Lets face it, VOIP has been ‘muscling in’ on conventional telecoms for some time – here are some of the reasons why:<\/p>\n

1. Low Call Rates to Terrestrial Numbers<\/strong> – many Voip call carriers offer low rate or free calls.<\/p>\n

2. Cheap Mobile Rates<\/strong> – offered on short commitment – even lower using GSM gateways.<\/p>\n

3. Lower International Call Rates<\/strong> – most ITSPs offer very low cost or inclusive international calls.<\/p>\n

4. Reduced Line Rentals<\/strong> – many VOIP call carriers offer unlimited outbound trunks which could cut your line rental fees.<\/p>\n

5. Free Calls to Remote Offices & Workers<\/strong> – calls between VOIP enabled remote workers & offices would be free.<\/p>\n

6. Much Longer Call Recording<\/strong> – record more calls over longer periods.<\/p>\n

7. Keep Your Number<\/strong> – by porting geographic numbers to voip you can move your business anywhere without changing numbers.<\/p>\n

8. Automatic Call Diversion<\/strong> – your calls will be diverted automatically upon any failure of service.<\/p>\n

9. Shorter Contracts<\/strong> – most VOIP suppliers have short contracts. <\/p>\n

10. More Control<\/strong> – apply your own call diverts and modify your phone system remotely<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
