A VoIP phone system transmits telephone calls using internet technology rather than traditional copper wires. These systems typically include added features like voicemail, caller identification, conference calling, and call forwarding. Below, learn more about VoIP phone systems and their benefits.

What Is VoIP?

VoIP stands for voice over internet protocol, which describes the process that occurs via this unique system. Voice-over technology converts your voice into digital data signals, which are then transferred through an internet connection.

In other words, VoIP is a phone service transmitted on the internet. This technology is available via specially-equipped phone systems, computers, and other digital devices. Traditional telephones, by contrast, transfer the voice through direct-connect copper wiring.

What Are the Benefits of VoIP?

With traditional landline telephones, you have limited mobility when it comes to taking calls. A VoIP system allows you to make and receive phone calls wherever you have an internet connection—even if you are based internationally. You can route and transfer calls to any data-driven device—or even to a landline phone. Installation and setup are typically fast and easy, requiring little to no special wiring or complex designs.

These systems are usually significantly cheaper than traditional phones, and they tend to integrate well with most existing tech infrastructures. VoIP phones are also designed for scalability, so if you need to add or remove extensions or voicemail boxes, you only need to adjust the system's settings without paying more money.

You also have access to features like teleconferencing that are easy to use and readily accessible. Handsets and consoles are available in a wide variety of styles.
