3 Things To Know About Phone Service

What is VoIP? Who Needs It? VoIP is an acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol. As a business owner or a consumer, there are a few things you should know before your next shopping jaunt for telephone service.

Can my business save money by switching my telephone service to VoIP?

1. Consider Voice Quality

Can you save money?  The quick answer is....YES! However, the quick answer may not always be the correct answer depending on your situation. We could save the water company a bunch of money, if we could convince them to share the water pipes with the sewer pipes. What's wrong with that? Well, obviously, the water quality would plummet. The water company is an extreme example, and while VoIP telephone traffic can be shared with your Internet Connection, this isn't always the best idea. Georgia Business Net offers a range of solutions for VoIP and telephone services, and all of them consider voice quality as they are being delivered.
 

2. Consider Scalability

Scalability for future moves, adds, and changes. Need to add a telephone or a line? Now here's where VoIP can save some real money. Adding news lines or handsets to your VoIP solution is as easy as getting the new telephone and plugging it in. Service calls are eliminated in many cases, and therefore expensive install costs are eliminated. VoIP is a good way to only pay for the exact capacity you need.

3. Consider Functionality

Our newest small business phone systems (hosted and premise based) are based upon software, rather than actual premise based hardware. Extending the functionality of the system is much cheaper in a software based environment. Your small business can realize some great "big company" features for a fraction of the cost per feature when compared to a traditional phone system. Some of these features include: call queues, advanced transfer and forwarding, ring groups, call recording and much more.
