There’s been a lot of talk over the past few years about VoIP phone systems… And with good reason. They are less expensive to install, maintain and upgrade than traditional business telephone systems. You also receive more features (e.g., voicemail, long distance, conference calls, etc.) for less money.
The reason VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is so versatile is because it uses the internet to make calls instead of traditional phone lines. Simply put, VoIP converts an analog audio signal (your voice) into a digital one and then transfers that information over the internet to the person you’re talking to. By using the internet instead of traditional phone lines, you’re bypassing the big telcos entirely… And saving a bundle in the process.
If you’ve used Vonage, Skype or Google Voice before, you’ve used VoIP. In fact, chances are you’ve used VoIP when placing a long distance call. Telephone companies often route long distance calls through their network via VoIP–without you even knowing it!
How could VoIP work for your business?
Because of the growing popularity of VoIP over traditional telephone systems, prices for VoIP telephone systems have dropped significantly and are very affordable, no matter what size your business is.
