Support Makes a Difference

When something goes wrong with your phone system, the last thing you want is to feel like just another number. Some phone systems are supported directly by the manufacturer or through generic help desk channels, which can sometimes mean slower resolution times or less personalized assistance—especially when the issue involves multiple vendors or configurations.

That's where ET&T stands apart. With Mitel and Wildix, you're not relying on a distant provider—you're backed by a local team that knows your system inside and out. From installation to everyday support, our technicians are right here in the Lehigh Valley, offering fast response times, proactive service, and the kind of hands-on help that only a true partner can provide.

Other phone systems, such as Five9, RingCentral, 8x8, and 3CX, don't allow MSPs to service their products forcing you to go through overseas vendors. With ET&T, you won't have to worry about overseas call centers or third party support agents. We only work with systems that we support directly!

Supporting your business communication should never feel like a waiting game. With ET&T, you're getting enterprise-quality solutions backed by a responsive, women- and family-owned company that's committed to your success.

Making the Right Choice for Your Business

No two businesses communicate the same way—and that's why it's important to choose a phone system that aligns with how you operate, not just what's trending. Mitel's MiVoice Business is an excellent fit for organizations that need complete control over their infrastructure. If you rely on hybrid deployments, or require local survivability and built-in redundancy, Mitel gives you the tools to build a highly customized communication environment.

Wildix, along with its cloud-native X-Bees platform, is perfect for businesses that prioritize speed, simplicity, and real-time collaboration. It's mobile first, packed with AI-powered features, and integrates easily with CRM platforms—making it ideal for sales teams, distributed workforces, and growing companies that need to scale without overcomplicating IT.

At ET&T, we don't push products—we help you find the system that makes the most sense for your workflows, your users, and your goals. Whether you need robust call control and on-prem reliability, or a flexible UCaaS system that works right out of the box, we're here to make the decision easier.
