Introducing Mtgs – Free Video Meetings for Desktop and Mobile

One of the things I’ve learned while stuck inside during this difficult time is how much I miss seeing our teammates, partners, and family. I’ve grown to live and work by video calling, and the experience is universally poor- whether it’s connection issues, quality issues, or just ease of use. The issue of security and privacy has become something I’m very concerned about.

At smpl, we take to heart the value of these tools and the experiences of using them to see each other. To make this experience better for all, customers and non-customers, we built smpl Mtgs and today releasing it free to ALL. Built on the foundation of privacy and security, smpl Mtgs is a fully encrypted and virtual meeting solution without any logins or downloads required. Meet with one or twenty in stunning HD Video. You can also share a screen or watch a YouTube video together.

Learn more at smpl.co/meetings.

Using smpl Mtgs is easy, just visit https://mtgs.smpl.co to create a room, share with anyone you want to meet, and add a pin to lock the room. The first visitor is the moderator, and when the last visitor leaves the room everything is deleted. No scheduling or download required, and we have Apps in the Apple App Store for iPhone/iPad and Google Play Store for Android. View tutorials in the Help Center for additional features, and we’ve posted a video tutorial below too.

In bringing this tool to the world we hope to help people meet better, faster, more secure, and as simple as possible. That’s been our direction since we began, and we’re not going to stop here. We’re making meetings free to use, and will offer a “pro” version in the months to come with additional features, customizations, branding, and much more.

Share with everyone, meet with anyone, and enjoy connecting the smpl way.

New Two Factor Authentication Available to All Customers

We take security and privacy seriously, as anyone you trust your data and communications with. This week we made a big change with Two Factor Authentification now enabled for all customers.

First, what is Two Factor Authentification you may ask? Similar to your bank and other services, you may notice that they require an extra step separate from you and them to login. Most often, that extra step is a text your mobile phone with a code required to access your account. This step protects you because it adds a second factor to be approved for access.

This security enhancement keeps you safer from someone accessing your account without your knowledge. If you get Two Factor notifications without requesting, this is an indication someone is trying to access your account. To protect our customers, and keep our security in line with modern standards, we’ve brought this security feature to all of our customers.

Enrolling in Two Factor Authentication is easy and free. The next time you log in, you’ll be asked to enroll a personal number (like a mobile phone) to receive a call or text when you access your account. We’ll then send you a one-time code via call or message, and you’ll enter on our portal when prompted. You can also choose not to be prompted for 30 days too.

As always, if you have any questions or need help, contact our support anytime.

We have a new name and website… and new plans too!

Welcome to SimpleVoice

Our goal with refreshing our voice solutions as SimpleVoice is rooted in the reality that we are “talking into more things” than ever before. We want to support you with whatever that device, whether it’s a phone on your desk or a watch on a wrist. SimpleVoice Platform supports calling and features on all your devices, and lets you integrate and manage them in one simple place.

Since our inception, we’ve always loved and cherished our wonderful “Simple Phone Company” name… but as we’ve grown have also wanted to better define what “this” vs “that” service that we provided. The best phone service and features we’ve always offered is now just SimpleVoice. With our new name you’ll get all the same great features, support, and pricing but with a new and refreshed site powered our enhanced Concierge Team.

New Website and Pricing

Did you notice our fresh coat of paint? We built a brand new website from the ground up to make SimpleVoice fresher and more simple than ever. Read all about the great new features, and our new pricing plans.

As all businesses are not the same size, we’ve grouped our most common features into 3 tiers. With, we are excited to announce an all-new tier starting at just $16 a month. Even better, existing customers will be automatically grandfathered with their current plans in our “Advanced” tier at no additional cost.

Let Us Know What You Think

Hello February – New SDN, Apps, and Billing Features

Introducing Managed Network 2.0

Since its launch a year ago, our Managed Network solution has always been about taking the “I.T.” out of managing a secure network with our customers. Many other providers have offered similar services, frequently called “SD-WAN”. In that time; however, we believe SD-WAN has become as complicated as the mission it set out to fix. We’ve reimagined the entire experience, with a keen focus on keeping it simple and powerful.

Introducing Simple SDN, our Managed Network experience redesigned for your entire network – with cloud management, WiFi, enterprise security, and more! Get Simple SDN and our Network SLA for a new, lower monthly price and complete support for your entire network.

With Simple SDN, your network and WiFi simply work out of the box.

Reminders On New Billing System

Last month we launched our all-new Bill Center with detailed invoices. With the goal to simplify phone billing and billable usage in mind, this has become a big change from how we’ve billed in the past. Customer feedback has been great, and we’ve been tweaking things since launch to improve the experience. In its first month, we’ve noted a few customer’s most frequently asked questions and thought it be worth mentioning again here:

Pay with ACH (aka E-Check)
You can now pay with your checking account.

New Payment Address
9450 SW Gemini Dr. #8835, Beaverton, OR 97008 USA

New Bill Center
You can register for our billing web portal here.
(If you need your account number, please let us know.)

Proration
Customers who previously had multiple due dates, now have one. Depending on which order, one or more of your services was prorated in January.

If you have any questions or trouble, please let us know.

Hello January – New Billing, New Features, Updates for the New Year

Hello, Happy New Year, and welcome to 2018! We’re kicking off the new year with lots of new features, new solutions, and new ways of managing your account. To start things off, our season newsletter is now our new “Monthly Hello” that we’re kicking off each month to share what is new in the written and visual format. We want to make getting caught up to speed with what’s new at Simple Phone Co. is easier than ever. To read our first update of the year, check out what’s below!

Introducing Call Center Features

We know that sometimes you need to stack inbound calls because customers love to call at once. With that in mind, we’ve added a new Voice Platform App call Call Center Basic. It’s an easy way to setup smart and manageable inbound call ringing for your agents with simple analytics that queues your calls in the most intuitive way. Call Center features are not for everyone, so we’re making these new features available as a simple Add-on. Want to learn more or see a demo?

> View our new Features page or contact us.

Introducing Operator Features

Customers have told us how they wish they could have a visual portal to see who’s on the phone, with whom, using which device, or simply “who’s parked?”. We’re excited to share our new Operator feature that does just that. With the all-new Voice Platform Operator App, you or your receptionist will gain real-time access to all your devices in simple web-portal. It’s computer and tablet friendly, and a great way to monitoring your calls and team.

> Contact us for a free demo.

Introducing our New Billing, Invoices, and ACH

With 2018 here, one thing we’re all excited to leave in the past, is our old billing system. That’s right – we’re starting the year anew by launching our new Account and Billing features including ACH Check Payments, new online portal, detailed usage billing, agent portals, and more. We’re excited to offer quicker and far better support for the parts that keep the lights on, and give you easier access to information and ways to manage your billing. Also in the next few months you’ll start to see more useful details like numbers, lines, devices, and more – for even better billing transparency.

The best part is that you do not have to do a thing, as we’ve been hard a work for months preparing for a seamless transition. Starting this week, customers will start to see our new bill format. Customers who had an outstanding payment will simply see a “previous balance” note on current invoices. Not to worry, if you need any previous billing details just let us know.

Customers that had multiple products billing dates, like an add-on service, will now see a single consolidated bill date. To keep it simple, we’ll be prorating these services in January and February.

If you have any questions or trouble, please feel free to contact us anytime.
