SkySwitch Adds Fanvil Devices White label UCaaS provider Sky- Switch announced the addition of Fanvil’s desk phone lineup in the on- line SkySwitch Store. To kick off the partnership, Fanvil is offering a special seat credit promotion available only to SkySwitch Resellers that purchase any of nine Fanvil products. The incentive program has no cap on reward points earned and will run for three months starting on June 1, 2020. According to SkySwitch, Fanvil desk phones are set apart by a design that separates call management buttons from busy lamp fields (BLFs). The inclusion of additional buttons makes this pos- sible, and the phones are designed to match the layout of many legacy phones to mitigate required upgrades upon de- ployment. Additionally, high-end Fanvil models such as the X5U and X6U are equipped with features including inte- grated Bluetooth and the ability to pair with smartphones. Available to SkySwitch’s 500 plus resellers exclusively from value-added distributor NTS Direct, Fanvil devices ordered through the SkySwitch Store will come with free ground shipping and a two-year warranty that begins when the distributor ships. Additionally, for every order containing any three of the qualify- ing Fanvil devices from the SkySwitch Store, SkySwitch will reward resellers with 2,500 reward points credited to the following month’s billing statement.
