VOIP

Why use VoIP phones?

VoIP phones are used for both business and home solutions. Why would someone use a VoIP phone instead of a regular phone? Reasons include call quality, the diversity of devices that can connect to the phone system, cost savings, and expanded functionality beyond a traditional phone.

  • Call quality: Sound quality and call reliability are generally greater on VoIP systems, assuming your internet connection is strong enough to support the technology. If the bandwidth is lagging, then VoIP call quality might be affected.
  • Device diversity: VoIP systems can support desk phones and handsets that you normally think of with a phone system. But cell phones, desktops, laptops, and tablets can also make and receive calls through these setups.
  • Cost savings: VoIP for business starts out with costs around $30 a month per connection. Long-distance and international calls are often much cheaper when placed over the cloud versus a traditional private branch exchange (PBX) system.
  • Expanded functionality: In addition to the ability to make and receive calls, VoIP phones can feature unified communications benefits like voicemail to email, virtual receptionists, video conferencing, click-to-call, and more. For growing businesses, this functionality becomes valuable as the business grows and needs to operate more efficiently.
  • Future-proofing: VoIP is the calling technology of the future — and not just because it’s generally faster, more reliable, and more cost-efficient than legacy systems. Landlines are being phased out all over the world in favor of VoIP. In the USA, for example, telecom companies no longer have to offer or even maintain landline options.
  • Flexibility: Flexible, hybrid, and remote work have a lot of benefits for staff and companies alike. However, these models are challenging if your business relies on a landline system, where your employees need to be in the office to take and make calls. With VoIP, you can use any internet-enabled device for calls, and you can use it from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Scalability: Scaling a landline system is difficult and expensive. It involves running additional copper wires through your walls to new phone stations and handsets. That’s not the case with VoIP. Scaling a VoIP system is as simple as adding a new user to your account. Plus, it’s often much simpler to onboard them.
