VOIP Benefits

25 July 2018

VOIP or Voice over Internet Protocol is a technology where you can make phone calls over the broadband internet connection as opposed to the normal phone system.  It works by converting sound into a digital voice communication and then sending it across the internet.  But what are the VOIP benefits that means your business should consider it?

For starters, you can save a lot of money by making your phone calls through a  VOIP system rather than a traditional phone system.  This is especially true if you make long distance or international calls where the costs can quickly mount up.  You can also reduce the equipment needed in the office and therefore upkeep costs because you can use the system to access everything from internet browsers to cloud software.

VOIP systems are very flexible and you can use them with a conventional phone with a converter or adapter.  This looks like a USB memory stick and can plug into a computer.  This means the system will ‘see’ signals from analogue phones and transfer them into digital data.  You can still have a dedicated phone number only the calls will come through the high-speed internet connection rather than the phone line.

It is also an ideal system if you have multiple locations, mobile staff or people working from home.  It can easily be accessed from multiple locations and allows everyone to use the system, saving money for the business and ensuring a standardised approach for the whole business.
