It is well-established that digital phone service is much more affordable than conventional landline service. Most businesses that switch see immediate savings of 25% per month, though many enjoy savings of 50% or even more. Getting more for less is always a good strategy — especially these days with tight budgets and relentless competition. However, it is important to keep in mind that not all digital phone service companies offer the same value. Some advertise low prices, but behind-the-scenes they tack on all kinds of extra fees. Is this unethical? Absolutely. Is it illegal? Probably not. In most cases, the details...

As we all know, the best investments in life are those that “pay for themselves.” Here are 4 reasons why a VoIP digital phone for business belongs in this category: 1. A Digital Phone System for Your Business Dramatically Lowers Remote Worker Telecommunication Costs  Installing a business-grade landline in a home office can cost around $600.

That means the telecommunication costs for just ONE remote worker can cost your business $1800 in the first year, and then $1200 every year after that.  With a...

When you ask Google to find “business phone providers near me,” then you will get plenty of options (possibly including one that brought you to this article!). Obviously, Google is helpful here — but there is MUCH more to the story that you need to know. Why? Because while Google (which is by far the most popular search engine on the planet) can list some “business providers near me,” it cannot go deeper and tell you which specific providers are trustworthy and credible — and which are not. In other words: just being in close proximity to a business phone provider...

For many things “Google is your friend” is good advice. But there are exceptions. And as many businesses have unhappily discovered, using Google Voice is on the list. Here are 7 reasons why:   No Calls to Emergency Services Shockingly, Google Voice does not support calls to emergency services. This enormous limitation alone should make it a non-starter as a business phone system. Picture this nightmare headline: “Business Fails to Call Fire Department Right Away Because Its Phone System Won’t Dial Emergency Services”.   No Business Caller ID When making calls with Google Voice, a business’s regular phone number does not appear on Caller ID. Instead,...

Below, we highlight 3 must-have small business benefits of a web-based softphone: 1.

When a business grows, so too will its requirements for infrastructure like telephone systems. The traditional way to provide phone services in an office environment, for example, is with a traditional PBX (private branch exchange) setup. Such setups are usually very expensive, inflexible, and complicated to install and administer. These days, a better solution is to use a hosted phone system (sometimes known as a virtual PBX). If you’re new to a hosted phone system, the following will explain more about them and how your organization could benefit: What Is a Hosted Phone System? A hosted phone system is a virtual PBX that operates...
