC.
