As a leading direct selling company in the global energy market, Stream Energy (now Stream) has expanded to provide its customers with essential services that include energy, wireless mobile, protective and home service. The Dallas-based company aims to have its services work seamlessly together to fit customers’ lifestyles and to always keep them connected, no matter where they are. Even though the company’s energy services is its main focus, its home services have also contributed to Stream Energy’s $8 billion in lifetime revenue.
In April 2016, Stream Energy announced the official launch of Stream Digital Voice. This new service formed as part of its home services line. Stream Digital Voice combines the convenience of a mobile phone with the reliability of a landline, making it smarter and work harder for you. Therefore, this Stream Energy service is perfect for home and home businesses. All customers need to do is plug the Digital Voice HUB in-between their landline and modem to experience all the benefits of high-quality Internet calls.
“At Stream, we listen carefully to the wants and needs of our customers, as they are our number-one priority. We feel strongly that our new Home Services line, which includes Stream Digital Voice, will help our customers stay connected to their homes, wherever they are,” said Larry Mondry, President and CEO of Stream Energy. “Our newest service offering is a continuation of our company’s progression toward becoming a full-service provider of essential services.”
For home-based businesses, this service allows owners to add an additional line and has features such as three-way conference calls, voicemail-to-email forwarding and voice-to-text conversion. Additionally, Stream Digital Voice has an app which allows mobile phones to ring simultaneously when the landline rings. For business owners, this means they’ll never miss a call. The app also allows customers to make free app-to-app calls, have easy access to their voicemail, manage account preferences and make low-cost international calls.
