Phone service for Lakewood and Ocean County.

Lakewood’s 08701 ZIP held about 4,000 business establishments in the Census Bureau’s 2023 count, nearly twice as many as ten years earlier and more than a quarter of Ocean County’s. They fill the Industrial Park around the airport, Route 9 and Cedar Bridge Avenue, and the ten blocks of downtown along Clifton Avenue. We serve them from Brooklyn, about an hour and a half up the Garden State Parkway. Our business phone system (VoIP) runs on your office’s own internet, so nothing needs a visit.

Served from Borough Park, Brooklyn

Our office is at 5314 18th Avenue in Brooklyn, about 55 miles by the Verrazzano, the Outerbridge and the Parkway.

Where we work

Lakewood, and the towns that grew up around it.

Lakewood borders Jackson, Howell, Brick and Toms River, and its main roads run on into all four.

The Industrial Park

More than 2,000 acres around Lakewood Airport, with over 200 buildings and over 10,000 people at work there each day.

Downtown

Ten blocks between Route 9, Main Street, Lexington Avenue and 5th Street, with Clifton Avenue as the shopping street.

Route 9

River Avenue’s offices and shopping centers, and Monmouth Medical Center’s Southern Campus at 600 River Avenue.

Cedar Bridge Avenue

Route 528 from the Parkway through the Industrial Park, past the ballpark at 2 Stadium Way.

Brick

Route 70, Route 88 and Brick Boulevard, with doctors and dentists around Ocean University Medical Center.

County Line Road

Route 526 along the Jackson line, where Lakewood’s offices and shops run straight on into Jackson.

How the switch works

From Brooklyn, with nobody driving down the Parkway.

The switch is done from our office, and your numbers keep ringing until the minute they move.

  1. 01

    Your 732 and 848 numbers

    They port at no charge, about a week out, on a Monday to Thursday at 6 PM. The old service rings until then, and nothing is billed before you go live.

  2. 02

    Built while you wait

    Your menus, groups and schedules are built from your answers before the move, and a temporary number lets you try them first.

  3. 03

    Phones that set themselves up

    Poly phones arrive configured and plug into the Optimum or Fios line you already have. The Webex app works the same day.

Straight answers

Questions Lakewood offices ask us first.

“Do you have an office in Lakewood?”

No. Our one office is in Borough Park, Brooklyn, about an hour and a half up the Parkway. Nothing in the switch needs a visit, and the same people who set up your system answer when you call. Cabling, when an office needs it, is your electrician’s or IT company’s job.

“What does a phone system cost for a 15-person office?”

$29.95 per seat a month with every feature in every seat, so fifteen seats are $449.25 a month. New Jersey adds no sales tax and the federal telecom fees are included, so that is the whole bill for the seats. Desk phones are optional and bought once.

“Can we keep our 732 numbers?”

Yes. 732 and 848 numbers port in at no charge, landline or cell, and the move is set about a week out. Every new block of Lakewood numbers since 2020 has been an 848 block, so a brand new line will most likely start with 848.

“We have offices in Lakewood and Jackson. One system?”

Yes. One account covers every location, extensions dial each other across the county line, and the main number can ring both offices at once or fall from one to the other. It is one bill and one portal.

“Will it run on our Optimum line?”

Yes. The phones run on your own internet, and Optimum and Verizon Fios both serve Lakewood. We do not sell internet or routers, so your IT company keeps the network, and we work it out with them if a phone will not register.

“Can the phones close early on Friday and for holidays?”

Yes. Your hours, the Friday early close and the holidays sit in one schedule in the portal, and every menu, group and queue follows it. Before each holiday season we can record the greetings and swap them on for you.

“Who answers when we call you?”

A person on our team, Monday to Thursday 9 to 5 and Friday 9 to 12, at 718.395.1550 by call, text or WhatsApp, or at office@vocatech.com. Email is usually answered within the hour, and after hours our AI Agent takes the message.

“Is there a contract or a trial?”

Neither. Service is month to month with no early-termination fee, and your numbers leave with you if you ever go. Instead of a trial, a person shows you the system on your own calls and sets it up the way you want.

Near Lakewood. Howell, Jackson and Toms River share Lakewood’s roads and its area codes, and every page here is the same service.
