Considering VOIP for your Business? - 10 Good Reasons Why..

By Darren Borne

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. Cheap International Calls - most providers offer very low 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 Divert on any failure - your calls will automatically redirect should your PBX or lines fail

9. Short Contracts - VOIP call providers offer short contract lengths of 0 - 12 months.

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

Businesses using VOIP should not see any difference in call quality if the setup is good - see voip call quality for more info. The path to success may not always be smooth as telephone service providers may create number porting delays & quality of internet connections will vary with location. The experience or inexperience of your installer will play a big part in the success or failure of your migration - get references!.
