What are the benefits of a VOIP Phone System?
VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol, aka Voice Over Internet Phones. VOIP phone services in the USA are becoming much more prevalent amongst businesses of all shapes and sizes. VOIP has seen a fast market adoption and with many legacy telecommunication companies closing their legacy phone service, VOIP is only going to continue increasing in popularity. Many of our clients and prospects find us by researching online business VOIP solutions and we work with them to find the VOIP platform that best fits their needs.
What is type of phone system is a VOIP Phone system?
VOIP phone systems do not rely on traditional legacy telephone lines. VOIP phone systems utilize your internet connection to make phone calls. In other words, VOIP phone systems provide you with a platform to make and receive phone calls through your internet connection. For some people VOIP sounds daunting since the technology behind the phone system is different but the learning curve is minimal as VOIP phone systems look identical to traditional phone systems.
The biggest difference between VOIP Phone Systems and traditional phone systems also known as POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) lines is VOIP phones are connected to an internet port instead of a traditional phone line. Also, most VOIP Phone System providers provide you with an additional suite of apps that allow you to do things like make and receive phone calls, send text messages, and send faxes from an app on your smartphone, smart tablet, and/or desktop/laptop.
Why is VOIP better than traditional POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) lines?
Traditional phone systems have many limitations including limited mobility. When you have a traditional phone system, you can only make phone calls from a specific location. On a traditional phone system, you can forward phone calls to another location, but you are not able to use the same phone number to call someone back. Traditional POTS lines are also easier to hack to listen in on calls, and something like a car accident or rainstorm can affect your service if a light pole with your phone line gets damaged.
As we mentioned above, most VOIP phone systems include a suite of apps that allow you to make phone calls from a plethora of devices. In the event there is a rainstorm or a car accident that affects your light pole, you will still be able to make and receive phone calls form an app on your phone if you have wireless internet service. With the same app, you can also make and receive phone calls from anywhere you have internet service, including a foreign country.
How does a VOIP phone system function?
A traditional phone system needs an analog signal (which comes from a telephone line) to transmit audio. A traditional phone system transmits your analog audio across telephone wires to the recipient. A VOIP phone system leverages digital signals to transmit audio. A VOIP phone system creates a digital signal when a phone call is initiated and can transmit this audio signal to traditional POTS phone systems and/or other VOIP phone systems.
VOIP phone systems could send and receive phone calls from other digital/VOIP phone systems as well as traditional POTS phone systems.
There are many features and benefits that make VOIP phone systems more attractive than traditional POTS phone systems. VOIP phone systems are easy to install, are easy to scale, provide native conference calling, call forwarding can be handled from within an app, caller ID is native on VOIP phone systems, you can make and receive calls from an app, and much more.
VOIP phone systems are also usually a lot less expensive than traditional POTS phone systems, they’re easy to relocate, and provide native mobile support. VOIP phone lines are cheaper than traditional POTS phone lines and often increase the productivity of the businesses utilizing the system.
