Go VoIP and See the Difference
By Mini Swamy, TMCnet Contributor
 

You’ve invested thousands of dollars in a good, efficient telephone system that utilizes private branch exchange and you’ve been doing pretty good business in spite of having to pay for maintenance, tech support, monthly-fees and so on and so forth. But the question that’s always at the back of your mind is- should my aging legacy telephone systems be replaced -why and with what?


Well, it’s not rocket science that that there are cheaper and better alternatives out there, and yet you hesitate to take the plunge. TheDigest.com has done its homework and gives you five very good reasons why businesses need to change over to voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) phones.

As experts in the field, the writers and researchers of TheDigest.com claim to be able to accurately rank the best features of this month's current VoIP options. So, let’s see what they have to say.

VoIP technology, which transforms traditional analog phone signals into a digital format and then routes phone calls through an existing Internet connection, has been around for some time. It has been touted to be a cost effective alternative and indeed phone bills do appear to be 50-80 percent lower than their landline counterparts. Moreover, VoIP calls take up very little bandwidth and hence more calls are routed more efficiently than through a traditional phone line. This is starting to sound good already!

Well, here’s more – VoIP crosses geographical barriers and overcomes the deficiency and limitations of the traditional telephone that uses expensive copper wiring, which makes long distance-calling expensive.

By using the Internet, VoIP can offer unlimited local and long distance calling for free or at a low cost. It also uses direct inward dialing to make calls that appear to originate within targeted countries, resulting in extremely low per-minute rates. While telephone companies only offer basic calling plans with no frills attached, VoIP includes features like call conferencing and forwarding, caller ID, IP-based fax, video conference services and much more.

Not sold yet? Here’s a winner then—no PBX (News - Alert) to buy and maintain, no support staff needed to fix servers! By using hosted PBX, which is a common VoIP feature, and paying a very small amount to a VoIP provider, you can shrug off all the cares you have about your PBX and just focus on what you have to do.

Go VoIP and make a move into the 21st Century.
