You want to or already have deployed a VoIP capable phone system for your business, but where are
the monthly cost savings, VoIP?
You’ve seen some savings by reusing your existing company infrastructure,
like network wiring, and you’ve seen a boost in productivity because of all the features that
can come with VoIP and specifically, an IP PBX, but do you really need to entrust your voice to the wild
west of the Internet to see any real impact on your monthly bill? We’ll explore ways to get the most out
of an IP PBX deployment so that your calls are as cheap and as reliable as you are willing to make
them. And we’ll look at ways to help you decide how much risk your company can tolerate in the name
of slashing phone bills.
Wait, but isn’t VoIP free?
Not exactly, no. So what are you paying for then? If you make a call using VoIP to another user of the
same VoIP network, then yes, this call could potentially be free. This is really dependent on what the
owner of that network has decided for their policy. If the owner of the network is you, as in the case of
multiple IP PBX systems joined together, then yes, those calls are free. If you’re not calling another
VoIP user, like in the case where a VoIP call is made to a cell phone, somewhere, somehow, that call
needs to jump out of the VoIP network and “terminate” into the PSTN. That’s the service you’re paying
for when you’re paying for VoIP service |
