OK so VOIP communications have been gaining ground over conventional telecoms - here are some of the reasons why:
1. Low Call Rates to Terrestrial Numbers - many Voip call carriers offer low rate or free calls.
2. Low Call Rates to Mobiles - without long tie-ins - especially when using GSM gateway equipment
3. Lower International Call Rates - most ITSPs offer very low cost or inclusive international calls.
4. Lower Line Rentals - ITSPs offer unlimited outbound trunks deals which could help reduce your rental fees.
5. Free Calls to Home Workers & Branch Offices - assuming of course you have switched these users to VOIP.
6. Much Longer Call Recording - record more calls over longer periods.
7. Keep Your Number - you may keep your geographic numbers regardless of where you move.
8. Automatic Call Diversion - should your PBX or internet fail your calls will be diverted automatically
9. Short Contracts - VOIP call providers offer short contract lengths of 0 - 12 months.
10. More Control - apply your own call diverts and modify your phone system remotely
Businesses using VOIP should not see any difference in call quality if the setup is good - see voip call quality for more info. The path to success may not always be smooth as telephone service providers may create number porting delays & quality of internet connections will vary with location. The experience or inexperience of your installer will play a big part in the success or failure of your migration - get references!.
