0 Grow your Business using VoIP Phone Service

Summary : There are many benefits in using VoIP technology over the traditional telecom. VoIP technology can help you save money on landline, mobile and long distance calling. Not to mention many of the calling features are free of charge, which are additional charges for a conventional telephone provider. Also, VoIP technology enables VoIP to VoIP calling to be free, assuming the provider is the same for both parties.


For those who are unfamiliar with VoIP technology, VoIP is an acronym which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. In layman’s terms it means telecommunications over an Internet connection, which is essentially the ultimate difference between VoIP and traditional telephone services.  Before deciding which VoIP service to research, you must ensure you have high-speed Internet access. High-speed Internet is an integral piece of ensuring you have the best possible VoIP experience a service can provide you.
 
Besides using an Internet connection as opposed to copper wires, many of the features associated with VoIP are consistent with what you’re used to with the traditional telephone company.  For example, VoIP offers phone conferencing, voicemail, fax capabilities, caller I.D. and call waiting. The nice part about VoIP services is all of these features are typically free, whereas with a traditional telephone provider these features are not necessarily free of charge.

One great advantage of using VoIP technology is it is significantly less expensive than traditional telephone services. Since VoIP operates using an Internet connection calling to a landline, mobile phone or even a long distance call may be free, depending on the VoIP service provider. Regardless, if particular premium calling features are not free with VoIP, they will still be significantly less expensive than conventional phone services.

VoIP can also help you save because most VoIP phone services allow you to call other VoIP phones at no charge. Common sense tells you that the other VoIP phone which you are call must be subscribed to the same VoIP provider you are subscribed to. What’s great about this feature is you won’t be charged for every minute or every phone call you make. Also, since you’re using an Internet connection it doesn’t matter if the person you are calling is across the state, across the country or even across the world. Some VoIP providers offer call plans which enables users to have ultimate calling with no additional charges on the backend.

Besides telecommunicating in the traditional sense with a corded or a cordless telephone, VoIP phone service enables you to take advantage of video conferencing. It goes without being said most conventional telephone services do not offer this feature, if they do it is an expensive additional feature. Some VoIP services offer proprietary videoconferencing applications or you can use an instant messaging service in combination with your VoIP service to video chat.

Whether you are deciding to use VoIP phone service for your personal use or for your business use, it’s an extremely useful phone system that can replace your current traditional telephone system. The advantage of making free and or ultra-inexpensive phone calls helps VoIP being recognized as the surefire phone system of the next generation.
