What is VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that enables voice transmissions to travel over the Internet digitally through high speed internet connections, rather than over traditional designated phone lines.
What’s the scoop on Cloud PBX?
Cloud PBX is simply a phone service which is provided over the internet through a provider, such as Cutting Edge Systems, instead of a phone line. Think of the term “Cloud” as you would think of the “Internet” because they are one in the same. Cloud PBX phone systems use the internet to connect you to the person you are speaking with instead of using telephone wires. The digital connection is more crisp and clear than the traditional analog connection too – bonus!
How do I make a call over a VoIP connection?
It’s the same concept as making calls with an ordinary phone. The difference is that you either use an IP phone that is plugged into an Ethernet instead of a phone jack or you use a soft phone that is web based. You can also use your cell phone and operate your business using a different phone number that has an extension which is forwarded to your cell phone.
Why should I choose a VoIP phone service?
VoIP allows you to look like a Fortune 500 company without having to spend like a Fortune 500 company. VoIP is a great way for a business of any size to reduce phone bills.
