What is Business VoIP Service?

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is changing the way we communicate. Your voice is broken up into digital packets and travels over the Internet instead of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The Internet is not heavily regulated like the PSTN which is one of the reasons why VoIP can save you money on your phone calls.

Now because everything is digital this gives you many other advantages since your phone is handled in a similar way as your computer is on the Internet. Let's now look at some of these advantages.

What are the Advantages of Business VoIP Service?

There are numerous advantages to a Business VoIP service over a traditional circuit switched phone service:

• The Internet is not heavily regulated like the PSTN so calls are cheap to make and many Business VoIP providers simply charge a monthly fee and that covers all of your calls regardless of their destination.

• Business VoIP is a digital packet based system, as previously mentioned. Therefore numerous Internet phone calls can be made at the same time and sent over the same Local Area Network (LAN) that is used for your computer data needs. This is a very cost effective way to make telephone calls.

• Many Businesses have multiple locations some of which may be in the next state, others could be on the other side of the world. Usually these locations are connected to a company wide data network (Wide Area Network for example). With a Business VoIP system, extension dialing is such that the location is irrelevant. An employee in Seattle can call a colleague in London through a simple 4 digit extension and at no cost. This is because the call is sent over the company's network on the Internet rather than through traditional long distance calling. This feature alone can be very attractive to Businesses wishing to save money on their phone bills.

• With Business VoIP comes a vast array of features. Receive your faxes and voicemail via email or with a web browser. Conference calling. Caller ID. Call forwarding. Going away on Business - take your IP phone or Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) with you and your number goes with you or configure your phone to call-forward. Many more features thrown in as standard.

• All telephone and data administration can be handled by one Information Services (IS) department. This can save a Business a considerable amount of money.

• Business VoIP dramatically simplifies portability and installation. Assuming your IP telephone or ATA is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), you can move your phone anywhere and still keep the same phone number since it will receive an IP address dynamically. This is like moving your laptop and still being able to log in to your network. It is estimated that it can cost hundreds of dollars to move a telephone in a regular circuit switched network due to labor costs and the cost of reconfiguring the PBX. These costs are not incurred in a Business VoIP system since the IP network does not care about your location.
