Frequently asked Questions
What is VoIP, and how does it work?
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) lets you access phone service over the internet. Calls are no longer dependent on old traditional phone lines. VoIP achieves greater functionality at a lower cost for businesses.
Many business owners report cost savings up to 70% after switching to phone service to VoIP. These modern phone systems include many business features that boost productivity and revenue.
How is the call quality of a VoIP phone?
The call quality of cloud communications systems depends on the speed and reliability of your internet.
You will hear a vast improvement in call quality compared to traditional landlines. Landlines don’t have as much audio bandwidth, which can result in muffled or fuzzy calls.
How much does VoIP phone service typically cost?
There are three main cloud communications plans:
- Business Communication Suite starts at $20 per month.
- SIP Trunking starts at $14.95 per month
- VoIP Call Center starts at $50 per month
As for savings, this can vary from business to business. Many companies report savings of up to 70% after switching to VoIP. The more users and phone lines you use, the more you’ll save!
If I lose power, will I still be able to make phone calls with VoIP?
In most cases, you will not be able to connect calls if there’s a power outage. Our VoIP phone system works over the internet. During a power outage, your router will not be able to function, which means there will be no internet access.
The only exception to this is if you have a backup power source that could power the router (and therefore maintain your internet connection). If you use Power over Ethernet (PoE), that may need backup power as well.
In the event of a power outage, you can instruct your VoIP provider to forward calls to a cell phone or direct them to a voicemail box. This solution avoids busy signals and rejected calls for customers.
What is Voicemail-to-Email?
Whenever you get a voicemail recording, this will be converted digitally into a .WAV file and sent to your email address automatically.
Getting voicemails delivered in your inbox serves as a reminder and a convenient digital format that you can save for later. You can directly listen to voicemail messages from your computer instead of dialing with your phone.
What is a cloud PBX?
A cloud PBX allows you to use all of your company’s phone service that is hosted using a service over the internet.
All the features of a PBX can be delivered seamlessly through the internet instead of hardware located on-site. A cloud PBX can save your company thousands in expenses. Your IT team would instead focus on more significant challenges than messing with an outdated phone system.
Even if you move offices or are overseas, you’ll be able to access your communications systems as well as make and receive calls.
What is an Auto Attendant?
You can view an auto attendant as a virtual receptionist that directs callers to the correct people or departments.
When a customer calls, they will be greeted by a recorded greeting, which then directs the caller to press a key, depending on what they need.
For example, your auto attendant could tell callers to “Press 1 for accounts, press 2 for Customer Service, or press 3 for technical help.”
It saves time by directing users to the right department without unwanted transfers throughout the day. Auto attendant functions 24/7 and can adjust the options depending on the time of day, too.
How fast does my broadband speed need to be for high-quality calls?
For regular quality calls (landline quality), it requires 90 Kbps download and upload — with more importance on the upload speed. For HD call quality, it requires 200 Kbps download and upload. Based on the download and upload speeds, you can divide these by the required bandwidth numbers mentioned above.
