written by: CMarsh78 Gone are the days where the only way to make telephone calls was by using a conventional phone. The Internet has brought new technology that makes it possible for voice calls to be made over the Internet making use of Voice over ip (Voice Over Internet Protocol). These VOIP systems have allowed calls to be made a lot more affordable, especially those made to other countries. Together with better pricing, Voice over ip systems support additional features, often included cost-free that would incur a charge under the traditional business phone systems . For example, for those who have an Internet allowance on your mobile phone, it is possible to divert your phone calls over Voice over ip to your mobile using a soft phone client. Similarly, should you be working from your home, you can just plug your office VOIP phone into your home internet connection and no-one knows you were not at the office. Additional features include voice mail and this can be forwarded as an attachment to an email, and easily adding an extension by plugging a new VOIP phone into the network and provisioning a new internal extension. You don’t actually need a real life phone number for everyone in the company, most of the VOIP switchboard will be able to receive calls through a single number and enable the caller to call the extension of their choice. These features were recently only available to the large corporate environments that could spend a lot of money on their phone systems, but they are available today for anyone. These types of Voice over ip systems have added an enormous benefit when it comes to versatility to companies, as you no longer really need to be at the office to receive your telephone calls. everyone in the office can have their own extension, their own voice mail, and simple ways of forwarding telephone calls between extensions. Basically, business telephony need not be a headache to companies, and at the same time, the phone bills are becoming cheaper.
