All over the world, voice communication is exorbitant. That’s why Voice over IP (VoIP) was birthed to respond to the practical need to outrageously expensive phone bills and long distance phone calls. Voice over IP is a relatively new technology, so there are a lot of improvements happening along the way and in this article we compiled the benefits of using VoIP.

Affordability 

VoIP telephone systems are affordable in the sense that their maintenance and setting up costs are dramatically less than traditional telephone systems, and according to recent studies, they save up to 40% on local calls and up to 90% on international calls.

Whether you are aware of it or not, time is money, and especially on international calls.

If you’re using an old phone line, you probably have a stopwatch counting the seconds on phone calls, or screaming internally when you get the phone bill. However, VoIP relies entirely on the internet, which needs a broadband internet access but doesn’t even come close to the cost without on. With VoIP, your cost is known regardless of how long your phone calls are.

Mobility 

Did you ever wish that you could be both at the office and an outside meeting simultaneously? Your wish is now a reality and without needing a doppelganger either because VoIP services make you feel like you’re in the office by extending your phone system to wherever you are! If you’re a sales person and want to make an office call, VoIP makes it appear from your office phone number. VoIP service providers are a gem for the hearing impaired; it converts your voicemail to text that you can easily get on your smartphone.

Diversity

Why limit phone calls to a duo and miss out on the input of the rest of your team when VoIP can help you get your entire team in the same conversation? VoIP compresses data packets during transmission which makes the carrier handle more data and consequently handle more calls on one access line.

Easability

All you need for a working VoIP are a sound card, speakers and a microphone. Easy right? Not only that, but it’s also cheap. You might not need a telephone set, like with Skype, install it on your mobile and join in the conversation!

Efficiency

In any voice call conversation, up to 50% is silence, but VoIP has an efficient hack for this silence, it fills it with data so that the bandwidth is given to another bandwidth consumer instead it wasting it in thin air. Moreover, compression and the ability to remove redundancy in some speech patterns add up to the efficiency.

Transcendance

VoIP is based on the Internet Protocol (IP), which is in fact, along with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), the basic underlying protocol for the Internet. VoIP also goes beyond voice, through it you can transfer images, video, and text. You also enjoy caller ID, voicemail, and video calls.

Teleworking

If you work in an organization using an intranet or extranet, you can still access your office from home through VoIP. You can convert your home into a segment of the office and remotely use the voice, fax and data services of your workplace through the organization’s intranet. The portable nature of the VoIP technology is causing it to gain popularity as the trend is towards portable commodities. Portable hardware is becoming more and more common, as are portable services, and VoIP fits in well.

Fax Over IP

Forget about the fax machine; VoIP allows you a 100% reliable process of real-time fax transmission that converts data into transferrable packets.
