		inetwork is the voice network built for the next century. We built our 100% IP voice network from scratch, with no legacy analog baggage or any of the complexity and cost that goes with it. With inetwork, the voice network is finally just another part of the internet. Gone are the days of Monolithic Telecom demanding submission and sacrifice. We’ve flipped the Telecom equation — from their network to your network. From their voice to your voice. We put you at the center. In fact, you’re the “i” in inetwork. Now the network serves you, not vice versa. So if you’re an online business, it now just takes a bit of code to find your voice and add it to your website or app. inetwork makes it easy to find your voice, no PhD in Telecom required. And if you’re an existing telecom provider looking for a voice, SMS, and/or 911 network partner who has heard your voice crying out for reliability, affordability and simplicity, and who does it the way you want it, (not the way they have always done it), then you have come to the right place. Welcome to the land where your voice reigns.
