VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the latest technology in phone systems. Your phone calls can travel over the internet as data, just as e-mail does. This technology can lower your communications costs as well as increase your productivity. VoIP offers features and capabilities that aren’t available with traditional phones. Some of the top benefits to VoIP are:

• Take the phone system with you. As long as you have internet access, you can use your VoIP system at hotels, your home, or at a friend’s home.
• Talk on your laptop. VoIP systems include software that enables you to send and receive calls with a headset unit connected to your computer.
• Get your voicemail and faxes sent to your email. This allows you to save time, checking voicemails on your computer while dialing a number instead of missing another call because you were checking your voicemail. And to save trees, that fax you received, doesn’t get printed unless you want it to.
• Increase productivity. Most VoIP numbers can be configured to simultaneously ring on multiple devices, such as your cell phone and the office landline. This helps to eliminate time-consuming "phone tag."
