Comparing analog phones with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephone systems is like comparing a basic phone to a computer. An analog phone is a basic phone that can connect and is instantly ready to use, but VoIP is a bit more complex than that. Analog phones are probably what you still have at home (if you still have a home phone); They are reliable, easy to use and familiar, but they can probably only offer you a lot.
An analog telephone system, also commonly known as a POTS, converts voice signals to electronic signals that travel over the telephone line until they reach the destination. These voice signals can travel in two ways - from one phone to another and vice versa - because the telephone system offers two-way communication. Users who communicate with each other using POTS or analog systems are connected through a copper wire subscriber loop that extends from a central exchange to many homes and businesses. Subscribers are assigned to a phone number that allows them to contact others.
If you do not know anything about VoIP, it is a system that converts analog telephone signals into digital signals and runs your telephone system on an IP network through its own IP address or Internet, combining voice and data on a secure network. Digital signals that are being converted can be delivered over the Internet from one home or business to another. This method of communication is cost effective and easy to use. Of course, its features may differ depending on the size of your business, but it is generally the same idea for small and large companies alike. So, why are more companies turning to VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) communication and abandoning their conventional fixed lines? VoIP communication systems offers several advantages for small and large companies.
VoIP communication systems offer a secure and quality service, managing calls through their own private networks. VoIP also offers more features than a traditional analog phone such as voicemail, caller ID, Internet fax, virtual receptionists, advanced call detection and forwarding, integrated office software and sending voice mail to a personal email or phone cell phone. Advanced technology has even provided access to web and video conferencing with VoIP.
Business VoIP services are generally cheaper than traditional telephony services, even with all the additional features listed above. There is less hardware to buy or lease, if any, and monthly subscription fees are lower. Several hosted providers offer applications for smartphones that allow the user to make and receive calls through their data connection that can be connected to their office phone or left as a stand-alone option. Adding new extensions is also an easier task with VoIP communication systems.
Among all these advantages of VoIP is the increase in productivity. Choosing the VoIP communication system simplifies and combines your communication tools. This is a step beyond analog or traditional telephone lines.
While your analog equipment may be running for your small business, consider choosing a VoIP communication system for additional benefits such as security, enhanced productivity, and features such as caller ID, voice mail forwarding, and call screening.
