If you're interested in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems, you may be wondering where to begin. What do you need to get started? How long does it take to get everything set up and ready to go? Here's what to know about your first steps with VoIP phone systems.
Getting Started With VoIP
You might be surprised to hear that VoIP phone systems might just be the easiest business solution you'll ever leverage. Why? Simple: You don't need to make any significant changes to get started!
Here's what you need:
-
Your phones: That's right--you don't need to upgrade your hardware. Existing phones (and even smartphones and other devices) often work with VoIP systems.
-
Your internet connection: If you're reading this, you likely already have your internet connection figured out. That means you've done the most important thing for VoIP phone systems, which rely on Wi-Fi instead of copper wires to share voice, text, and other data.
-
Adapters: Your VoIP provider often provides adapters to help make non-connected devices capable of working with VoIP service, further eliminating the need to upgrade hardware.
VoIP Phone Systems: What You Get
You only need a few things to get started with VoIP phone systems and service, but the list of benefits you get in return is so much longer. Take a look:
-
Reliability: The best VoIP providers offer 99.999% uptime through continuous service monitoring. That means virtually nonexistent downtime and more productivity for your teams.
-
Flexibility: VoIP phone systems allow you to scale your solutions based on your communication needs, the distribution of your remote or hybrid teams, your utilization of mobile devices, and more.
-
Features: From call forwarding and caller ID to conference calling, call blocking, and automated attendants, VoIP gives you access to a little bit of everything.
In conclusion, VoIP phone systems might just be one of the simplest solutions you'll ever utilize--but they provide a lot of value, benefits, and solutions for your teams.
