If you’ve been unsure about whether to make the switch over to a VoIP Phone system we’ve got a quick and easy way for you to see the benefits. Read through our top 10 advantages of using a VoIP phone system and any doubt you’ll have about VoIP phones will disappear.  

1. Low Cost-Per-Call

Compared to analogue phone lines VoIP set ups work out cheaper overall when it comes to cost per call. The reasons or this is because analogue lines are limited in the number of  people who can be connected to them. This limitation means that you need more lines which drives up the cost  over all, especially if calls are being made long distance. With VoIP though using the internet to relkays calls means data circumvents these roadblocks resulting in cheaper long distance and domestic calls overall.   

2. Service Mobility

Analogue landlines are static. They’re set up in one location and you can’t easily move them. This matters for businesses that are likely to be moving premises as you’ll need to go through bureaucratic procedures to get phone numbers attached to specific lines to remain the same as you move. With a VoIP phone system though there are no physical limitations and you have the ability to move your business wherever you want without having to deal with new numbers or bureaucracy to keep the same number. This means you’ll have a much easier time when moving, and you can’t put a price on a stress free move.   

3. Versatility of Features

One of the biggest advantages of VoIP phone systems is that they allow for you to utilise a plethora of features at the same time allowing you and your employees to be more productive overall. Examples of this include:

1. Whilst in a call queue you can review missed calls through voice-mail to text transcriptions that are sent to your emails
2. Forwarding voicemails to other members of your team so that everyone who needs it has access to the message.

Features such as these are not just beneficial they’re also easy to keep active. As we mentioned above the VoIP systems are flexible when it comes to you moving offices. This means these systems are going to move with you meaning you set them up once and then they’re there for life.  

4. Simple Conference Calls

As businesses grow the need for conference calls often grows with them. So having a system that allows for easy conference calls is necessary to meet the demands of business growth. VoIP systems are uniquely positioned to help with this as the system uses a converged data network rather than dedicated phone lines, making creating and participating in conference calls significantly easier.  This holds true for video conferences as well, which for a growing business are essential to ensure that people outside of the office are able to properly engage with meetings. VoIP systems make video conferencing much easier to handle and more efficient.  

5. Efficient Client Interaction

Businesses are continually evolving and one of the biggest trends that is affecting the world is that people are spending less time in the office. Working from home is on the up, and more and more people are going to be working from outside the office when travelling as well. VoIP systems are perfect for this new world of business as they allow you to define where calls can be made. As an example, you can choose to have a multi-step forwarding process. If someone phones your desk phone and you don’t answer, it can be sent directly to another team member, if they don;t answer it can be sent to your mobile. This means you’ll never have to worry about missing an important call ever again. For more information on how you can take advantage of VOIP Phone System don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
