Should I Switch My Small Business Phone System to VoIP?

S

Yes, many companies have already switched to Voice over IP and Cloud-based Telephony services. As a matter of fact, if you don’t switch your business to a cloud-based phone system like VoIP, you’ll soon have to. Small businesses can go around well without a VoIP service. However, the future of communications lies within cloud-based phone systems. It is best to make the shift right now. It is smart to invest today so the phone system can pay you off in later years while your business grows. 

The pandemic has already made everyone familiar with digital communications. In fact, people have also come to know the true importance of digital communications now. Compared to traditional communications systems, cloud-based communication systems provide multiple advantages like Pay-as-you-Go plans for easy billing, increased flexibility with scale up or down options, and less training on operating the cloud-based business phone systems (thanks to the already available free online training).

Does VoIP System work if the internet is down?

D

Modern VoIP systems are totally dependent on the Internet to function properly. However, if there is an internet failure, the Providers of the VoIP service have fallback facilities. Thus, companies can define what needs to happen when the target device is not online.

So, technically, the VoIP system can still run while the internet is down. This mechanism is called failover protection and can be activated without any human intervention. It means other options are considered in such a case, backup lines are attached that are analog lines for routing calls when there is no internet. As soon as the internet is up and running back again, the phone lines will be connected to Digital. Thus, the Hosted system maintains a smooth flow of communication and makes sure no calls are missed while there are technical issues including the internet being down.
