We have worked with TCI for many years. Our recent replacement of our old phone system went very well. The news phones were installed on schedule and the transition was seamless. Would recommend.
Wonderful experience working with Connor! He explained everything very clearly throughout the process and was always very responsive and effective from start to finish. Our team is very excited about our new system, and we have had such a positive experience with Connor and with TCI as a company. The entire TCI team is simply fantastic to work with, and I would highly recommend them!
My company has been a long time customer of TCI. They have always been so helpful and knowledgeable. We have always been able to count on them. We will remain a customer for years to come!

Common Questions
Business Communications FAQs
What's the difference between UCaaS and a contact center?
UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) is a cloud phone system for your general employee workforce — replacing your desk phones with a platform that also includes SMS, video, chat, and CRM integration. A contact center is purpose-built for customer-facing teams: agents handling inbound and outbound interactions across multiple channels (voice, email, chat, SMS, social). Many businesses use both — UCaaS for their internal workforce and a contact center platform for their customer service team. TCI can deploy both from a unified cloud environment.

Can TCI handle all three — phone systems, contact center, and paging — in one project?
Yes. TCI is a full-service technology partner with expertise across all three disciplines. We routinely design and deploy complete communications environments that include a cloud phone system for staff, a contact center for customer service teams, and paging or intercom systems for facility-wide communication — all coordinated through a single project and single point of contact.
We're still under contract with our current phone carrier. Can we still switch?
Often yes — and TCI has helped many clients navigate this. We've assisted customers with contract write-downs, interim free cloud services, and other mechanisms to help make the transition seamless. The first step is understanding your current contract terms. Read our migration guide for a full breakdown of how to handle existing carrier contracts.
What types of businesses does TCI work with?
TCI works with businesses of all sizes across Virginia and beyond — from professional services and medical practices to schools, manufacturing facilities, retail locations, and multi-site enterprises. Our paging and intercom solutions are especially common in schools, warehouses, and healthcare facilities, while UCaaS and contact center solutions serve a wide range of industries.

Does TCI provide ongoing support after installation?
Yes. TCI provides ongoing support across all of the solutions we deploy — from system administration and user changes on cloud phone systems to physical service calls on paging and intercom equipment. We're a local partner, not a national call center, which means you can reach a real person who knows your system when something needs attention.
