What is VOIP?

VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. Quite simply it means your telephone conversations are sent through your internet connection rather than through the BT Public Service Telephone Network.

VOIP enables you to route multiple telephone lines through a single internet connection.

Both outgoing and incoming telephone calls can be transported through VOIP over your internet connection.

You can assign whatever geographic or none geographic number you like to your VOIP telephone system or keep the number you use currently.

Why Voice Over IP?

Voice over IP has become synonymous in the consumer press with Internet Telephony, which allows cheap or free phone calls for businesses over their Internet connection. The implications for business are however much more profound than lower cost, variable quality phone calls!

In the last few years, dramatic changes have taken place in both the capability and cost of business phone systems due to the use of VoIP on internal business networks. VoIP has become a truly disruptive technology in this environment, rendering traditional business PABX systems instantly obsolete.

VoIP business phone systems use the internal data network to distribute telephone calls around an organisation with much greater flexibility and often at a lower cost than the traditional PABX systems.

Using the technology in the controlled environment of the internal network, they deliver massive cost and functionality advantages along with improved call quality.
