Owning and operating a dedicated business phone system is a frustrating and expensive ordeal when business owners insist on using traditional landline phone systems. Most systems require a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) server to manage multiple phone lines and extensions, which costs thousands of dollars just to purchase and install. Factor in the cost of phone service, maintenance, and the dedicated IT staff needed to keep it running, and the bill ends up running up thousands of dollars monthly.
Thankfully, businesses can use a money-saving alternative to phone service that uses the Internet to relay calls. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems use far simpler phone switching techniques than the the old-school phone companies do: this not only means lower costs, but better audio quality and more included features, too. Subscribing to a business VoIP service is more than just a great way to save money, it’s a great way to give a business an entire communications makeover.
