Why VoIP?
Most of the largest companies
have been using Voice over IP for some years now. So it is not a new
technology.
What IS new, however, is that, due to the
advent of reliable and widespread Broadband internet connections, small
companies can now take advantage of the technology. This provides an
opportunity to install - at much lower cost than hitherto - a
professional, full-featured telephone system in your office. And it will not involve buying one of those complicated and expensive boxes that screws to the wall! And you can use fewer BT lines than you would use with such a PBX, saving considerable monthly line rentals.
Remote working?
The system recognises the fact that
many small businesses find it cost-effective to allow some workers to
operate from home. The "Virtual" PBX will work with
"extensions" that can be located anywhere in the country - or, indeed, in the world. And it
does not involve expensive call forwarding. The cost of making and
receiving calls is not affected by the physical location of the
Extension.
This technology is all provided over the
Internet, and relies on the availability of good broadband connectivity
at each location. Unfortunately it is unlikely that the dream of having
your desk on a quiet beach somewhere in the Caribbean will be fulfilled
- but only because broadband may not be available there. And, after all,
we must leave some places where we can escape the phone!
Multiple locations?
If your company has multiple locations -
either branch offices, factories or home-workers - then all the calls
made between any of these would be made at zero cost. This even applies
to locations outside the country.
AND.....We can port your existing BT telephone number over to our system so you will not need to change your number. And, even better, is the fact that should you ever move premises, you will always be able to keep that number. Even if you move to a different town - or country!
So if you want a French or Spanish telephone number (or one from a range of other countries) you can have that too.
