IP telephone systems are the new thing in the telecommunications world as more and more businesses make the switch to an IP based system for their calls. Others, however, wonder if the change is right for them—after all, why switch systems if the current one seems to work just fine? Well, you might be surprised to learn there are actually quite a few reasons for both larger and smaller companies alike. Here are 5 reasons for any business to go VoIP.
1. Reduced fees
VoIP telephone fees are vastly smaller than their traditional counterpart. Some VoIP business packages are offered for prices as low as 24.99$/month per line and 4.99$/month per extension, a considerably smaller amount than standard phone packages.
2. Unlimited calls
With most providers, there are no minutes or unlimited hours blocks, nor will you ever be charged for going over a limit of any kind. With a VoIP telephone system, you will have access to unlimited local calls, even international ones if your package allows it. As a result, you end up paying even smaller fees.
3. Centralization
With IP telephony, your phone system will use your pre-existing IP network, thus centralizing various systems to one network.
4. Less hardware
Standard telephone systems require hardware specific to your provider, and these infrastructures do not come with cost and effort. With IP telephony, almost everything about your telephone system is virtual, which helps you avoid losing the money and time normally required for phone hardware installation and maintenance. Moreover, since you likely already have an Internet package, you can probably support your VoIP needs with no extra cost. If the investment is already there, why not take advantage of it?
5. Extra functions
Lastly, VoIP phones offer a vast array of functionalities which you simply cannot find with standard phone services. Indeed, since IP telephony works through your Internet connection, many new functions are made possible, and other older ones are made simpler and more effective.
With such a list of advantages for your company, now is the time for any company to switch to an IP phone system. The longer you wait, the less your company will save money!
