Euphoria’s new
solution makes
it possible
to become a
digital nomad
E
uphoria Telecom has introduced tools for entrepreneurs
to become digital nomads. They can now use technology
to earn a living and conduct their life in a nomadic
manner. ‘Digital nomad’ is a revolutionary term that has
grown in popularity around the world and refers to location
independent business people who use wireless digital
technologies to perform their jobs.
Euphoria Telecom CEO, George Golding, says many
professionals in South Africa have started to follow the group
movement that is known as ‘digital nomads’, “Thanks to
cheap and wireless Internet access, smartphones, and voice
over Internet protocol (VoIP), being a digital nomad isn’t as
impossible as it might sound.”
With these technological advances, digital nomads can work
remotely wherever they live or travel and can easily keep in
contact with clients and employers.
“This means the end of the rat race grind of cubicle and
commute,” he says. “They wake up, open their computers, and
have a good full day’s work from anywhere in the world while
enjoying the benefits of first-world income and developing-
world cost of living.”
Euphoria has realised that many companies, entrepreneurs
and developers in South Africa are finding new ways of doing
business. This includes the adoption of the exponentially rising
trend of remote working. With this in mind, Euphoria offers a
proprietary cloud-based business telephone system, together
with PBX and VoIP products, that enable greater mobility for
the workforce and remote working.

This includes functions like being part of a hunt list and
access to the business IVR menu, and they can also perform
attended or blind transfers to colleagues – mobile or office-
based. The key advantage is that even once a call has been
routed to the employee’s mobile number, they still remain in
control of the call. This means the employee can still transfer
the call. “By using Euphoria’s PBX solutions, entrepreneurs
can now become digital nomads and work with impeccable
views from any of their favourite South African destinations,”
he concludes. n
These services allow individuals to work location-independent
as all calls coming into the business’s geographic number can
be directed to a digital receptionist or a hunt list.
When the PBX needs to connect to an employee, it contacts
them directly on their mobile device by sending the call over
the mobile network (GSM) instead of an Internet connection.
“Essentially, all employees’ direct extensions become their
mobile numbers, and these calls are routed directly to their
mobile phones. The digital nomad will then still be able to
manage the call as if working from an office PBX,” he explains.
