Lower Your Voice Bill with VoIP

Are you paying more for voice services than you would like to be? VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a proven new technology that allows you to make and receive calls over a broadband Internet connection. For businesses, the switch from traditional telephone service to VoIP has can lower operating expenses while increasing feature and functionality.

VoIP services are more affordable because the service leverages your Internet connection which is less expensive than dedicated voice lines. Most VoIP services include a wide range of calling features that can be easily customized on a per user basis. Advanced functionality such as voicemail-to-email integration, click-to-call from the PC, simultaneous ring to the cell phone, and remote office features are also benefits of VoIP service.

One of the easiest and most common ways for businesses to deploy VoIP is with a hosted solution. With hosted VoIP service, the phone switch and the management of the switching equipment is managed off-site by the service provider. The only upfront equipment cost is for the IP phones. On a monthly basis, the business pays a service fee per phone that includes a specific calling plan that may include bundled minutes.

Seven reasons why hosted VoIP solutions are more cost effective than traditional phone service:

1. Less capital outlay – there’s no need to buy an expensive PBX
2. Lower maintenance cost – since the switching equipment is managed and monitored by the service provider, fewer resources are required for equipment upkeep and maintenance.
3. Lower operating expenses – your business can leverage one Internet connection for both voice and data services
4. Fewer administrative resources needed – features and functionality can be easily customized by the users themselves. Management reports are also easy to generate by the system administrator.
5. Unmatched flexibility – whether you are adding or removing users, you only pay for the number of phones/stations that you are using. Adding or removing stations is just a phone call away.
6. Lower usage costs – on-net phone calls, e.g., between offices or employees, do not incur usage billing as with traditional telephone service.
7. Improved worker productivity – features like simultaneous ring, remote office features, voicemail-to-email integration give workers the ability to remain productive even away from the office.
