Q2 2021 Quarterly Newsletter From June 29, 2021 We can’t believe another quarter has gone by and that we’re halfway through 2021 already! As always, we’ve been busy and are excited to share these updates with you. Key Highlights From Q2 In April we were in planning mode as we geared up for the quarter ahead. As part of that process, we held a Product Focus Group in which we shared some new ideas and a few things we were already working on. As always, we received great feedback, had productive discussions, and gained valuable insight into what our customers would like to see in the future. If you’re not on our Product Feedback List, make sure you sign up so you don’t miss the next Focus Group! With businesses starting to return to the office in May and many adopting a hybrid work model, we launched a 3-part blog series about hybrid work to help make the transition easier. We wrote about best practices for investing in tech, hybrid meetings, and managing a hybrid workforce. Check them out, they are all linked below! We also released some exciting updates to our Call Center solution, making it even more user friendly and intuitive. In June, our very own head of marketing Alisa Bartash presented at the Cloud Communication Alliance’s June virtual meeting. Alisa spoke on the topic of business agility, and covered how adopting an agile business model has a plethora of benefits, including faster time to market, higher customer satisfaction, productivity improvements, and an enhanced employee experience — not to mention the benefits to your bottom line.

Hello all, Some 2600Hz partners are having difficulty operating T4xU Yealink phones that came pre-loaded with v85 firmware. Only v84 firmware has been tested and approved for use on KAZOO and there seems to be a problem downgrading from v85 to v84. We have identified a workaround for this. You can download and manually install this firmware: http://firmwares.2600hz.com/yealink/t4x/T48U-T46U-T43U-T42U-108.85.0.27.rom We are working on making this the default going forward without messing with existing phones that are happily running v84. This will take about 2 weeks. Once completed we will fully support the T4XU line again.

Q4 2020 Quarterly Newsletter From December 15, 2020 We wish you, your loved ones, and your colleagues a happy holiday season. We are very thankful for each and every one of you and hope you are staying healthy and safe. Here’s to 2021! Key Highlights From Q4 Back in October, we released a new app for anyone tired of screening potential spam, anonymous numbers, and other bothersome calls. In just a few clicks, the new Blacklists app will block unwanted calls before they ever ring your device. The app helps you manage unwanted calls and makes it easy to ensure only important calls are coming through. All you have to do is create a list and add the numbers you want to block. Then, you never need to worry about those numbers again! See just how easy it is here. In November we hosted another successful Product Focus Group. After getting an incredible amount of helpful feedback during our first ever focus group in October, we wanted to see if a second round would live up to the first, and boy did it ever! A huge thank you to everyone who participated and shared their thoughts. Because they are so helpful and engaging, we’ll be hosting monthly Product Focus Groups starting in January. We hope you’ll join us! Sign up for our Product Feedback Group here so you don’t miss the invite. We sponsored the Cavell Group’s Cloud Comms Summit European Series in December, which took us on a virtual trip to France, Germany, Benelux, and Spain. Each event explored key market insights, best practices, challenges and solutions in those areas. We’re always excited to be part of Cavell Group’s events, meet and mingle with industry colleagues (even if virtually), and learn from Cavell’s group of experts. We look forward to attending more of their events in 2021! In Case You Missed It It wouldn’t be a 2600Hz newsletter without some media and press updates. Here’s some news and a few marketing highlights from Q4: Our COO & Co-Founder Patrick Sullivan chatted about all things UC with UC Today publisher Rob Scott in this video interview.
