Introduction
VoIP is an acronym
for Voice over Internet Protocol, also referred to as phone service over the Internet.
If you have a broadband Internet connection, you can get your phone service delivered
through that connection instead of through your local phone company.
Why use VoIP?
There are two major reasons to use VoIP:
- Lower Cost
- Increased Functionality
An Internet phone service typically costs 50% less than traditional service from an industry leader. VoIP is very flexible and can provide advanced functionality without the
need for expensive, specialized equipment. Some features available with a VoIP service just weren't previously possible.
Features include:
- Interactive voice menus
- Multiple voicemail accounts
- Call hunting
- Conference calls
- Mobile voice accounts
- Custom functions
- Caller ID
- Caller ID blocking
- Caller ID on call waiting
- Select call blocking (block calls matching certain criteria)
- Voicemail to email
- Do not disturb
- Online billing
- Real-time usage reports
- Telemarketer screening
- Voice memos
- Calls all across the nation as well as select international destinations are available at no additional cost
Who can benefit from VoIP?
Anyone! (Well, anyone that wants to save money) VoIP is a smart choice for homes and businesses alike. Home users need to have a broadband service. However, as businesses
typically have higher usage, we recommend that they have a higher speed broadband service. Those businesses with a high call volume may even require a dedicated service. Businesses can even
take advantage of a VoIP phone system for their business. |
