What is VoIP? 

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a phone system technology that makes calls over the internet. With VoIP, you can make calls from any device as long as you have an internet connection. It is similar to other internet-based communication applications like Facebook Messenger or Apple Facetime. VoIP is a lot more secure and has reliable HD call quality better suited for small business use. VoIP is not only used to make calls it has 50+ features that your business needs and will help improve your small business. 

1. Call Forwarding

Call forwarding direct calls to another number at no extra cost. With call forwarding, you can create a certain schedule that forwards incoming calls to different numbers. This boosts efficiency across the whole team making sure that there's always someone to answer the call. Further, creating custom journeys can also ensure that after-hour calls are reached via voicemail or transferred to your mobile phone. Making sure every message reaches your business and you are able to get back to customers. 

2. Simultaneous Ringing

Simultaneous Ringing gives you the ability to have multiple devices ring when a call comes in. Increasing the chances of calls being answered quickly across the team, this is particularly helpful for small teams to ensure productivity.  In turn this function decreases the likelihood of missed calls and gives a sense of responsibility across the team to ensure calls are answered.

3. Virtual receptionist

A virtual receptionist can also be used to tend to customers and set up with custom messaging for when you’re out of the office or on lunch breaks. This feature works by using a default (or custom) voice message to alert the caller that you are away from the phone. The caller can then choose to leave a message leaving you to call them back asap. Without a receptionist calls will endlessly ring into the void and it's unlikely that customer will come back to your business.
