How Can IP Telephony Save You Money?



Can you recall the days when you had to pick up a telephone to answer and make calls? And when you do, the internet connection disconnects? Those were the days, the inconvenient days.

Today, there’s hardly any sight of such a scenario. Almost everyone in the world is using cable or DSL
internet connections.

Now, there’s no problem if you’re still using a landline. It’s fine. But what you need to look into is the phone system you’re currently using. What you need to realize is that you should use your internet to its fullest advantage and that means using it as your phone connection too. In other words, IP telephony (internet protocol).

IP telephony is the technology that uses internet protocol packet-switched connections for faxing, calling, video calls and more. Back then, internet connections were simply using dedicated circuit-switched connections of PSTN (public switched telephone network).

So, what does this mean for your company and business? For one, it saves you money. You don’t need to subscribe to a different phone system provider and an internet provider. If you choose to go with IP telephony, telecom companies offer great deals for bundles.

Further, you don’t need to pay different rates for local calls and long-distance calls. When you use the internet protocol telephony for phone system, all calls have the same rate. And mind you, these calls are unlimited too.

Another thing is that it is more convenient. IP telephony allows you to make calls from your computer. You just have to sit on your chair, in front of your computer and reach anyone you wish. Whether they are in another office or on the other side of the world, you can easily call them. And again, the rate remains the same.

Adding to the convenience is the easy installation and reduction of wires needed. This modern phone system can be setup with the use of minimal wiring, which makes the office look more organized and tidy. To add, the less wires there are, the easier it will be to fix any problem.

However, not all IP phone systems are designed the same way. There are standard ones, but of course, it is best that you go for something that will suit the communication needs of your company. Look into the packages, the pricing and determine what deal is best for your budget and your needs. Also, make sure that the company is a reputable one; you really don’t want poor or unstable internet connection every time.

IP Telephony Explained



The internet has changed the way we do a lot of things. From buying things through online shopping, to communicating with our loved ones through different social media sites --- everything has been affected by the innovations in the World Wide Web.

Another technology offered by the internet changed our way of life is VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP made calls to landline and mobile phones possible. With this technology, you no longer need to have a landline wired into your home to be able to make a phone call these days. But how exactly does this technology work?

VoIP is made possible through IP telephony or IP telephone system, where IP stands for Internet Protocol. It is an organized effort to standardize IP telephony. IP telephony is a general term for the technologies that use your Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information. Traditionally, these kinds of information have been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of public switched telephone networks. Through an IP telephone system, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines. It converges computers, telephones, and televisions into a single integrated information environment. This is why calls made through the Internet are cheap, if not free.

Providers of IP telephony services include Internet Service Providers, local telephone companies, long distance providers, cable TV companies, and fixed service wireless operators. And because IP telephony services also affect vendors of traditional handheld devices, this sector might be an IP telephone system provider in the near future.

However, it is not all smooth-sailing in the IP telephony system industry. Unlike traditional phone services, IP telephony services are relatively unregulated by the government which makes it harder for consumers to demand for better services. As of now, IP telephony requires sufficient bandwidth to ensure that transmission of information is not delayed. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to its users or to minimize the delay in the transmission of information. Much of the IP telephony industry focuses on this challenge.

If you are interested in an IP telephone system, make sure you find a reliable provider who gives easy to use solutions with high quality of voice calls. There is much to be improved in the IP telephony system industry, but these basics are already there. You should experience it as a paying customer.
