Its offices sit in Lytteltown Office Park on Shelanti Avenue in Die Hoewes.

A wholesale platform sold through a channel
Cloud voice is delivered over the internet, so the line into your office decides call quality more than the platform does. With Session Telecoms there is a second thing to weigh: the business is built around resellers, and more than 350 of them sell on the platform. That shapes what you actually buy. Support, billing and the service level usually sit with the reseller rather than with the company carrying the minutes, so establish early who answers the phone when a call path breaks. The porting numbers are the strongest signal of platform maturity here, and porting is exactly where inexperience hurts. Ask who owns your port, what the fallback is if it stalls, and whether your quote is direct or through the channel. Other platforms sit in the cloud PBX directory.
Who Session Telecoms is a fit for
- Resellers and IT companies wanting a wholesale voice platform behind their own brand
- Businesses porting a large block of existing numbers to a hosted service
- Buyers who want voice and FTTX from a single upstream supplier

Does Session Telecoms sell directly to businesses?
The model is largely wholesale, with over 350 active resellers selling on the platform. You can approach the company directly, but establish upfront whether the support and billing relationship will sit with them or with a reseller.
How long has Session Telecoms been operating?
The company states more than 15 years in the industry. It does not publish a specific founding year, so treat the figure as the company’s own claim.
Can they port my existing numbers?
Yes. Session Telecoms states more than 100,000 ported numbers on its platform, which is a substantial porting track record. Ask for the expected timeline and what happens to inbound calls during the cutover.
What internet speed do I need for hosted voice?
Roughly 100kbps of stable upload per concurrent call is the usual planning figure, but stability matters more than raw speed. Jitter and packet loss break calls long before bandwidth does, so ask how the line will be prioritised.
What does Session Telecoms charge?
No pricing is published. In a wholesale model the rate depends on volume and on whether you buy direct or through a reseller, so ask for a written quote covering per-extension, per-minute and porting costs.
What happens to calls when the power goes out?
Hosted voice stops at your premises when the router does. A UPS on the router and switch keeps desk phones working, and calls can be diverted to mobile numbers automatically. Confirm that failover is configured rather than assumed.
