In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the way we communicate has undergone a significant transformation. One of the most notable shifts has been the transition from traditional landline telephones to digital phone services. This change has not only redefined personal communication but has also revolutionized business interactions worldwide. Digital phone services, often referred to as internet telephony or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), allow users to make voice calls using a broadband internet connection instead of a regular analog phone line. This technology converts voice vibrations into digital data packets, which are then transmitted over the internet and converted back into...

Carolina Digital Phone has been in business for more than 20 years. For very select companies in some industries, this is not an exceptionally long period. For example, founded in 1806, Colgate is still going strong and the legendary Pabst Brewing Company has been around since 1844. However, in the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) marketplace, 20+ years is an ETERNITY. You can probably measure the average lifespan of a VoIP company in months rather than years. We have seen so many companies come and go — a few because they were unlucky, but the vast majority because they did...

When it comes to evaluating and choosing a cloud phone system, there are a lot of things to consider. Be sure to think about things like auto attendant, unlimited calling, mobile device apps for remote teams, video conferencing, and instant messaging. Then there are things like voicemail transcriptions, team messaging, toll-free numbers, and a list of advanced features to consider. Yet, in the big picture and long run, there is one factor that — more than any other — will determine whether your experience is profitable and rewarding, or costly and regrettable: RELIABILITY.
