While hosted VoIP phone systems are known mainly for their price, VoIP phones also simplify many things. With immediate as well as long-term effects, here are some ways hosted VoIP systems will make your life simpler.
No hardware
With hosted VoIP systems, there is no hardware to speak of; as a virtual system (including a hosted IP PBX for companies), VoIP phones operate through your Internet connection. They require no extra equipment, apart from the physical VoIP phone itself for home VoIP systems (it is virtual for mobile VoIP phones, though).
Automated functions
With hosted VoIP systems, many functions have been automated for simplicity’s sake. Moreover, your VoIP phones can be set up to undertake certain actions or functions automatically. With such advanced call transferring and voicemail options, your VoIP phone will take care of these things for you.
Exclusive VoIP phone functions
Some functions are exclusive to VoIP phones. With a VoIP system, on top of industry standards, you will have access to new VoIP call transferring, VoIP call waiting options, VoIP conference call options, etc. Needless to say, these new functions will also make life simpler for you.
Virtual faxing
Depending on your VoIP package, you may have access to faxing options from your VoIP phone. As is the case with the previously mentioned hosted IP PBX, the fax machine is entirely virtual for the sender, which allows you to send a fax at any time from anywhere with a VoIP phone device (such as a computer or mobile with VoIP software). Therefore, any document saved unto your VoIP device can be faxed at any moment, provided an Internet connection is available.
With a good VoIP provider and VoIP software, a hosted VoIP phone system can save you a lot of time and effort. Do you have any questions or comments? Let us know below, or visit us on our Facebook page.
