VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol is one of the newer phone systems developed today. You may not have been aware of it, but you are already making VoIP calls whenever you place long-distance calls. Telephone companies use VOIP to streamline their systems. By steering many telephone calls through a circuit switch and into an IP entryway, they can genuinely lessen the transmission capacity they're utilizing for the long term. When the call is appropriated by an entryway on the other side of the call, it is decompressed, reassembled and steered to a nearby circuit switch.

More and more businesses are installing VoIP phone systems because of the practicality they bring in terms of both economics and infrastructure requirements. Just imagine, with a VOIP phone system, you can make a call anywhere as long as you have broadband connectivity. And with the smart phones we have nowadays, business travellers can take their phones with them on trips and access their home phone from there.

A typical VOIP phone system includes caller id, call waiting, call transfer, repeat dial, return call, and three-way calling features. Advanced call-filtering options are also available from some carriers. Call filtering feature use caller ID information to allow you make a choice about how calls from a particular number are handled. You can forward the call to a particular number, send the call directly to voice mail, give the caller a busy signal, play a "not-in-service" message, or send the caller to a funny rejection hotline.

With numerous VoIP services, you can additionally check voice mail by means of the Internet. You may also append messages to an e-mail that is sent to your laptop, PC, or tablets.

These services are all valuable to small, medium, and big businesses. Business will also benefit from toll-free numbers that can be provided by VOIP service providers. Of course, VOIP phone system features depend on the package that a business will avail. It is therefore imperative for business owners to analyze their business plans and assess their communication needs. Additionally, not all VOIP service providers offer the features described above. Costs and services vary a lot so it’s best to do a little window shopping before you decide.
