VoIP Phone Systems

With consumer companies such as Skype and Vonage, VoIP is all the buzz these days. What is VoIP? VoIP stands for “Voice over Internet Protocol,” and in its simplest form means you can make telephone calls using your Internet connection. This has the obvious benefits of saving money on phone service, but also offers additional benefits to businesses that use VoIP-enabled phone systems.

VoIP Phone Systems Reduce Phone Bills

The primary benefit of a VoIP Phone System is the ability to make VoIP phone calls, saving up to 70% on phone bills. When businesses aren’t ready to make the jump into a purely VoIP phone service, phone systems such as Fonality PBXtra can be configured to use VoIP selectively for designated calls, such as intra-office, branch office, and international calls.

VoIP Phone Systems Mean Advanced Features

VoIP Phone Systems enable new and improved features that weren’t possible with traditional systems, such as unified messaging (integrated voice/data applications) and support for telecommuters and branch offices. Fonality PBXtra incorporates these VoIP Phone System features plus more. Fonality PBXtra also has web-based administration, proactive monitoring, disaster recovery, HUD presence management, CRM Integration, and FindMe with Boomerang Mobile Integration. And, as Fonality PBXtra releases new features, our customers with support contracts will receive these new features automatically.

VoIP Phone Systems Enable Network Simplicity

VoIP phone systems let businesses use their existing data network for both computers and telephones. In fact, each work station only needs one Ethernet cable, and with built-in Ethernet switches in IP-Phones, the desktop computer shares the one Ethernet drop and plugs right into the phone. This may seem like a simple benefit, but often reduces hefty cabling fees for new offices, and allows offices with existing cabling upgrade to VoIP-enabled phone systems without re-cabling.
