VoIP Phone Systems has changed the way we do business and has provided many of the new features that were previously only available in dedicated PBX and cell phone plans. But there are still some of the old features that are often found in today’s VoIP Phone systems. Some of these old features are very familiar to users of traditional phones but may not be something you’ve experienced before. So this article will introduce some of the old standards for handling calls with VoIP.

The Top Business Features of a VoIP Phone System.

Low Cost. Per-minute calls are generally less expensive with a VoIP Phone system because there is no long distance charges. As a part of its name, a VoIP phone system uses Internet Protocol to make outgoing calls. The IP address that your business uses can either be your Internet connection or a dedicated IP address to your phone company, which makes it easier for people to dial from anywhere with Internet access.

Advanced Features.

Some newer VoIP phones use advanced calling protocols, including the ability to make voice calls over the Internet using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). SIP allows you to connect your computer to the phone company’s server and make VoIP calls directly. These types of services are usually offered by larger telephone companies as add-on services and are quite popular among small businesses that want the ability to conduct virtual communications.

Web Conference Calls. Some VoIP services include conference calls that allow you to dial a toll-free number, then enter a room where other people are also dialing into the same number. You can then join the call through VoIP services and have an individual to conference call with all of them simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for large organizations that need to conduct meetings and conferences using a large group of employees.

Web Based Apps. Many VoIP providers include a range of web-based applications in their packages. This means that you can surf the web, check email, download apps, or perform tasks right from your phone. You can even make voice calls right from your web browser. These types of features are a great addition for individuals who like to work on their own time and don’t wish to miss important appointments.

No Electricity Required. Because there is no need for you to have an extra electrical outlet open for an extra power source, the majority of VoIP phone systems can be used in locations that do not have access to electricity. In most cases, all you need is a broadband Internet connection for making long distance calls as well as short-distance calls. Because there is no need to purchase extra telephone lines or even rent them when needed, you will save a significant amount of money. This means that you can operate your VoIP system right from your home.

Saves Time. When you use a VoIP system, you are automatically saving a tremendous amount of time by avoiding the need for you to schedule and hold office appointments. The majority of VoIP phones also have built-in voicemail which enables you to save your voicemail directly to your computer so you do not need to access a separate telephone line. VoIP conference calls are made much more efficiently using VoIP telephone systems.

No Fax Machine Required.

• One of the primary reasons many people do not switch over to a VoIP phone system is the fact that they depend on a fax machine for making long distance and international calls.
• VoIP provides a way to avoid this requirement and yet still be able to stay in touch with friends and family.
• Because VoIP phone systems have an inbuilt fax machine, it is very easy to send and receive faxes right from your computer.
