In the last article, we discussed some aspects of VoIP systems in the business world, and this week we will do so again with an international perspective. Since their sudden surge in popularity, VoIP telephone systems have been known for their low prices, both in residential and business situations. It is therefore not surprising to find that they are just as reasonably priced internationally as they are locally, in contrast to the pricier alternative of standard telephone systems. Here are the advantages of foreign softphone numbers for North-Americans.
One straightforward but highly advantageous feature of VoIP systems is their multilingual capabilities. For example, imagine yourself a Canadian business owner who has recently established a new company branch in a foreign country. In your newly expanded enterprise, you would no doubt have phone systems for each branch. With a VoIP system, your phone systems will offer a variety of language options, thus easing the integration and increasing the synergy of your international business.
For such business owners (of both larger and smaller enterprises), international calls add up to a hefty sum. Thankfully, such an issue can be averted with the help of a VoIP phone system. Take the previous example: you are a Canadian business owner and you have recently acquired a building in some foreign country. You wish to establish a satellite office in said building; however, with a standard telephone system in your entire enterprise, the calls made from one office to the other will quickly add up to your international fees. Such costs can be alleviated with VoIP systems, however, as you can acquired a foreign number for yourself (or your Canadian HQ), thus allowing you to make local calls to this given region from anywhere at all—in this case, from one office to the next. This will help you quickly reduce your long-distance fees.
And those are two of the many advantages of softphone systems. Have you any questions or comments? Let us know below, or visit us on our Facebook page.
