Why should you choose hosted VoIP? – Part 1

Your business already has a phone line, so you may ask yourself why you should bother with hosted VoIP? Over the course of the next two articles, we will present the 5 top reasons for moving your phones to the Cloud – we defy you not to be convinced!

1. Cost effective
If you have eight phones in the office and they will all be in use at once, you need eight telephone lines. However, if you switch to VoIP, all eight phones can be connected to a single broadband line – and you’ll immediately save the equivalent of 7 annual line rental fees.

2. Work anywhere
Plug your telephone handset into the internet and it will connect itself automatically to your hosted VoIP account. Need to work from home for the day? Take your handset and your customers will never know you are out of the office.

With VoIP, remote staff can become part of your virtual environment, allowing you to transfer calls whether they are sat at the next desk, the next county or even the next continent.

3. No installation required
With a correctly configured handset, all you have to do is plug it into your broadband router. Your hosted VoIP service will do all the magic required to make it work and accept calls, meaning there’s no need for the telecoms engineers required to install PBXs and phone handsets.

Don’t forget to check back for reasons 4 and 5, but if you are already satisfied that increased cost effectiveness, improved mobility and reduced installation costs are reasons enough, feel free to give our team a call on 0141 585 6363 to get started with hosted VoIP.
