Facts About The Business VoIP System In The Workplace

By Allan N. Ricks


For many businesses, now is the time to upgrade to a business VoIP line. It does the job of a PBX switchboard without having the cost of dedicated employees to run it. There are barely any reasons not to make the switch and it is estimated that the majority of businesses will be using VoIP by 2014. With easy install guides it is simple enough to set up without servicemen or special help.

People use a business VoIP line by operating it through the existing modem connection in the office. Broadband works as a channel that can send and receive data signals simultaneously at high speeds. The call that is then made through the computer is sent through this data transfer to the main exchange where it is converted into a normal voice call. Any number that could be called on a phone can be accessed in a VoIP call, and there is the additional benefit of some calls being low cost or free.

A benefit of the business VoIP line that entices many people to sign up is the option to have a fully integrated switchboard within it. This will permit forwarding, call parking, multiple person conferences and personalized ringing preferences. A company can even have several published phone numbers for different departments and receive them all through one main hub. It is like a PBX system but with no hardware requirements and is much easier to learn.

Landlines necessitated that when a new worker joined the company, a new line would need setting up and paying for, which wasn't cheap. Not only was it not very reasonably priced, it also came with few features so that the user had little control over the calls coming in. A new business VoIP line comes ready to connect and use, with lots of settings that can be personalized all in one simple cost to the company. This fee would be much less than the cost of setting up and maintaining a physical line.

VoIP requires a computer or modem and fast broadband connection - something nearly all offices have. The fast installation that can be done with VoIP makes it less of a burden on businesses that need to keep moving. This kind of phone system is fast becoming the standard in commerce.
