If you're trying to reduce the costs your company is paying out for phone bills, it can be hard to know where to cut back. After all, many phone calls placed by members of staff at your company are important they're calling clients to report in on their work, entering conference calls to seal big business deals, contacting colleagues and business partners to make plans or update new occurrences as and when they happen, and so on. It's possible that some of these calls are international ones, but when your clients are overseas and they prefer talking over the phone as opposed to through email, how can you cut down?
One way of saving money on calls while keeping the same level of service and contact for clients and staff is to use VoIP technology. VoIP, which stands for voice over internet protocol, is a way of placing phone calls using the internet instead of a phone line, and therefore utilising the free' nature of the internet to get your message across. You can hook up a standard telephone or a feature rich IP phone to make these calls and even continue browsing the web as VoIP only takes up a small amount of your broadband bandwidth. What many VoIP programmes offer includes many benefits, such as getting a standard geographical phone number, free calls to other VoIP users on their network, a fully configured IP phone, limited free minutes to the UK every month, fixed price calling or capped rate calling as you desire and cheap rates to international destinations, helping you save an enormous amount on your bills.
Your VoIP line is used in the same way as a standard telephone line but instead of using phone lines your voice is transmitted to the call destination over the internet just like an email or instant message. The quality is of a high standard and it's easy and efficient to use, meaning all you have to think about is how much money your company will save thanks to cheaper phone calls.
That being said, modern telephone systems have evolved significantly over the past few years, and business voip phones can now actually connect to the internet and over the web. Many businesses have found this to be a successful way of integrating their telephone with the internet, as it can save them money, allows them to look more professional in their online dealings and helps to improve their productivity,
