Voice over IP

What is VoIP?

Simply put, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an innovative way to make and receive telephone calls using your Broadband Internet connection. Save Money on Phone Calls

It costs less to make a telephone call using VoIP than it does using conventional landline services. Particularly when making Local, National and International calls. Calls from one VoIP phone to another on the same network are FREE of call charges. Remember, there is no need for your computer to be on when making a call. Save Money on Line Rental

Connecting a VoIP service effectively gives you an additional telephone line. Your existing landline service will still work, but now you can make calls on your VoIP service at the same time. Therefore, you can replace any additional telephone lines with a VoIP service. Save Money for Your Business

One of the big advantages that a VoIP telephony service has to offer over a regular phone service is the abundance of benefits that come with a VoIP service for no extra cost.

Benefits for Business

VoIP can be integrated with many popular phone systems. Business users do not need to spend money on a new VoIP phone system and training staff on how to use it. By simply nominating the VoIP line as the primary outgoing line you ensure maximum cost savings and it also ensures the existing lines are available for incoming calls.

What your need to consider

There are a number of things you need to consider when looking to implement a VoIP solution. These include:

* It is important that you select a premium Internet Service Provider (ISP). The single biggest influence on the quality of your VoIP service is your broadband connection!

* If you loose power, you broadband connection will not work. If your communications are essential then we highly recommend that you will invest in a UPS.

* Why do you want a VoIP service? Are you looking for just cost savings? Do you need more Lines or are you interested in more telephone features?

* How do you want it to intergrate into your existing system? Do you want/need extra lines or handsets? Is it time to replace you existing phone system?

* For the most part, using the service is just like using your current Telephone service. If you want to use advanced features, you may need to learn a few more Feature codes.
