Do I need an Emergency Phone Line Installation?
Cellular service for elevators is a reliable and secure way to provide communication to and from your elevator car. Cellular service typically provides a more reliable connection than landline or VoIP service, as it is not affected by power outages or other issues that can disrupt VoIP connections or traditional copper telephone service.
Furthermore, our cellular service is much more secure than traditional landlines. With cellular service provided using the Destra Business Services Mobile Connect 2, all calls are encrypted, meaning third parties cannot intercept them. Additionally, cellular service is much more difficult to tamper with than outdated copper landlines, making it an ideal choice for buildings that need a secure communication method for their elevators.
A traditional POTS line can cost up to three times what the Mobile Connect 2 costs. Our elevator phone line service clients realize savings on their first bill. Starting at only $39 per month, we ask, why pay more for a phone line that rarely gets used but is mandatory in an emergency?
Many HOAs, senior living facilities, and other building owners often have a property management or maintenance company take care of the elevator phone bill, thereby allowing the cost of that elevator phone service to get lost in the shuffle. If you’re paying $85 per month for an emergency elevator phone line that is used on average for less than 5 minutes a month, it is time to cut the cord and see what Destra Business Services can offer with the Mobile Connect 2!
Destra Business Services offers quick and thorough installation of our Mobile Connect 2 cellular service for elevators. No more worries about your emergency phone service in your elevator or area of refuge during emergencies or those random inspections.
Even if you already have an emergency elevator phone line, it only has to go down during an emergency before you realize how important your elevator phone connection is to your business.
