Business VOIP - Ten Reasons to Switch your Comms

Author: Drew John

OK so VOIP communications have been gaining ground over conventional telecoms - here are some of the reasons why:

1. Low Call Rates to Terrestrial Numbers - many Voip call carriers offer low rate or free calls.

2. Low Mobile Rates - Using VOIP PBX with GSM gateways.

3. Cheap International Calls - most providers offer very low or inclusive international calls.

4. Lower Line Rentals - ITSPs offer unlimited outbound trunks deals which could help reduce your rental fees.

5. Free Calls to Home Workers & Branch Offices - assuming of course you have switched these users to VOIP.

6. Longer Call Recording - no seperate PC required & many years of call recording is possible.

7. Keep Geographic Number - by switching to voip your landline number can move with you.

8. Automatic Call Diversion - should your PBX or internet fail your calls will be diverted automatically

9. Shorter Contracts - most VOIP suppliers have short contracts.

10. More Control - apply your own call diverts and modify your phone system remotely

If VOIP is correctly implemented in your business then you shouldn\'t be able to tell the difference between regular calls & VOIP calls - see voip call quality for more information It is not always plain sailing as telecoms companies drag their heels on number porting & broadband connection quality varies with location. As with all telecom installations - success or failure is usually down to initial provisioning and the experience or incompetence of your installer - allways get references
