| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published. For a hosted PBX provider an ECS licence is the relevant category and often sits with the underlying trunk supplier |
| Pricing | Quote-based. No figures are published for voice or connectivity, so ask for the per-extension charge, per-minute call rates and any AI feature licensing as separate items |
| Trading history | The site refers to a thirty-year story but publishes no founding year, so WhichVoIP does not state one |
| Google profile | No Google Business Profile could be found for United Telecoms itself.

Neither can be tied to this business, so no rating is shown |

Both deployment models, and AI features already shipping
Two things stand out on the product side. United Telecoms sells both cloud hosted PBX and on-premise systems, so a business with a working switchboard is not forced into a single migration path, and a site with unreliable connectivity can keep internal calls alive locally. Separately, the AI line is further along than most in this directory: transcription, cloud analytics and AI voice agents are named as current products rather than roadmap items. Ask what each actually does and how it is licensed, because AI features are where per-seat costs quietly multiply. The Aircall contact centre and SIP trunk products round out an offering aimed at businesses with real call volume rather than a handful of desk phones. National coverage is claimed across seven provinces, so establish who attends your site and how fast. Compare alternatives in the cloud PBX directory.
Who United Telecoms is a fit for
- Businesses weighing a hosted PBX against keeping the system on site
- Companies that want call transcription and analytics as standard
- Multi-province operations needing national sales and service

Ask what the AI features cost per seat, since that is where a quote grows. Then say how many extensions you need and across how many sites, whether the system should be hosted or on your premises, whether numbers must be ported, and whether contact centre seats are part of the requirement.

Does United Telecoms offer on-premise as well as cloud?
Yes. Cloud hosted PBX and on-premise PBX systems are both listed. On-premise keeps internal calls working during an internet outage and suits a business not ready to migrate everything at once.
What AI features are included?
The site names AI transcription, cloud analytics and AI voice agents as products. Ask exactly what each does, how accurate transcription is on South African accents, and how the features are licensed, since per-seat AI costs add up quickly.
Where is United Telecoms based?
Unit 9, Cambridge Commercial Park, 22 Witkoppen Road, Paulshof, Johannesburg, with further offices in Cape Town and Durban and national sales and service.
How long has the company been trading?
The site refers to a thirty-year story but publishes no founding year, so WhichVoIP does not state one. Ask for company registration details if trading history matters to your evaluation.
Why is no customer rating shown?
No Google Business Profile could be found for United Telecoms itself. The profile at the same address belongs to United Business Solutions, an office equipment supplier on a different domain, and a “United Telecom NV” result is a closed Belgian company. Neither can be tied to this business, so WhichVoIP shows no rating rather than borrowing one.
What does it cost?
No pricing is published. Ask for the monthly per-extension charge, per-minute call rates, any AI feature licensing and the connectivity cost as separate figures rather than one bundled total.
