Choosing your VoIP system

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband connection instead of a regular phone line.

Over the years, many businesses have chosen to move over to VoIP due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness. Other key benefits of using VoIP are:

• Great for multiple calls
• Accessible when you are on the go
• The option to make international calls at no extra cost
• Better quality calls

Interested? Here are some of the most important points to look out for when investing in a VoIP system:

1. Check that the broadband bandwidth is sufficient. Ideally 5 – 100 Kbps per concurrent VoIP call is recommended. (But bear in mind, the more you use your internet for browsing, the less bandwidth that is available for VoIP calls. Meaning the bigger the bandwidth the better!)
2. Decide whether desk phones or portable ones are best suited to your business.
3. Ensure that the number of minutes included within the package offered is suitable in order to cover the call levels and avoid any overspend.
4. Consider what add-ons you would like included within your phone system. This could be voicemail, fax-to-email, hold music, access to a mobile app or auto attendant plus much more.
