<strong>Telephony is the last major recurring revenue opportunity for Quebec MSPs.<\/strong> Your SMB clients need a reliable VoIP solution \u2014 and you already have their trust. Here&#8217;s how to turn telephony into a profitable managed service, without becoming a telecom carrier.\n  <\/div>\n<h2>Why MSPs Must Add VoIP to Their Service Stack<\/h2>\n<p>In 2026, an MSP that doesn&#8217;t offer VoIP is leaving an average of 15-25% in additional recurring revenue on the table. Worse: if you don&#8217;t offer this service, your client will go elsewhere for their telephony \u2014 and that someone else will try to sell them IT services too.<\/p>\n<p>VoIP has become the natural complement to managed services: same IP network infrastructure, same type of support, same trust relationship. The synergy is obvious.<\/p>\n<h2>The 3 Models for Offering VoIP as an MSP<\/h2>\n<table class=\"sst-compare-table\">\n<tr>\n<th>Model<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<th>Pros<\/th>\n<th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Agent\/Referral<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Refer clients to a partner provider and receive commission<\/td>\n<td class=\"yes\">Zero risk, no investment, passive income<\/td>\n<td>Lower margins, less control<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>White-Label Resale<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Buy wholesale and resell under your brand<\/td>\n<td class=\"yes\">Higher margins, stronger client relationship<\/td>\n<td>Support responsibility, upfront investment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Technical Partnership<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>You handle install\/support, Simplisystel handles telephony and billing<\/td>\n<td class=\"yes\">Best of both worlds, shared expertise<\/td>\n<td>Coordination with partner required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>How to Launch Your VoIP Offering in 5 Steps<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Choose your PBX platform and partner<\/strong> \u2014 Yeastar and 3CX both have structured partner programs with certifications, volume discounts, and dedicated technical support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get certified<\/strong> \u2014 Yeastar offers free online certification. 3CX has a 1-2 day technical certification.
