Chapter 1
First off, it’s always important to get a sense of what VoIP is and what it does.
After all, if you’re going to make the big switch, then you want to have a basic grasp on the technology.
VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is a digital technology for sending voice data over the internet.
IP telephony means…
High quality calls
Low costs
Complete elimination of cables offered by telecommunication companies
The power of VoIP will provide you with access to an array of up-to-the-minute phone services.
The beauty is that all of them can be controlled by you through a single online portal - or customer panel.
What else is great about VoIP?
It gives you the opportunity to contact your clients, business partners, colleagues from anywhere.
Now you can take business calls wherever you are in the world.
You can create branches internationally and talk for free between them by dialing an extension number.
Any other good news?
How about...
Minimal subscription - no long term contracts
Noticeably lower bills for long-distance and international calls
No need to purchase special devices
No fee for installation and system maintenance
It goes without saying that a VoIP phone system has too many positives to be ignored.
The massively reduced costs involved mean that any start-up can also join in.
First, you need to learn more about the VoIP hardware you’ll need for your business... and that’s why we’re here.
Which leads us onto VoIPon…
