Are You Still Using Landlines?

Using Landlines

Conventional phones are extremely outdated in today’s modern world – so why are you still using them? Get untangled from your landline, and let VoIP phones boost your business’ efficiency, reliability, and quality.

A recent study revealed that 94% of business’ marketing budgets are spent trying to get consumers to call. If businesses are paying so much of their advertising and marketing budget on a communications system, shouldn’t it be reliable and efficient?

This need for a more reliable form of communication is forcing many businesses to make the transition from the landline to VoIP phones. However, this transition can be a scary process.

How are you supposed to make this transition while running your business? A lapse in phone service means a loss of communication with your customers, which could mean a loss of profit.

Why move to VoIP?

The move to VoIP phones offers your business improvements in efficiency, reliability, and quality, all at an affordable cost. Landline phones are becoming obsolete – by choosing to remain with a landline system, your business may become obsolete as well.

• Efficiency
  VoIP phones provide your business improved efficiency by limiting issues that come from having to replace or fix phones, as well as complicated management of adding and or removing employees.

  On traditional landline phone systems, you would have to wait lengthy periods of time for a phone to be replaced, or for a roll truck to fix issues. All this time spent waiting for a fix costs you money.

  With a VoIP phone system, you don’t have to deal with these issues, which means less downtime. VoIP phones also improve your business’ efficiency by providing you with numerous options for routing and answering calls, without the expensive on-premises technology and staff.

• Reliability
  VoIP phones provide your business improved reliability by delivering a clear, seamless quality of phone service. This service can run on multiple internet connections, and can even extend to your smartphone.

  VoIP phones can work reliably through anything that mother nature may throw at you from hurricanes to snowstorms. Additionally, if you lose your business due to a fire, your VoIP phones phone service will still work. This is one of the main reasons why there are now over 288 million VoIP phones users.

• Quality
  VoIP phones provide your business improved quality through clarity of your calls. These calls come with a digital readout display, and the option to work without a headset.

For those that still wish to use a headset, they can receive their calls through the use of a “softphone”, which is software that allows users to make telephone calls through the internet on their computers.
