Overview
Spoke Phone is a mobile-first cloud business phone system, originally developed in New Zealand and now marketed under the Spoke name at getspoke.com. It brings business calling, SMS and messaging to staff mobile phones, positions itself as a replacement for on-premise PBX systems and desk phones, and today focuses on keeping calls and messages logged and compliant for regulated industries such as finance, insurance and healthcare.
Businesses review their phone provider for plenty of ordinary reasons: a contract or licence term coming up for renewal, an office move, a growing team, or wanting internet, phones and mobile from one Australian carrier with one bill and one point of contact. Some also want desk handsets, reception features or Microsoft Teams Calling alongside the mobile app.
Summit Internet offers a Hosted PBX cloud phone system with mobile and desktop apps, SIP trunks for businesses keeping their own phone system, and Microsoft Teams Calling via Direct Routing. We are a business-only provider and have been since August 2000.
Summit Internet is an independent carrier and is not affiliated with Spoke Phone.
How Summit Helps
-
A cloud phone system with every feature included
Summit's Hosted PBX starts from $10 per user per month with every feature included: auto attendant and IVR, ring groups, call queues, voicemail to email and call recording. There are no feature tiers to work through.
-
Mobile and desktop apps, plus desk phones if you want them
Staff can make and take business calls from the mobile and desktop apps, so a mobile-first way of working carries over. If some of your team prefer a handset on the desk, we can preconfigure and ship handsets ready to plug in.
-
Call recording built in
Call recording is part of the standard Hosted PBX feature set, alongside voicemail to email and call queues. Tell us how your team uses recordings today and we will configure the system to suit.
-
Microsoft Teams Calling
If your staff already live in Microsoft Teams, Teams Calling via Direct Routing lets them make and receive business calls from Teams. Summit provides the calling service; your Microsoft licences stay with your existing Microsoft arrangement.
-
SIP trunks for your own phone system
If you run your own phone system, Summit SIP trunks start from 2 channels and scale up or down as your call volume changes.
-
1300 and 1800 numbers
Add 1300 and 1800 inbound numbers, on-hold messaging and fax to email, all managed through the same account as your phone system.
-
Internet and phones from one carrier
Pair your phones with Business nbn with a static IP included, or Ethernet over fibre. When the connection is also Summit's, voice traffic is prioritised, and internet, phones and mobile arrive on one bill.
-
Business mobile plans
For teams that work from their mobiles, Summit offers business mobile SIM plans alongside your phone system and internet.

Keep your Spoke Phone service active until the port completes, because only active numbers can be ported. The ACMA says single local numbers generally port in 8 to 15 days, and multi-number ports can take up to 30 days.

We recently moved our dental practice over to Summit for phone services, and the experience has been excellent from start to finish. The team has been responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire setup process. The transition was smooth, any issues were addressed promptly, and communication was always clear and efficient. Reliable phones and internet are essential for a busy practice like ours, and Summit has delivered exactly that. A special thank you to Michael for his patience and ongoing assistance during the transition. Highly recommend Summit to any business looking for reliable service and great customer support.Read more

As a reseller, we primarily work with Summit’s 4G services and have been very impressed. The plans are affordable, flexible, and well suited to our customers—especially for internet failover solutions. The sales and support teams are responsive and genuinely helpful, which is why we’re proud to partner with Summit Internet. We happily recommend them.Read more

After working with another ISP for several months to deliver a critical internet service for a major international sporting event, we were ultimately advised that the required upgrade was unlikely to be completed prior to event week. This left us facing a significant risk to service delivery. After exhausting all other options (and a few sleepless nights) we came across Summit Internet. From the initial conversation, Allan immediately understood the severity of the situation and quickly engaged his technical delivery team. Michael “Radar” was on site within days to assess and finalise a solution. Despite challenging conditions, including large trees and other obstructions, he worked tirelessly to design and implement an alternative approach. Leveraging an adjacent building, a temporary NBN connection, and a wireless link into the comms room, the solution was delivered within 24 hours of the initial site visit. Not only was the outcome faster than expected, but it was also more cost effective and delivered higher speeds than originally promised by the previous ISP. Over the course of the event, the service handled terabytes of data and supported hundreds of concurrent users without a single speed or performance issue. I cannot thank Summit Internet, particularly Allan and Radar enough for their exceptional service, technical expertise, and commitment to delivering under pressure. Highly recommended.Read more

Summit internet recently set my small business up with a local land line number and a soft phone that runs off an app on my mobile - getting my personal phone number off the internet and being able to distinguish between business and personal calls is a game changer. Whole process took less than a week, and is super cost effective. Highly recommend.Read more
