10 Reasons for Switching 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. Low Call Rates to Terrestrial Numbers – many Voip call carriers offer low rate or free 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. Reduced Line Rentals – many VOIP call carriers offer unlimited outbound trunks which could cut your line rental fees.
5. Free Calls to Remote Offices & Workers – calls between VOIP enabled remote workers & offices would be free.
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. Shorter Contracts – most VOIP suppliers have short contracts.
10. More Control – apply your own call diverts and modify your phone system 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.
