Founded in 2005, this Toronto based provider offers users full featured enterprise-grade phone system solutions/services. As such, the service works as a full featured Enterprise PBX ( call forwarding, caller ID, 3-way calling, voicemail to email, etc.), and also includes a digital receptionist (IVR), company number, an easy-to-use control panel, unlimited members and departments, toll-free/local numbers, personalized greetings, and even a pay-as-you-go option. In including a variety of features, Slingshot boasts a variety of included benefits such as providing users with a local business presence in other city centers, worry-free organic technology, affordable UC services, flexibility, growth options, marketing, and more. Slingshot offers users a variety of plan options, which vary in pricing and included features.
