A Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP phone system) allows users to make voice calls using the internet, rather than a phone line. This results in a far less expensive and far more flexible communication method, enabling a variety of user-friendly features to be introduced alongside the basic call functionality.
You’re likely to have come across a VoIP phone before. While there are different handsets – covering a variety of features depending on your needs – the majority simply look like a standard office phone. This means you’ll be able to transfer calls, access your voicemail, and use short numbers to communicate internally. Some of the hardware options will be more specialist than others; such as handsets specifically designed for receptionists, or IP conference devices.
Softphones are becoming increasingly popular. This software-based solution is commonly referred to as a softphone, and can be used on a mobile device or a desktop. They replicate a physical handset in terms of interface to provide a familiar user experience. For the most part, a desktop app will require a headset and microphone, whereas a mobile app experience will be identical to making a normal call from your mobile.
As home working becomes more commonplace, having a phone system that supports remote working is integral. VoIP allows users to work from anywhere, so long as they are connected to the internet. This can be via hardware, or using a softphone (mobile or desktop app).
Unlike a traditional ISDN line, VoIP makes moving office and/or upscaling your business a quick and painless process. Any additional handsets can be added within hours of a request being made.
A more secure and private method of making calls than using a traditional analogue telephone. VoIP has standardised encryption protocols that make your calls and data more secure than ever before.
VoIP telephony significantly cuts down on the cost of domestic and international calls compared to traditional phone systems.
Whether or not a company allows employees to work from home on a regular basis, VoIP can be hugely beneficial in unprecedented situations when a business has to temporarily close its headquarters. In the case of power cuts, internet failure, acts of God or illness, VoIP makes relocating staff a far easier process. VoIP system features such as call forwarding to mobiles, as well as softphones, ensures there is no impact to a company’s ability to communicate internally or with its clients, even in the most exceptional of situations.
