What is VoIP?
VoIP is an internet phone service known as Voice over Internet Protocol. Essentially, it’s technology that allows you to make phone calls over a high speed internet connection without having access to a physical landline. In our experience, VoIP services can greatly improve a business’s ability to communicate with its clients and employees, while also being a cost effective alternative to traditional phone services.
Why is VoIP good for business?
Mobility
The same way a mobile phone gives you the freedom to take and make phone calls from anywhere, VoIP gives your business the same freedom. With VoIP your phone can ring on any device you choose, allowing you the freedom and flexibility to get out of the office without missing a thing. In our case, we take advantage of this to allow our techs to stay connected with customers even when they’re out of the office.
Flexibility
VoIP is all about choice and flexibility. It letts you choose where your phone rings and how. It even allows your phone to ring on multiple devices at once. You can choose to set it up like a traditional phone system, choose to have it ring your cellphone, or both. You can even set a hierarchy, choosing which devices to ring in what order.
Save Money Using VoIP
Switching to VoIP services is a great way to reduce your business’s communication costs without sacrificing service. Monthly service fees for VoIP are typically much lower than those for conventional phone lines, allowing your business to allocate funds more effectively. In fact, this study done by Multicom shows switching to VoIP can save small businesses up to 45% each month.
One of the standout benefits of VoIP is the substantial savings on long-distance and international calling. Traditional phone services often charge high rates for long-distance calls, but VoIP services offer much more affordable pricing. This cost-effectiveness is particularly great for businesses that frequently communicate with clients out of state or overseas, helping to keep communication expenses manageable.
Additionally, VoIP services require less costly hardware and installation compared to traditional phone systems. There’s no need for extensive wiring or expensive equipment; all you need is a reliable internet connection and VoIP-compatible devices. This ease of installation and minimal hardware investment not only reduces initial setup costs but also lowers ongoing maintenance expenses, contributing to overall cost savings for your business.
