Notes About Business

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

1. Low Cost Landline Calls – VOIP call carriers offer low call rates or free national calls.

2. Low Call Rates to Mobiles – without long tie-ins – especially when using GSM gateway equipment

3. Lower International Call Rates – most ITSPs offer very low cost or inclusive international calls.

4. Reduced Line Rentals – many VOIP call carriers offer unlimited outbound trunks which could cut your line rental fees.

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

6. Much Longer Call Recording – record more calls over longer periods.

7. Keep Your Number – by porting geographic numbers to voip you can move your business anywhere without changing numbers.

8. Automatic Call Diversion – your calls will be diverted automatically upon any failure of service.

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

10. Better Control – apply call diverts and change your phone system settings 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
