VoIP is quickly dominating the world of telecommunications, and for us, it’s pretty darn great and amazing. However, with all things great and good in the world, myths swirl around slowly plotting its demise (it’ll never happen). So, here we are to bust some myths and lies about VoIP.
Myth one: VoIP will cost your business more
At first glance, VoIP sounds super high tech, a word you’d only hear from the utterances of tech gods like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The expensive gateway to an elusive IT club. But it’s far from that, high tech yes, but super-expensive not. Unlike traditional telephony, with VoIP your business is more likely to save money rather than lose it. As a whole, you will be spending less on infrastructure, upkeep and call rates which as you know always gets dicey when it comes to international call rates – not with VoIP it doesn’t!
Myth two: it’s tricky and hard to install
Contrary to popular belief, it’s quite simple! All you need is a broadband connection, an IP Phone or softphone, and a telephone number. Even better, if you already have the equipment we can set you up within the day.
Myth three: An IP phone isn’t different from a regular phone.
Unlike traditional analogue phones, which use copper wires to communicate, IP Phones use your broadband connection to make calls. Whilst traditional analogue phones are still reliable and good in their own right, the magic ends there. IP Phones on the other hand, offer more than reliability and crisp HD call quality, they give users the chance to use advanced features like voicemail forwarding, colour screens, memory keys and call diverting. Better yet, IP phones are still evolving so who knows what the future can hold!
Myth four: small to medium businesses won’t benefit from VoIP
As an SME, not only is money important but so is the quality of your communication as a business. With VoIP, the last thing your business will have to do is compromise on either of these factors. Your SME will benefit from saving up to 40% on call rates, the power of being able to pay only for what you use, plus with us, you’ll be given free customer support. In addition to that, If your business grows or shrinks, the flexibility of VoIP will give your business the space to change as need be.
