How Using Pabx With Home Phones Can Help You Save Money

In spite of the vast improvement to mobile phone technology

, the role of home phone (sometimes also called a landline/wire line) has not diminished even a wee bit. On the contrary their role seems to be getting more critical. They are years ahead of competing technologies and as means of communication they are also getting more holistic. Home phones are not what they once used to be a plain simple voice carrier. Today they form the backbone of the Internet and to some extent TV as well. In terms of security too they are no comparison to mobile phone. It is practically impossible to intercept calls in home phones and that is the reason why security agencies and offices with security implications still prefer this time tested technology.

Technology wise telephone companies have come a long way since the days of copper wire pairs that connected home phones to central offices. Today companies like Verizon use optic fiber cable (OFC) for delivering FiOS (TV, Internet and Voice Phone) services to homes and offices across the US. Optic fiber cables unlike copper cables have the capacity to carry very large amount of data, faster without even the least loss, and that makes it the blue eyed boy of the communication industry. It would do well for you to remember that OFC technology itself has undergone sea changes. There are different varieties each with their roles clearly defined. So the next time you order a home phone, remember to order the other services as well. It is advantageous to you as well as the company that provide you with phone service.

The main advantages are:

a.Unified bill for all 3 services

b.Cross service features like: see who-is-calling on TV, Voice mail on internet etc.

c.View TV on handheld devices like iPad, iPod etc.

d.DSL internet services with consistent speed during peak hours.

Another notable advantage is the ability to connect a host of peripheral equipment to the home phone. Those that deserve some special mention here are: Facsimile equipments like fax and PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange). While the utility value of fax machines need little to be emphasized, the PABX needs some special mention here. PABXs are very important in a large office and home environment. They are particularly useful when two or more lines need to be shared across several users. They are more like force multipliers in battle fields. For example a 10-line connection from the central office of a telephone company is all that even a large enterprise with 50 or more employees will need to get all of them connected. By sharing resources enterprises can bring down communication costs drastically.

Selecting the right kind of PABX is usually an experts job. The principal factors that determine the right choice of PABX equipment are:

b.The number of points that need to be connected.

c.The layout of the locations.

d.Keeping track of usage and distributing load across different direct lines.

e.Enabling and disabling features and utility across different users.

f.Selectively using automatic features like recorded call answering so on and so forth.

The cost of PABX equipment by itself is usually a small amount, but installing, laying the cables, procuring telephone instruments and putting uninterrupted power source in place can cost lots of money. To that when maintenance is added, the monthly outgo in expenses can be really high. But the good news is that they will cost only a fraction of what it will if you ordered 50 lines directly one each for all points of communication. There is also good news for home owners who want something like a PABX in their homes on a smaller scale of course. Telephone companies nowadays provide many of the PABX like features from their central offices to homes. You can use them, they cost almost nothing more than the normal charges you pay for home phones.
