10 Benefits of Moving your business to VOIP

Lets face it, VOIP has been ‘muscling in’ on conventional telecoms for some time – here are some of the reasons why:

1. Cheap Landline Calls – ITSPs 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. Less Line Rental Fees – VOIP providers offer unlimited outbound trunks deals which help reduce your line rentals .

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. Short Contracts – many ITSPs have very short contracts without tie-ins.

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

If your VOIP solution is correctly set-up then you shouldn’t be able to differentiate between conventional & VOIP calls – see voip call quality for more info. It’s not always plain sailing as telecoms companies sometimes cause number porting delays & broadband services will vary with location – success or failure will in most cases will boil down to the experience or incompetence of your installer.
