Why teams move

Three things you get from Ringhouse
and can’t get from Euphoria.

EuphoriaFixed-line porting only
Ringhouse

Keep your 082 number

Most small businesses here run on a cell number. Euphoria ports fixed lines. We put the SIM your customers already call in a Ringhouse gateway, and it rings all three of you on the phones you have.

Texts from your line

Euphoria is a phone system for calls. On Ringhouse, calls and texts sit in one thread per customer, so the text that confirmed the order and the call that changed it are one conversation.

AI that answers the phone

When nobody picks up, Euphoria sends the voicemail to your inbox. Ringhouse’s receptionist answers the call, books the appointment, and texts you the summary before the caller has hung up.

Questions about switching from Euphoria

Is Ringhouse cheaper than Euphoria?

Per seat, Euphoria's Express licence is less. Add its R1,500 setup, R65 per extension and the add-ons, and a four-person team on Ringhouse Business is R500 a month with everything in, including the AI receptionist.

Can I keep my SIM number?

Yes. Send us the SIM and it goes in a Ringhouse gateway, where its calls and texts ring your whole team. Euphoria ports fixed-line numbers only.

Can I keep my Euphoria number?

Talk to us first. We'll check whether it can move before you change anything.

Is there a Windows app?

Yes. Ringhouse runs on Mac and Windows, in any browser, and on iPhone and Android.

Do you have South African numbers?

Yes, next to US and UK numbers, and all of them land in the same inbox.

Can I bring my own SIP trunk?

Yes, without an Enterprise contract. Talk to us and we'll check your trunk with you.

What does the AI receptionist do?

When nobody on the team picks up, it answers, asks what the caller needs, and sends you the summary.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Every plan starts with 7 days free.
