Storacall

Storacall, in case you are not aware, is a company that has been in business for some time now. Those many years of experience have stood them in good stead and allowed them to improve and enhance their offerings over the years to increase the protection for public telephones. They have a sterling reputation because their products do a lot of the selling for them in being effective, robust, and investment protectors.

Following nicely from the above, one of the things that really makes Storacall cabinets and hoods stand out is the high-quality materials used in their construction. Steel and other metals are used to provide a sturdy structure that will stand the test of time.

Anything that is going to spend a long time in the open under the stars, needs to be designed and built to withstand the full force of the British weather. Fortunately, Storacall telephone cabinets, for the most part, are waterproofed to an IP65 rating.

One decision you will have to make when deciding on the best option for your public telephone is whether you will opt for a full cabinet or an acoustic hood.

Cabinets, as you can probably guess, are rectangular or square in design and are designed to fully contain a telephone. They are often fitted with a door that can be opened and closed. Sometimes they can be fitted with a key if you are worried about the damage being done to the phone. However, as is the case with roadside assistance options, they are usually free to open and close without any key.

Acoustic hoods may sound a little less easy to explain. They are basically, as the name suggests units that are installed above where a telephone is installed and provide not just protection from the elements but help to enhance the sound from the phone. If you have ever tried to talk on a payphone in a public place when there is a lot of wind blowing or a lot of background noise from a busy part of town or a railway or bus station, you will know how hard it can be to understand what the other person is saying on the other end of the line and vice versa.

Acoustic hoods solve that problem to an extent.

Which is best for you? It will come down to personal preference and also where the telephone is placed. If it is outside and fully exposed to the elements, though, we would recommend you consider a cabinet, whereas, if it is not fully exposed and you are just looking to improve the quality of the calls, a hood will suffice.

You may wonder why you should choose PMC Telecom to buy the Storacall cabinet you need for your public telephone.
