The increasing popularity of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology has typically been driven by the economic advantages it offers. The fact that it costs a lot less than traditional methods of telephony is a powerful incentive for most businesses. However, alongside lower costs, hosted VOIP also brings you a whole range of other benefits, giving you affordable access to a comprehensive, fully mobile, state-of-the-art business infrastructure on demand.
The system is easy and inexpensive to get set up as there is no large capital expenditure or need for in-house expertise. You pay a fixed per extension monthly fee. Your existing telephone nunbers can be ported to the new VOIP system.
VOIP is simply a means of transmitting phone calls and services across the Internet. In terms of basic usage and functionality, a VOIP enabled telephone works exactly like a ‘normal’ one. However, as detailed below, VOIP has a number of other complementary features.
- Very Low Call Costs
- Free calls between extensions
- Transfer between extensions that are location independent
- Call Groups and Queues
- Email message sent with Voicemail as attachment and full caller ID and time stamp
- Use the phone from any network that has a broadband connection
- plus many more advanced features
With hosted VOIP, these features allow access to a far wider range of services than
would typically be available without considerable investment –such as a PBX, handsets and installation charges. In fact, the only things your business needs to access hosted VOIP are a high-speed Internet service (such as broadband) and a SIP II compliant phone or a free soft-phone application installed on a PC and a headset.
