Ready to start using a VoIP phone system in the office and capitalise on the excellent benefits of utilising newly developed technology to make calls using the internet?
Here is a closer look at what you might need to know when considering switching to more reliable, better quality and affordable business calls using VoIP systems.
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. Some people also use internet calling to refer to the VoIP system. The critical difference between VoIP telephone systems and traditional phone networks, also known as public switched telephone networks (PSTN), is that a VoIP phone system works with the cloud. Meaning your voice can transcend across as a digital signal as an internet phone call rather than using landline services. VoIP technology is a rapidly expanding area of communication with the help of improved broadband speeds and increasingly reliable internet connections.
Transmission of a phone call using VoIP systems will use your auditory information, process it digitally, and send it over using the internet. A VoIP phone can look precisely like a landline device, or your VoIP system app can answer and make calls from a mobile device using specifically designed software.
The reason cloud-based VoIP phone systems business work so well is that they require less infrastructure and hardware to operate, and this, in turn, means there is less maintenance involved. As a result, VoIP systems can be more dependable and affordable than traditional phone calls. You can also obtain the benefits of the system’s flexibility as you can accept or make calls from all your devices, including a desktop computer, phone and mobile devices.
The benefit of organising your VoIP through us is that you can get 24/7 IT support to help you get started and use the service to its full potential.
Before installing your VoIP phone system, you’ll need to ensure you have a strong internet connection on site.

The best accessories for your computer will plug into your desktop without the need for additional adaptors.
