Born from a 2004 MSP
Velocity Technologies has spent two decades designing, securing, and supporting business technology for organizations that cannot afford downtime. Velocity Phone Systems carries that same engineering mindset into voice.
About our company
The voice practice built on two decades of IT discipline
Velocity Phone Systems is the dedicated business-phone practice of Velocity Technologies, the Tempe, Arizona managed-IT firm founded in 2004 by Jeremy Whittaker. We help companies across the country replace, modernize, or stabilize their phone systems without the guesswork, the runaround, or a one-size-fits-all sales pitch.
We are deployment-agnostic by design. Whether the right answer is hosted VoIP, an on-premise PBX, or a hybrid of both, we tell you the truth, plan the cutover carefully, and stay accountable from the first discovery call through go-live and the support that follows.
Who we are
A focused voice team backed by an established managed-IT firm.
Founded by Jeremy Whittaker
Jeremy Whittaker built the parent company on a simple principle: solve the actual problem, then own the outcome. That principle shapes every phone deployment we run.
National in reach, hands-on in delivery
We serve businesses across the United States. Because modern phone systems are software plus carrier services, we can plan, port, and support your deployment wherever your offices and remote staff are.
Voice is our whole job
This is not a side product bolted onto a help desk. Phone systems, SIP trunking, business texting, AI call handling, and handsets are what we work on every day.
How we are different
Most vendors sell the platform they happen to resell. We start with what your business actually needs.
We never say cloud is always better
Hosted VoIP is the right call for many companies, but not all of them. We weigh your call volume, internet reliability, compliance needs, existing hardware, and budget before recommending a direction.
Honest, deployment-agnostic advice
We are not locked into one platform we have to push, which frees us to recommend the model that fits your business instead of the one that is easiest to sell.
A real implementation partner
Plenty of providers sell a license and disappear. We handle discovery, design, number porting, cutover planning, E911 setup, and user training as part of the engagement, not as billable surprises.
One accountable team
When something needs attention, you reach the people who designed and deployed your system, not a tier-one queue reading a script. One owner, one point of accountability.
Plain English, no jargon games
We translate SIP trunks, IVRs, ring groups, and A2P 10DLC registration into decisions a business owner can actually make. You should understand what you are buying and why.
How engagements work
We reuse the parent company's operating model: discovery, stabilization, and one accountable owner.
Discovery first
We learn how your business actually uses the phone: who answers, how calls route, what happens after hours, which numbers must survive, and what is breaking today. No recommendation comes before we understand the current reality.
A deployment recommendation, in writing
You get a clear plan naming the deployment model, the hardware, the carrier services, and the trade-offs. If two paths are reasonable, we say so and explain which one we would choose and why.
Cutover planning, not cutover hoping
We sequence number porting, test routing and emergency calling, stage handsets, and pick a switchover window that limits disruption. The goal is a quiet go-live, not a fire drill.
Stabilization after go-live
The first weeks matter most. We tune call flows, fix the small things real usage exposes, and confirm everyone from the front desk to remote staff is comfortable before we call it done.
One owner for the long run
After launch you still have a single accountable team for changes, additions, training, and support, so the system keeps fitting your business as it grows.
What we handle
End to end, so coordinating carriers and hardware never falls back on you.
Deployment choice
Hosted VoIP, on-premise PBX, or hybrid, plus SIP trunking to modernize a system you are not ready to replace. We design for the model that fits, not the one that is easiest to sell.
Number porting and E911
We manage porting your existing business numbers and configure E911 emergency calling correctly, so nobody loses a number and dialing for help works from day one.
Call routing and AI handling
Auto attendants, IVRs, call queues, ring groups, voicemail-to-email, and AI call handling that catches calls you would otherwise miss, especially after hours.
Business texting and 10DLC
We set up business texting and walk you through A2P 10DLC registration, the carrier requirement that trips up companies trying to text from their business numbers.
Phones and software clients
Desk phones and handsets from Grandstream, Yealink, Poly, and Cisco, plus softphones, mobile apps, and Microsoft Teams Phone integration for staff who work anywhere.
Vendor coordination and training
We coordinate carriers and hardware vendors so you do not have to referee, and we train your team on the features they will actually use.

Questions buyers ask before choosing a phone system.
Is Velocity Phone Systems a separate company from Velocity Technologies?
We are the dedicated business-phone practice of Velocity Technologies, the Tempe, Arizona managed-IT firm founded in 2004 by Jeremy Whittaker. Same operating standards and accountability, focused entirely on voice. The footer line says it plainly: a Velocity Technologies company.
Do you only work with businesses in Arizona?
No. Our roots are in Tempe, Arizona, but we serve businesses nationwide. Modern phone systems run on software and carrier services, so we can plan, port numbers, deploy, and support your system wherever your locations and remote staff are.
Will you push me toward cloud VoIP?
Only if it is genuinely the best fit. We are deployment-agnostic and will recommend hosted VoIP, an on-premise PBX, or a hybrid based on your call patterns, internet reliability, compliance needs, and budget. We will never tell you cloud is always better.
Do you actually handle the implementation, or just sell the system?
We handle the implementation. That includes discovery, system design, number porting, cutover planning, E911 setup, A2P 10DLC texting registration, vendor coordination, and user training, all as part of the engagement with one accountable team.
Can you upgrade our existing phone system instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If your current PBX still serves you well, SIP trunking can modernize it and cut carrier costs without a full rip-and-replace. We will tell you honestly when an upgrade makes more sense than a replacement.
Who do we call when something needs to change after go-live?
The same accountable team that designed and deployed your system. You will not be handed off to a faceless support queue. We stay on for changes, additions, training, and support as your business evolves.
