subject: Top 5 Benefits of a Business Phone System [print this page] VoIP is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world. You can see how the changes have affected the globe over the past five years as small businesses have begun to communicate with other international businesses with more frequency and greater ease. If you haven't yet switched to a hosted phone system, here are the top five reasons why you should consider it.1. Cheaper phone service: When you make international calls it can be absurdly expensive. That's why it's best to use a hosted phone system for the calls you do make. Consumer Reports show in a survey that most customers who transfer to a business toll free number save an average of $50 per month.2. International Rates: A business phone system can save you drastic amounts of cash if you have international clientele. A flat rate between $15 and $30 usually includes calls to Canada. Calls to other countries are dirt cheap, often just cents per minute to remote places. On the other hand, Qwest charges 14 cents per minute to call Canada, and a $4 charge to call China.3. Features: A hosted phone system usually comes with tons of free features. Caller ID, call waiting, 3 way calling, voicemail, call forwarding, the list goes on and on. You can create an "out of town" number also, which will allow friends, family and clients who don't yet have a hosted phone system to call you locally, saving them money in the process. Another convenient new feature is accessing your voicemail via e-mail.4. Reliability: You can use VoIP anywhere, anytime. When your customers call you, they can choose who they want to talk to from a touch tone phone. If you don't have a business phone system, your customers may call when you're out of the office and be discouraged, but VoIP makes you all the more easier to reach. The lines are open all the time, because the internet never closes. And yet you can still choose the privacy settings you want and need.5. Mobility: VoIP can go anywhere you go, or at least anywhere with an Internet connection. Traveling is made easy, as long as you have a VoIP phone adapter. When you choose the "Travel Globally" feature, you don't have to worry about being out of the office and missing important business calls.If these five reasons didn't convince you that it's time to switch to VoIP, I don't know what will. There are so many improvements in technology occurring that if you don't switch to them, or find out about them soon, you won't be in the loop, and you will have more trouble switching when you finally do. So now that you know about VoIP's business phone system, what are you waiting for?
