VoIP Is The Cost Effective – Smart Choice
November 3, 2009
VoIP is a cheaper option for dialtone both for personal or business use. I know many friends who have already made the switch which was initially because of cost but then they found the features available with the service the reason to stay. For those who are still on the fence, here’s what INC. Technology had to say:
“Small businesses that opt to go with cable firms for their voice service find their monthly bills are about 10 to 15 percent cheaper than with plain old telephone service a/k/a “POTS.” Moreover, few take any issue with the voice quality, especially Mike Arden, principal analyst with ABI Research, of Oyster Bay, N.Y. Arden says that quality is mainly a problem when you contract with third parties. “The really inexpensive services can’t control the quality,” he says.
There are two ways to get VoIP service. One is to get a hosted service. The other is to install a PBX router over a broadband line. Arden says in each case, the grade of voice reception depends on the amount of bandwidth. Arden added that his research showed that small businesses often gravitated to cable-based VoIP so they can get more features for the same price as basic POTS, not necessarily because they wanted to save money.
Such features include things like unified messaging that let employees keep voicemails on their desktop PCs as audio files.”
