Internet Business Tips and Notes

As VOIP gains ground over conventional systems I am often asked what are the real benefits of switching to VOIP - so here goes:

1. Cheap Landline Calls - ITSPs offer low call rates or free national calls.

2. Cheap Mobile Rates - offered on short commitment - even lower using GSM gateways.

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

4. Lower Line Rentals - ITSPs offer unlimited outbound trunks deals which could help reduce your rental fees.

5. Home Workers & Branch Office Calls Free - if you switch these users to VOIP calls to these users will be free.

6. Longer Call Recording - Voip calls recordings are small in size & need less storage capacity than convetional calls.

7. Keep Your Number - you may keep your geographic numbers regardless of where you move.

8. Automatic Divert on any failure - your calls will automatically redirect should your PBX or lines fail

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

10. More Control - apply your own call diverts and modify your phone system 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
