Locations · Five Towns, NY
Phone service for the Five Towns, on Long Island.
Central Avenue is the Five Towns’ main street, running from Far Rockaway through Lawrence and into Cedarhurst’s business district. Health care is the largest line of business across the five ZIPs, professional offices lead in Woodmere, and more than eight in ten businesses have fewer than ten people. We serve the Five Towns from Brooklyn, about 17 miles by the Nassau Expressway and Rockaway Turnpike. Our business phone system (VoIP) runs on your office’s own internet, so nothing needs a visit.
Our office is at 5314 18th Avenue in Brooklyn, about 35 minutes by Linden Boulevard, the Nassau Expressway and Rockaway Turnpike.

Questions Five Towns offices ask us first.
“Is there a Vocatech office on Long Island?”
No. Our one office is in Borough Park, Brooklyn, about 17 miles from Lawrence. Nothing in the switch needs a visit, and the people who set up your system answer when you call.
“What does an office of seven pay?”
$209.65 a month for seven seats at $29.95 per seat, every feature included. Federal telecom fees are inside the price, and New York sales tax at the Nassau County rate is the only line added. Phones are optional and bought once.
“Our numbers are 516. Can we keep them?”
Yes, at no charge, landline or cell. The 363 overlay has served Nassau since January 2023, so a brand new line may start with 363, dialed with ten digits like every local call.
“We have offices in Cedarhurst and Far Rockaway. One system?”
Yes. One account covers Nassau and Queens alike, extensions dial each other, and the main number can ring both offices. The Far Rockaway numbers stay 718 and the Cedarhurst numbers stay 516.
“Will it run on our internet?”
Yes. The phones run on your office’s own connection, whichever company brings it. We do not sell internet or routers, so your IT company keeps the network, and we work with them if a phone will not register.
“Can the phones close early on Friday and for holidays?”
Yes. Set the Friday early close and the holidays in one schedule, and the menus and groups follow it on their own. Before a holiday season we can record your greetings and put them on.
“Who do we talk to when we call?”
A person on our team at 718.395.1550, by call, text or WhatsApp, or at office@vocatech.com, Monday to Thursday 9 to 5 and Friday 9 to 12. Email is answered by a person, usually within the hour.
“Is there a contract or a trial?”
Neither one. Service is month to month, with no early-termination fee, and your numbers go with you if you ever leave. A person shows you the system on your own calls in a 30-minute Webex meeting.
Near the Five Towns. Queens is over the city line on Central Avenue, and Brooklyn is half an hour west, on the same service.
