What is a VoIP phone system?
VoIP is short for Voice over Internet Protocol. The webopedia provides an excellent brief description of what VoIP is and how it works:
“Voice over Internet Protocol is a category of hardware and software that enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit transmissions of the PSTN.
One advantage of VoIP is that the telephone calls over the Internet do not incur a surcharge beyond what the user is paying for Internet access, much in the same way that the user doesn’t pay for sending individual emails over the Internet.”
In short, VoIP is making calls across the Internet. Aside from using a different technology, network and primary voice service, the main feature that distinguishes the VoIP phone system from any other, is its ability to integrate with your other business systems. This integration of systems allows you to increase productivity, efficiency and sales, while providing supreme voice quality that most traditional systems are incapable of.
