What is your best bet when looking for an affordable, effective telecom solution? Chances are, you’ve heard that VoIP is the best option, and for good reason too! VoIP is an excellent choice for tech-forward companies that need a reliable phone system.
Unfortunately, once you scratch the surface, things get a bit murky. You may wonder, exactly how a VoIP system will add value to your business. It’s time to clear things up. The following points are key ways in which VoIP can benefit your company.
VoIP takes the job of making phone calls away from physical, comm lines. Instead, it makes use of Internet Protocol (IP) to send and receive calls. Essentially, the voice data is converted into network packets. These are then sent via the IP network you’ve chosen. This network could be a dedicated IP connection through your phone provider or a high-speed internet connection. In some cases, your solution could use both. If you choose to use your telephone provider’s network, you will be entitled to that your service will meet basic quality standards. Keep in mind that this does not apply if you use an internet connection.
Compare that to using a landline solution. To do that, each call must be transmitted via a dedicated line. You are only able to install a finite number of these lines. This leads to resource contention, which results in high prices. VoIP doesn’t have these physical limitations or associated costs.
Keep in mind that in many instances, businesses choose VoIP because they are able to make and receive local and long-distance calls for free within their country. For example, as long as a business selects a number with a United States area code, they will be able to make and receive calls within the Continental United States for free.

If mobility is a key feature of your business, VoIP can be extraordinarily valuable to you. This is a portable service that you and your team can take anywhere.
Consider a traditional phone system with a line running directly to your business with a dedicated phone number. Yes, you can arrange call forwarding or transfer services if you need to. However, that’s a multiple-step process. It’s also a pain to remember various access codes and navigate menu systems.
Thanks to VoIP, you can eliminate all of this complexity. Mobility is simply built into the system, and you are able to move around as you need. A VoIP app is a software application installed on your smartphone or computer that sends voice calls through the Internet. No need for physical phone lines, with VoIP apps, you can take your own devices as office extensions to make and receive business calls and keep your personal cell phone numbers private, as long as you have internet connections.

What if you stick to a traditional phone system? In that case, you’ll have to pay a premium for a service that will allow you to create and host conference calls for multiple participants.

The world has gotten smaller over the years. A company you do business with could be headquartered anywhere. Further, workers are no longer tethered to a single location. This could lead to complications when it comes to handling crucial phone calls, managing voicemails, even getting important documents to the right place.
By using a VoIP phone solution, you give yourself control over where you receive calls. You may even be able to select an option that forwards calls to your home office after a few rings, then to your assistant’s phone if you don’t answer. It’s also possible to have a single call forwarded to more than one device. This ensures that important calls are going to be picked up by someone.
You can even use your updated phone system to help with document management. You and your team members can use VoIP to e-fax important documents. That’s a better alternative to searching out fax machines that are increasingly difficult to locate.
