Corinne by Reverie Tech

Business phone,
built properly.

A complete phone system for small and mid‑sized businesses — desk phones, auto‑attendants, voicemail that arrives as text, and business texting from your main number. Calls are encrypted by default. 911 reaches your real street address. And it is run by the team you already call when something breaks.

A small-business office: a woman taking a call on a desk phone at reception while colleagues work at shared desks behind her.
Corinne runs the phones for businesses like this one — encrypted, with 911 pointed at the right building.

Why we built it

We needed a phone system we could stand behind

Reverie Tech has supported other people’s phone systems for years. The recurring problems were always the same three: encryption was an optional extra, 911 sent responders to the wrong building, and nobody could tell you what actually happened on a call. Corinne exists because those three are not features. They are the job.

Encrypted, not “encryption‑ready”

Every call leg is TLS‑signaled and SRTP‑encrypted, including inside your own office. Unencrypted SIP is not a configuration we support — there is no cheaper tier where your calls travel in the clear.

911 that knows where you are

Emergency calls are matched before every other rule, carry a callback number the dispatcher can call back, and present a number your carrier maps to your registered street address.

Voicemail transcribed on our hardware

Messages are transcribed by speech recognition running on our own equipment, reachable only from inside it. Your customers’ voices are not shipped to a third‑party transcription service.

The people who built it answer

Corinne is not resold. Reverie Tech builds it, runs it, and supports it, so a problem with your phones is not a ticket handed to a vendor you have never spoken to.

The console

You can see and change all of it

Not a ticket to us every time somebody joins. This is the real Corinne console — extensions, the emergency address each one presents, which ones are recorded, and how many devices are registered.

The Corinne admin console showing eight extensions for a company, each with its emergency address, outbound caller ID, voicemail state and recording policy.

Extensions for one company. Every change here is written to an audit log with who made it and what it was before.

Emergency calling

911 is the part most systems get quietly wrong

Kari’s Law and the RAY BAUM’S Act are not guidance. They require that anyone can dial 911 directly, that someone on site is told it happened, and that dispatch receives a location specific enough to find you. Plenty of systems tick those boxes on a datasheet and fail on the wire.

  • Matched first, always. 911 is evaluated before every other rule — before account suspension, before an extension that happens to be numbered 911, and before the abuse protections that guard the edge of the network.
  • Your street address, not a data center. The call presents a number your carrier maps to your registered address, so the dispatcher sees where to send help.
  • A bad address never blocks the call. If we cannot resolve a location, the call still goes through and we raise an alert. A 911 call with an imperfect address beats no 911 call.
  • A permanent, frozen record. Every emergency call is written once and cannot be edited afterwards, including the exact address transmitted at the time.

How emergency calling works

Before all
911 matches ahead of every other routing rule
Never cached
An emergency address is looked up fresh, never served stale
Write‑once
Emergency records cannot be rewritten after the fact
Still routes

Voicemail

Read your voicemail. Don’t sit through it.

A message arrives in the portal as text alongside the audio, so you can skim a voicemail in four seconds instead of playing ninety of them back in order.

The transcription runs on Reverie’s own hardware, reachable only from inside our platform. That matters more than it sounds: hosted voicemail transcription usually means uploading a recording of your customer’s voice to a third party. Corinne does not do that.

It will not make things up. Speech recognition is confident even when it is wrong — hand most models thirty seconds of hold music and they will return a plausible sentence. Ours checks whether anyone actually spoke before it writes anything down, so silence comes back as silence rather than as invented evidence on a customer’s record.

Moving over

Already have a phone system?

So did we. Corinne was built while Reverie Tech was moving its own clients off the system they were on, which means the awkward parts — re‑using the desk phones you already own, porting numbers without a dead afternoon, rebuilding the menus somebody configured four years ago — are the parts we have thought about hardest.

  • Keep your desk phones where they support encrypted SIP. We re‑provision them in place rather than shipping you a box of new hardware.
  • Keep your numbers. We port them, and we run both systems side by side until the port completes.
  • No license tier to guess at. You are not buying a simultaneous‑call bracket a year ahead and hoping you picked right.

How a move actually goes

We inventory what you have

Extensions, numbers, desk phone models, call flows, and your busiest hour — so nothing is discovered halfway through.

We build it alongside

Your new system is configured and tested while the old one keeps running. Nothing is switched off to find out whether this works.

We move numbers on a date you choose

Ports are scheduled, not gambled. Calls land on the new system when the port completes, not when a maintenance window expires.

Where Corinne is today

An honest status report

Corinne is live, carrying real calls over a real carrier, and Reverie Tech is onboarding its first customers now. We would rather tell you what is finished and what is not than discover the gap together after you have signed.

Working today
  • Calls to and from the public phone network, in both directions, encrypted
  • Desk phones that configure themselves from their MAC address
  • Voicemail, stored encrypted and transcribed
  • Emergency calling with dispatchable location and a permanent record
  • Business texting with carrier registration and opt‑out handling
  • Customer portal and per‑role access, with every change audited
On the way
  • Calling from your browser. Built and tested, but no customer has used it yet, so we do not count it as shipped.
  • A mobile app. Not built. Today, mobile means a standard SIP app or your desk phone forwarding to your cell.
  • Desk phones beyond Grandstream. Grandstream is proven on real hardware. Yealink is built to the vendor’s documentation but not yet field‑tested; ask us before assuming a model works.
  • Integrations with your other software. The groundwork is there; no public interface yet.

Why we publish this

Let’s talk about your phones

Tell us how many people you have, what handsets are on their desks, and what annoys you about the system you are on now. We will tell you plainly whether Corinne is a good fit.
