Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has changed how modern businesses operate. Given the availability of high-speed internet and the simplicity of using VoIP, organizations can communicate more efficiently and cost-effectively.
How Does VoIP Work?
VoIP converts and compresses your voice into a digital signal and uses the internet to send it in digital packets. The digital data is uncompressed on the receiving end so that you can hear the audio. This process happens instantly. In between, business phone service providers take care of the routing and connectivity, so you can make and receive calls as you did with a traditional phone line or on your mobile phone.
With a reliable high-speed fiber internet connection for your business phone and internet service, you will not notice any lag time or delay.
VoIP Business Phone Service
Setting up VoIP for business is relatively simple, for companies of all sizes. Once you find the best business phone service provider and have reliable business internet service, your provider will handle most of the setup and walk you through the rest. You can retain your current phone numbers or get new ones.
Cloud-Hosted PBX
With an on-premises private branch exchange (PBX), you have to manage the infrastructure and maintenance costs and may not have access to advanced calling features.
A hosted PBX handles all of the routing and switching in the cloud and does not require hardware or software installations on-site. With a hosted PBX, you do not need a physical PBX or have to worry about the wiring and infrastructure. Your business phone service provider will handle any maintenance.
You can use your existing handsets with an adapter and use connected devices like laptops, desktop computers or IP handsets. Mobility smartphone apps can also extend VoIP functionality to mobile phones.
